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

This looks like a gambling app. So it's not that you can't close it until it's not used. Voluntary exclusion is a mandatory policy required by legislation so a gambling addict can ask a casino to functionally ban them. This app is extra predatory in that they don't allow a permanent ban right away. Their goal is to make it take multiple requests so an addict can relapse and spend more money and it's the addicts fault.

    So the 24 hour and 90 day periods are different? Maybe it's because of the LLM but they're presented as the same thing.

    Ya, they're sequential. So if you have a devastating loss you can't just immediately delete your account, you need to cool down for 24hr before they'll even let you request a full 90 day self exclusion. And finally only after that can you actually delete your account.
