Other exposure needs direct and external action
For an existing offshore account, request closure or permanent restriction through a verified channel, stop marketing and retain confirmation. Add bank gambling blocks, device filtering and app-store restrictions where useful. Do not sign in repeatedly to check whether exclusion worked if doing so creates a trigger; ask a trusted person for support.
- ADirect closure request
- BFinancial and device blocks
- CAvoid trigger testing
