When you apply for a gambling suspension<\/h4><\/div>

A voluntary, requested gambling suspension which you apply for yourself often proves to be an effective measure against gambling problems. You can apply for it in person at any time in a Swiss casino or in writing with a copy of proof of identification attached. Gambling suspensions apply to all physical casinos in Switzerland and all Swiss providers of online gambling (lotteries, sports betting, online casino and poker games).<\/p>\n

Send the completed application form and a copy of a valid identification document (ID, passport or driver\u2019s license) to a Swiss casino of your choice. We recommend that you send your application to the casino in which you predominantly played. The application form is valid only with a signature. <\/span>You must apply separately for a gambling suspension at foreign casinos.<\/p>\n

If you wish to request a voluntary gambling suspension in person in the casino, just bring a valid form of identification. Ideally, you should ask to speak to the person responsible when you arrive at the casino. You will also be given information on the conditions for lifting the gambling suspension and the advice available at external addiction centers.<\/p>\n<\/div>
