The other way you can self-exclude or ban yourself from the traditional gambling apps is just win too often.

By definition if you use traditional (non-'market') gambling apps and aren't banned by the owners of them then you're statistically a loser or at best neutral over time.

If you were a winner over time they would ban you to stem their own losses. They are legally allowed to do this and do it all the time.

No, if you won all the time they would use you to set odds. You'd be the single most valuable customer they have.

		Reality contradicts you. Some academics found a flaw in odds setting which allowed them to win consistently. Instead of using them to set odds, the gambling site limited their maximum bet to $1.

Good movie plot, perhaps, and some (relatively) ethical old-school brick and mortar sportsbooks work that way but the non-market online gambling apps have an established system that they all follow. They all just use 'lazy odds' compiled algorithmically by outside third-parties like Sportradar, Kambi, Genius Sports, etc and if you show any true ability to beat these odds you just get instantly restricted from betting. Only losers are welcome to remain on the platforms. Gotta keep things maximally extractive.
