Hi all,
I’m new to Gamcare and I’m especially new to seeking help! Does anybody know how long it takes for GAMSTOP to become active? I registered 4th March 1400.
I’m in about 26k worth of debt (used to be about 40k) and make sure I have my debt payments come out on pay day! I have self excluded myself from the betting apps I was signed up to, but really need to get my devices to block then entirely!Â
Also any advice on how to get myself away from the bookies? Just really want to stop now, I’ve had enough!Â

It's relatively quick, around 24 hours I believe. Make sure you have added all your emails and phone numbers on gamstop.
Try to mitigate potential relapse by handing control of money to another, maybe just have a credit card you cannot with draw or deposit for gambling online.
Good luck, it gets better... Day 49 gf for me today.Â
