Responsible Gambling

Responsible Gambling

GamStop blocks every British-licensed operator at once, but it has no link to casinos licensed elsewhere. A non GamStop casino never checks the register, so a self-exclusion set up with GamStop won't stop you registering at one of these sites. If you want to restrict your own access to a specific casino not on GamStop, you need to use that operator's own self-exclusion tools directly.

Tools That Still Work

Every account-level tool below is set inside the casino itself, one site at a time:

  • Deposit limits, set per day, week or month
  • Loss limits that stop play once a set amount is gone
  • Session time limits and reality checks
  • Cooling-off periods for a short break without full self-exclusion

Because GamStop doesn't reach offshore sites, device-level blocking fills that gap instead. Gamban, GamBlock and BetBlocker all block gambling sites directly on your phone or computer, regardless of where the operator is licensed. Many UK banks also let you switch off gambling payments from within their banking app.

Setting Limits Before You Play

Set a deposit limit as soon as you open an account, not after a difficult session. A free spins or no deposit offer can still feel low-risk, but it forms part of real-money play once wagering requirements apply, so the same limits are worth setting regardless of how you got started.

Where to Get Support

GamCare and BeGambleAware both offer free, confidential advice and support, including if your play at a site covered on our non GamStop casinos guide is starting to feel out of hand. If you joined GamStop because gambling had become a problem, these offshore sites aren't for you, and reaching out for support is a better next step than signing up somewhere new.

For anything else about the site, our Contact Us page has the details, and our About Us page explains who puts this content together.

All gambling activity on sites covered by this guide is strictly for players aged 18 and over.
