GAMSTOP is a free service that allows you to self-exclude from all online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain.
How to register
Visit gamstop.co.uk and complete the registration form. You will need to provide your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, and telephone number. Once registered, your exclusion takes effect within 24 hours.
Duration of exclusion
You can choose to self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. After your chosen period, the exclusion remains in place for an additional period unless you actively request removal — and even then, there is a 7-day cooling-off period before access is restored.
What GAMSTOP covers
GAMSTOP covers all online gambling operators licensed by the UKGC. It does not cover land-based casinos, betting shops, or operators licensed outside Great Britain.
Additional tools
Consider also using your bank's gambling block feature, which prevents payments to gambling operators. Most major UK banks offer this free of charge.
