GAMSTOP is a free self-exclusion service for UK residents that allows individuals to restrict their online gambling activity with all UKGC-licensed operators. Registration prevents access to gambling sites for a chosen period of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
GAMSTOP provides a centralized mechanism for self-exclusion across multiple operators. It is a key responsible gambling tool for those seeking to control or stop their gambling activity in the UK market.
A UK resident registers with GAMSTOP for a 1-year exclusion period. They immediately lose access to all UK-licensed gambling websites and apps. After the period ends, they must actively request to be removed from the register.
