Gamstop is a UK-run scheme that aims to protect people who show signs of problem behaviour. It started back in 2016 and builds on previous self-exclusion options offered by casinos.
Gamstop saw a 21% rise in applications from players wishing to exclude themselves from gambling. The problem with players creating casino accounts during the holidays is that they may not be doing it for the right reasons. Gamstop prevents people with a gambling problem from continuing with their habit. According to Gamstop's own stats, nearly a third of all players registered with the service attempted to access gambling games.
Gamstop offers a few exclusion periods for different types of gambling fans. The jump between 1 year and 5 years is drastic and can be problematic later down the line.
Gambling sites not on Gamstop are growing in popularity. Many of them will allow UK players to join. The UKGC has banned non-UK casinos from participating in the Gamsto scheme.
Gamstop accepts UK players from non-Gamstops. UK law forbids a brand from offering its services to UK customers from abroad. The gambling industry is worth nearly $60 billion USD. Experts predict it will grow to nearly $100 billion over the next 2 years.
