What is a cooling-off period at a sportsbook?

A cooling-off period is a temporary break from gambling you can request directly with a sportsbook, typically lasting 24 hours to 30 days. Unlike full self-exclusion, it is a shorter-term tool for when you need a pause. During this period your account is suspended and promotional emails stop. You can request one through the responsible gambling section of any licensed app.
