GAMSTOP is the national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling in the UK. Registering with GAMSTOP excludes you from all UKGC-licensed gambling websites and apps simultaneously — a single registration covers every operator in the UK market.
How GAMSTOP works with casino apps
Once registered with GAMSTOP, all UKGC-licensed operators are required to block your access. This includes mobile apps — you will not be able to log in or create new accounts at any UKGC-licensed casino app for the duration of your exclusion period. The exclusion cannot be reversed until the exclusion period ends, regardless of what you request.
How to register with GAMSTOP
Visit gamstop.co.uk and click Register. You will need your name, date of birth, email address, and UK postcode. The registration process takes approximately 5 minutes. Exclusion periods available: 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. The exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of registration.
Important limitations
GAMSTOP only covers UKGC-licensed operators. It does not cover offshore gambling sites, social casino apps, or operators running under non-UK licences. Self-exclusion via GAMSTOP is most effective when combined with personal commitment and, if needed, professional support.
