GAMSTOP, the UK national self-exclusion system pioneered by the Remote Gaming Association and the UK Gambling Commission, is now live with a number of major UK-licensed online gambling groups, including Ladbrokes and Paddy Power Betfair.
‘
Forum reports from players who have tested the system indicate that it is fast, easy to use and effective. There is a free helpline open from 8 am to midnight for registration issues and extensions of existing exclusions, accessible here: 0800 138 6518.
Players can exclude for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. Whilst the majority of major UK operators have joined the scheme, some are in the process of participating, as by the end of 2018 it will be compulsory under UKGC rules.
The national gambling helpline also provides free support until midnight daily for those needing confidential advice, information and emotional support: 0808 8020 133.
The RGA has opened a dedicated GAMSTOP office to deal with any enquiries, and the team can be reached on 01423 790354 or via e-mail to Fiona Palmer (fpalmer@gamstop.co.uk ) or Katie Reynolds-Jones ( KReynolds@gamstop.co.uk ) directly.
