But seriously what kind of predatory policy is that in the first place?

By the sound of it, it's them saying if you want your account permanently closed, you have to voluntarily not use it for 91 days, basically giving you a chance to let addiction suck you back in, and thereby preventing people from immediately closing their accounts when they have a moment of clarity or big loss.

Otherwise a lot of people would immediately nuke their accounts when they have a really bad losing streak, and that would be real bad for business.

    I thought it meant you had to opt-in to be blocked for 24 hours, after which you could opt-in to be blocked for 90 days, making it take more manual steps

    That's probably it, that would also explain why it's two seperate exclusion periods.

    So marginally less predatory than letting you keep access to your account and requiring you to not use it for 91 days just through willpower. Only marginally though
