What GAMSTOP Does Not Cover

This matters on a site like this one, so it is said plainly. GAMSTOP blocks operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. None of the casinos listed on this website holds that licence, which means GAMSTOP registration does not block them and a GAMSTOP exclusion will not stop you opening an account.

If you are registered with GAMSTOP, you registered for a reason, and these sites are outside the protection you chose. The tools below are what remains.

Tools Available at These Sites

  • Deposit limits. Daily, weekly or monthly. Increases usually take effect after a delay, decreases immediately. Set one before you need it.
  • Loss and session limits. Caps what you can lose or how long you can stay in a session.
  • Cooling off. A short account lock, typically 24 hours to six weeks.
  • Self exclusion. A longer lock, six months or more, usually irreversible for the period.
  • Disable reverse withdrawal. Ask support directly. It stops you cancelling a payout you have already requested, and it is the most useful setting most players have never heard of. See the reverse withdrawal guide.

Blocking Software

Because self exclusion at individual offshore sites is only as good as your willingness to use it, device level blocking is worth considering: Gamban and BetBlocker, which is free, both block gambling sites across devices including ones outside the UK licensing system.

Signs Worth Taking Seriously

Chasing losses. Gambling with money set aside for something else. Hiding how much or how often. Borrowing to play. Feeling you cannot stop when you planned to. Any of those on its own is worth a call to the helpline above, and it is free and confidential.

Under 18s

Gambling by anyone under 18 is illegal. Every operator listed requires identity verification, and accounts opened with false details are closed with winnings forfeited. If you share a device, consider filtering software such as Net Nanny or FamiSafe.
