You can choose to exclude yourself for six months, one year, or five years through GamStop. Once you’ve made your choice, you won’t be able to log in to, or register with, any gambling sites that are part of the scheme. If you try to log in or sign up again using your details, the system will block it automatically.
Is GamStop available for all gambling sites?
GamStop only applies to UK-licensed online gambling companies. Sites that aren’t registered in the UK aren’t covered, so the block won’t apply there.
What happens when my self-exclusion is over?
When your chosen self-exclusion period ends, it won’t lift on its own. You’ll need to contact GamStop to have it removed, and they’ll guide you through their reactivation process.
Once that’s done, you can reach out to any gambling sites you want to return to and ask to have your account reopened.
