Why the Block Feels Like a Brick Wall

You’ve hit the «self-exclusion» button on Gamban and now the app is a locked vault. The problem? It’s not just a toggle; it’s a deep-set safeguard that refuses to budge until you follow a very specific dance.

The Straight-Through Route: Reset the App

First, uninstall. Yes, delete the whole thing from your device. Then, reinstall from the official store. This wipes the local cache, but remember: the server still holds the flag.

Step One: Verify Your Identity

Log in to your Gamban account on a desktop browser. The portal will ask for a selfie, a government ID, maybe even a utility bill. They want proof you’re the same person who set the block. Skip the «I’m not a robot» nonsense, just snap a clear photo and upload.

Step Two: Contact Support Directly

Open a ticket. Use the «Help» button, not the generic FAQ. Subject line: «Self-Exclusion Removal Request». In the body, be blunt: «I need the exclusion lifted now because I’m handling my own recovery.» Attach the ID proof again. They’ll reply within 24-48 hours with a code.

Enter the Code, Break the Chain

Back in the app, go to Settings → Self-Exclusion. Paste the code you received. Hit «Confirm». If it fails, double-check you typed it exactly; a single wrong digit nullifies the whole effort.

What Happens If It Still Won’t Budge?

Sometimes the server refuses because the exclusion period hasn’t elapsed. Gamban enforces a minimum lock-time — usually 30 days. You can’t hack that; you either wait or appeal to their compliance team with a medical note. No shortcuts, no hacks, no «quick fix» plugins. Those are scams.

Alternative: Use a Different Device

Install Gamban on a brand-new phone, register with a fresh email, and start fresh. The old device’s block won’t follow you, because the exclusion is tied to the account, not the hardware. This is the fastest way if you’re in a hurry and can afford a spare device.

Final Move

Now that you’ve cleared the barrier, set a new limit, or better yet, turn off the self-exclusion feature entirely if you’re confident you can stay in control. Keep your phone’s lock screen strong, and remember the link for future reference: how to remove Gamban self exclusion.
