Gambling operators are required to implement responsible gambling tools to help people who gamble. One such tool is voluntary self-exclusion (VSE). This tool allows people to exclude themselves from a gambling platform for a chosen amount of time. The researchers analyzed a real-world sample of UK adults who gambled on online casino games and opted for a VSE. Most of the people (75%) who took a short-term VSE gambled again afterwards. Most people (99%) who took a long-term VSE did not return to gamble. People who returned to gamble on the same platform did not change the amount of money they wagered. The researchers identified several factors associated with a higher chance of returning to gamble after a VSE.
