FOR ONLINE GAMBLING:
?Online gambling in Austria, legally require players to open an online gambling account and permit temporary accounts. An account can be opened after verification of identities. Austria allows temporary accounts to exist until the verification process is triggered by anti-money laundering legislation, therefore direct operators can refer to official national databases or to use identification systems utilised by financial services. Self-exclusion can be initiated by third party- operator for example. Operators are permitted to unilaterally exclude customers if such action can be justified on social responsibility grounds. Operators have to action self-exclusion requests immediately or as soon as it is possible. If player wants to self-exclude himself, he is allowed self-exclusion periods to be set by him. Player is also allowed to use temporary self-exclusions, which can be revoked. Termination of temporary self-exclusion can only be actioned after 24-hour cooling off period. Permanent self-exclusion can be terminated, but a minimum of 7 days must pass before permanent self-exclusion can be revoked Self-exclusion schemes are limited to the territory of Upper Austria, Vienna and Salzburg. Website must have links to available support for problem gambling.
FOR LAND-BASED GAMBLING

Self-exclusion from physical casinos:
The exclusion of gamblers can take place either at the request of the player, at the initiative of casino operators, or by third parties that are directly involved. The ban lasts at least one year. After this period the player can make a written request to lift the ban. Operators can be held liable for losses if they fail to prevent vulnerable players from playing.
Self-exclusion forms are available at every German casino. Furthermore, many casino operators offer these forms on their websites. A self-exclusion in any of the licensed German casinos will result in a ban for all the licensed German casinos. All licensed operators are obliged to control access to slots and table gaming areas to ensure that self-excluded gamblers are not permitted to play. German’s gambling operators are obligated to offer self-exclusion facilities for online players.
Germany allow for self-exclusion to be initiated by third parties, permits operators to exclude players if social responsibility measures justify such action. Operators to action self-exclusion requests immediately or as soon as it is possible (they do not need to wait for confirmation from the customer). Germany established national self-exclusion registers. If player wants to self-exclude himself, he needs to contact every single operator (they had to open an account with each of them)- usually through the option on operator’s website.

Self-exclusion appears to be available in online casinos. In addition, Latvian players can ask to be added to the central (unified) registry of people who want to be banned from gambling including interactive gambling. The minimum self-exclusion period is 12 months. Latvians can do it in writing on the website www.latvija.lv using the link ‘restrictions on participation in gambling’. When a new client is trying to register in any licensed casino, gambling operators must run a mandatory check to see if this person is on a central self-exclusion registry or not.
Addiction and others effected helpline: Phone: 29 323 202. This is a social initiative of the Esi brīvs society (“Be free”) and the Skalbes crisis centre.

Lithuania also has one of the largest self-exclusion lists in this area of Europe. Over 4,000 residents willingly applied themselves to be excluded from any form of gambling. This can be done via the government website: https://lpt.lrv.lt/en/
This self-exclusion is an optional measure that must be followed by every casino. To gamble in Lithuania, players must be at least 18. However, this only allows the inclusion of bingo, and lotteries. To enter a casino, or bet on any other type of gambling, you must be 21 years of age.

A crackdown on illegal betting parlors and casinos took place once regulation was enacted. This severely cut down the number of casinos in the country. In order to operate a casino in Lithuania now, you need to pay a $1.1 million license fee and obtain a legitimate gaming license from the government. These extra steps and fees created an expansion of larger casino groups inside the country, with a large number of the groups being the same ones you’ll find in neighbouring countries.
?
Problem gambling is a priority in Lithuania and is addressed in its legislation. Some say it’s one of the best countries when it comes to curbing problem gambling. One of the unique laws revolving around problem gambling is the ban on any type of advertising for casinos, or gambling in general. This means no commercials, print ads, or other form of advertising. The only exception is sponsorships on sports teams and venues. Smaller casinos have been known to skirt this law, but are always fined heavily when found in breach of this regulation.
?
Gamblers can self-exclude themselves from casinos, gambling parlours and bingo halls all licensed with the Malta Gaming Authority. Self-exclusion periods vary from 6 months, 1 year and an indefinite period. According to the New Gaming Act, if a gambler wants to self-exclude for an indefinite period, the medical certificate is no longer requested. Just bring a valid ID Card. Call 1777 to book an appointment.
Gamblers have the right to self-exclude oneself from entering any physical gaming establishment hosting gaming and/or to exclude oneself from playing games online through licensed service providers. Gamblers have the right to set limits on the amount of time, on losses or amounts wagered in any given session of an online game.

Many New Zealanders enjoy buying the odd Lotto ticket, playing the occasional pokies game or having a day out at the races. However, for some people, gambling becomes addictive and causes havoc for their family, whānau, finances, work and friendships.
New Zealand Multi-Venue Exclusion (MVE)
MVE has been used as an intervention tool in New Zealand since 2011 to enable gamblers to self-exclude from multiple venues without having to visit each individual site. Since 2003, the Gambling Act in New Zealand has allowed a person to self-exclude from a gambling venue. This means that once the exclusion process is initiated, it is an offence for a gambler to enter the gambling area of the venue from where they are excluded, and for a venue operator to allow an excluded gamble

The leaflets also include relevant contact details of help centres and hotlines.

The National Council on Problem Gambling operates the National Problem Gambling Helpline Network. The network is a single national access point to local resources for those seeking help for a gambling problem.

The information compiled below by NCPG is intended to be a starting point for individuals to learn more about problem gambling — it is not a complete list of information or services. We encourage you to ask questions, gather information and conduct research on the type of help that is most appropriate for your situation.
