Cooling-off periods in responsible gambling are designed to:

Cooling-off periods permanently ban a player from gambling.

Cooling-off periods are used only for advertising opt-outs.

Cooling-off periods are designed to audit betting histories.

Cooling-off periods temporarily pause participation to reduce compulsive behavior.

Cooling-off periods are about giving a temporary break from gambling to help people regain control when urges strike. This pause interrupts the cycle of impulsive betting, giving time to reflect, cool down, and reduce the risk of chasing losses. It’s a harm-reduction tool, not a punishment, and it’s typically temporary, lasting from a short period to several days, and can be self-imposed or offered by an operator.

That’s why this option is the best fit: it directly targets reducing compulsive behavior by creating space away from gambling, rather than being a permanent ban, a tool for advertising opt-outs, or a method for auditing betting histories.
