The Gambling Commission has today announced that all online gambling operators must participate in the multi-operator self-exclusion scheme GAMSTOP. GAMSTOP allows you to self-exclude from online operators with one request. These schemes allow you to make a single request to self-exclude from the same type of land-based gambling within your area.<\/p>\n
This also includes additional online protections and restrictions to play-for-free games, a tightening of rules around gambling advertising, improvements to guidance for the data operators must provide to consumers, and updated guidance in relation to identifying markers of harm. The scheme that has been developed for the online sector will allow consumers to self-exclude from online operators with one request rather than from each operator individually. With over 200 online operators this will make access to self-exclusion much simpler for those who wish to be prevented from online gambling.<\/p>\n

If you want to complain about a gambling business or need further help please contact us. We are not able to respond to comments but your feedback will help us improve our website. It is your responsibility to ensure that the details gambling held about you are correct and up to date. They must also update their lists of self-excluded consumers every 24 hours. It’s used when you think that you have a problem with gambling and want help to stop. Self-exclusion is when you ask a gambling business to stop you from gambling with them for a certain length of time.<\/p>\n
