To register at Gamstop is an easy process. It does not have any complications and requires a very few basic details of the user. Though we encourage more information of the user to follow through his/her activity more promptly, it solely depends on the comfort level of the user.

Gamstop also comes with a flexible time period, from 6 months to one year, or five years.

After choosing the desired plan and filling the registration form, the user will be sent an email about the confirmation of registration and some guidelines about the practical tools of the program. Within a time-span of 24 hours, the self-exclusion program will be activated. After the activation the user will officially be restrained from using online gambling websites. It is really important for the user to keep up with the exclusion program as sometimes addresses and phone numbers tend to change.

Users will also not be able to cancel self-exclusion unless and until a minimum period has elapsed. Once the desired exclusion period has elapsed, the user will have to call Gamstop to ask for removal otherwise it remains effective. However, they can learn how to cancel Gamstop all together.

If there is a situation where the user was coerced to register with the program and mistakenly chose the different self-exclusion period, then there are some suggestions for those users.

First step would be to contact the Gamstop committee and fix a meeting where the problem will be discussed. If the user’s case is proved to be legit, his/her membership will be revoked and the ban on gambling websites will be lifted.

Gamstop will not be responsible if any gambling website put the user on blocklist due to the association with the Gamstop.

Moreover, when users register for a period of self-exclusion, their personal data is stored in archives till their chosen exclusion period plus an additional 7 years from the date their last selected minimum exclusion period ended.

We are also committed to the security of user’s personal data. However, if the user gives his/her consent to share information with a certain website, we also make sure that the consented information is being shared.

Consequently, we do not depend on the consent (which may be withdrawn) as our lawful basis to use personal information to manage self-exclusion.
