What GamStop is and how it works
By the CasinoCue editorial team · Reviewed 2026-11-10
GamStop is a free self-exclusion scheme for Great Britain. Once registered, you are blocked from gambling sites and apps run by licensed online operators for the period you choose.
How it works
You register with your personal details and choose a period of six months, one year or five years.
Online operators licensed by the Gambling Commission are required to take part in the scheme.
Other tools
Self-exclusion works best alongside other steps, such as bank gambling blocks and blocking software. GamStop does not cover unlicensed sites.
