How GAMSTOP and limits work in practice
GAMSTOP
GAMSTOP is a free scheme run so that a person in Great Britain can self-exclude from online gambling with UKGC-licensed operators in one request. You choose six months, one year or five years. You apply on gamstop.co.uk, not on Jackpot Quarter House.
- 01Create a GAMSTOP request with details that match your gambling accounts.
- 02Wait for the exclusion to take effect — it is not always immediate on every brand.
- 03Operators licensed in Great Britain should block new accounts and logins that match. It will not cover every site in the world.
Tools on the operator
Before you need a full exclusion, UK-licensed casinos must offer deposit limits, time-outs and reality checks. On a phone, look in the account or responsible-gambling menu. If those controls are buried, that is part of why a product scores poorly in our mobile grades.
- Deposit limit — a ceiling you set, preferably before the first session.
- Time-out — a short break (24 hours to several weeks) with that operator.
- Reality check — on-screen reminders of elapsed time.
What they do not do
GAMSTOP does not pay your bills, close a dispute, or block unlicensed websites. Operator limits do not move with you to a different brand unless you set them there too. For advice, use GamCare or GambleAware. This comparison site cannot activate GAMSTOP on your behalf.
