Time-out or self-exclusion?
Both stop you from playing, but they suit different needs.
| Feature | Time-out | Self-exclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Typical length | Hours to a few weeks | Several months to permanent |
| Purpose | A short pause to cool off | A firm, longer break from gambling |
| Ending early | Usually not possible once set | Normally not possible during the period |
| Marketing | May pause promotional messages | Promotional contact should stop |

How to request a break
If Siti88 offers these options, they are usually in account settings; support can also help.
- Decide how long you need, choosing longer if you are unsure.
- Withdraw any remaining balance you are entitled to, or ask support how it will be handled.
- Select the time-out or self-exclusion option and the period, then confirm.
- Keep the confirmation message as a record.

What changes during the exclusion
You should not be able to log in, deposit or play while the period runs. Promotional emails and messages should also stop.
An exclusion with one operator does not block other gambling sites. Opening accounts elsewhere defeats the purpose, so consider wider blocking steps.

Making the break stick
A few practical steps make it harder to slip back during a difficult moment.
- Install gambling-blocking software on your phone and computer.
- Unsubscribe from gambling newsletters and mute related social accounts.
- Ask your bank about blocking gambling transactions.
- Tell someone you trust about the break so they can support you.
- Fill the time with a planned activity during hours you used to play.

When the period ends
Some operators require you to contact them before an account reopens, sometimes with a cooling-off delay. Use that moment to decide honestly whether returning is a good idea, and set limits first if you do.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I cancel a self-exclusion if I change my mind?
Generally no. Exclusions are designed to hold for the full period so they cannot be undone in a weak moment.
What happens to my balance if I self-exclude?
Operators usually return eligible funds or keep them available for withdrawal. Ask support to confirm before or when you set the exclusion.
Will I still receive offers while excluded?
You should not. If promotional messages continue, report it to the operator's support team.

Set a time and spending limit now, and ask for support early if play stops being fun.
