How to register with GAMSTOP, how long exclusion lasts and what it covers.
What GAMSTOP is
GAMSTOP is the free national online self-exclusion scheme for Great Britain. Once registered, you are blocked from every UKGC-licensed gambling website and app for the period you choose.
How to register
Sign up at gamstop.co.uk with your name, date of birth, email, postcode and phone number, then pick an exclusion period of 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. It usually takes effect within 24 hours.
What it doesn't cover
GAMSTOP covers online operators licensed by the UKGC. For land-based venues use venue self-exclusion, and consider blocking software and your bank's gambling block for extra protection.
