GAMSTOP

The UK's national multi-operator self-exclusion scheme. Registering blocks the user from all UKGC-licensed gambling sites for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years.

In detail

A user registers once at gamstop.co.uk with name, date of birth, address and email; the data is matched against every UKGC site at registration and login. Once registered, the user cannot create new accounts or access existing accounts at UKGC operators for the duration. Operators must close existing accounts and refund any unused balance.
