Gambling businesses are required to have their own self-exclusion arrangements in place. 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. You can choose to self-exclude via a multi-operator self-exclusion scheme. If you try to gamble during that time, the gambling business must take reasonable steps to stop you. You enter into a formal agreement not to gamble, and it is up to you to stick to your self-exclusion. You can take active steps to remove yourself from gambling whether online or in a premises. It is for those who wish to be supported to stop gambling. Self-exclusion is a tool used by those who have recognised that their gambling is harmful to them.
If you think that you are spending too much time or money on gambling, whether online or in gambling premises, then you can ask to be self-excluded.
