I've taken the drastic step of signing up to GamStop for the full 5 years - only did it for a year or 6 months before, and kept going back - this time I've proved I'm really serious.

Well done for registering for Gamstop

Stopping gambling it not easy and it can be a long journey. Our helpline is open 24/7 and our advisors are available to help you on your journey. We work alongside both Gamstop and Gamban, the blocking software, under the Talk Ban Stop campaign. 

We recommend using both Gamstop and Gamban together to protect yourself from online gambling. One of our advisors would be more than willing to discuss other self exclusion schemes and blocks that would help your recovery from gambling. 

Thank you

Hi Steve,

well done for taking that big step. signing up for the full 5 years shows real commitment, and I’m sure it’ll make a difference. It’s not easy, but you’re showing strength and determination. keep going—you’ve got this!

Hi Steve, 

 

Amazing start, and I know admin have already suggested it but Gamban is amazing as well and it blocks every website from being accessed over many of your devices! I would also recommened MOSES as they can have you banned from bookies etc. as well. I had just the Gamstop ban for my first 5 years, and still found many ways to gamble unfortunately. Having multiple bans in place has certainly helped me this time!

Good luck staying GF.
