Atlantic Canada safer-play guide
Atlantic Lottery online self-exclusion: the alc.ca tool and support
Atlantic Lottery presents self-exclusion as one of several account tools on alc.ca; its scope should not be assumed to include unrelated gambling sites or venues.

The guide reports verified programme or complaint processes. It does not promise an outcome or turn a complaint into a finding.
Find the control in the official account
Atlantic Lottery's Healthy Play page says a self-exclusion button is always displayed beside the 24-hour break button on logged-in alc.ca pages. Reach the account through the official domain rather than a link in an unexpected message.
Choose a break that matches the need
A 24-hour pause and self-exclusion serve different purposes. Read the current account explanation before confirming either option, including duration, access, marketing, withdrawal and return conditions. Save the confirmation privately.
Do not overstate coverage
The source describes tools on alc.ca. It should not be represented as automatically excluding a person from every casino, video-lottery terminal, privately offered site or gambling service in Atlantic Canada. Verify venue and product programmes separately.
Use activity information as a prompt
The Healthy Play page describes a PlayWise rating and account information such as deposits, withdrawals, time and amount spent. Those tools can prompt a decision, but a rating is not a clinical diagnosis or a guarantee against harm.
Add payment and device barriers
Remove gambling applications and saved payment methods, ask the financial institution about available controls, and protect rent, food and bill money. A trusted person or counsellor can help review gaps without receiving banking passwords.
Provincial support remains available
Atlantic Lottery lists confidential, free help lines for each Atlantic province on its Healthy Play pages. Check the official page for the current number in the reader's province. Immediate danger requires emergency services.

Quick answers
Where is the self-exclusion control?
Atlantic Lottery says it is displayed on logged-in alc.ca pages beside the 24-hour break control.

Do not assume so. The cited source describes alc.ca account tools; verify other products and venues separately.
Is PlayWise a diagnosis?
No. It is account-based safer-play information, not a clinical assessment.
