Self-Exclusion Scheme
Companies offering self-exclusion scheme in the iGaming industry — 1 listed.
Gamstop is the UK’s official multi-operator online self-exclusion scheme, established in April 2018 by the Gambling Commission to help individuals control their gambling behaviour. It offers a free, quick, and easy service that allows users to block themselves from accessing all gambling websites and apps licensed in Great Britain for a chosen period of six months, one year, or five years. Once registered, the block cannot be reversed, ensuring a robust commitment to recovery. Gamstop is operated by the National Online Self-Exclusion Scheme Limited and is mandatory for all GB-licensed online gambling operators. As of May 2025, over 560,000 people have registered. Beyond blocking, Gamstop connects users with additional support organisations such as GamCare and GambleAware, and encourages the use of complementary tools like betting shop exclusion and device blocking software. The scheme is widely regarded as a cornerstone of the UK’s responsible gambling framework, and its impact continues to influence international policy on addiction prevention.
