Helping others - Third Party Exclusion

Crown understands that sometimes individuals may have difficulty in accepting their gambling problem or may be unwilling to access help for themselves. For this reason, Crown has a Third Party Exclusion Application available for family members or friends that are concerned about a loved one’s gambling. This application process enables family or friends to submit information outlining their concerns to the Crown PlaySafe Team.

Submitting a Third Party Exclusion Application is a very serious undertaking and Crown always encourages the third party seeking to have a person excluded to discuss voluntary Self Exclusion with the person they are concerned about prior to lodging a Third Party Exclusion Application. The Crown PlaySafe Team can assist and advise you on this. More information on Self Exclusion is available here.
