Date Added: August 28, 2018

This review article summarizes existing studies on land-based self-exclusion programs. It describes the demographic characteristics, gambling behaviour, problem gambling severity, and mental health of self-excluders. Most of the 19 reviewed studies were of moderate quality. Self-excluders were mainly men in their early to mid-forties. At enrollment, most self-excluders had symptoms of anxiety, depression, tobacco and alcohol use disorders. After self-exclusion, improvement in problem gambling severity and mental health was observed. This review could be used by gambling venues and treatment providers to improve the efficacy of self-exclusion programs.
