Important information on self-help
To self-exclude from all online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain go to www.gamstop.co.uk.
What is Gamstop?
Registering for GAMSTOP blocks you from logging into or setting up online gambling accounts with businesses licensed in Great Britain if you are a UK resident. It is a free service. You can register for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years.
GAMSTOP is an aid to help you manage your use of online gambling websites, but is not a replacement for willpower. Your self-exclusion will be most effective if you do not try to work around the exclusion. You are entirely responsible for any actions you take that circumvent a GAMSTOP self-exclusion.
GAMSTOP may not be effective in circumstances where inaccurate, incomplete and out-of-date information is registered, or where there are differences between the details registered with GAMSTOP and with gambling companies.
Where can I go for support?
It all starts with a chat. Get in touch with a trained Adviser on the National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133 or via Live Chat for free confidential information, advice, and support. Advisers will listen to you, they won’t judge and your conversation is confidential.
They can also give you access to a free Gamban license (software that can prevent you from visiting gambling sites) and they’ll talk you through the benefits of self-excluding with GAMSTOP. View more information here: TalkBanStop.
Alternatively, visit our Support and Advice page for a wider list of support organisations.
What about bookmakers/betting shops?
If you want to self-exclude from a specific venue, take a passport sized photo of yourself to the store and speak to a member of staff about completing a self-exclusion form.
You can also exclude yourself from more than one shop by visiting https://self-exclusion.co.uk/. Read the Terms and Conditions and call 0800 294 2060 to register.
Can I do this for Casinos?
The SENSE program can help you to self-exclude from licensed land-based casinos in England, Scotland and Wales. Visit the Sense self exclusion scheme website.
