The number is going up right now. Are you one of them? Are you or do you want to know how to fix it? There are two main forms: GamStop and GamBan. The first is software, and the second is a base set by UKGC. They're not at all the same, but they both want the same thing. We will show you both of them today and compare them so that you can get the easiest answer.

For someone who is addicted to gambling, they can't stop betting or playing casino games. A huge number of people in the UK lose money and even go into debt because they gamble. You can avoid all of this if you only play with money that you can afford to lose. Some players get into a lot of trouble because they don't follow this rule.


UK players are lucky that there are programmes and tools that can help them. GamStop is one of them. All of these sites' main goal is to help gamblers get rid of their problems for good so they can move on with their lives.

UKGC made GamStop a while ago, and it covers all licenced casinos (but only those with a UKGC permit). This also means that there are online casinos that don't have a UKGC permit or another one and they are casinos not on GamStop self-exclusion. GamStop users will make an account and pick how long they want to be banned. Five years is possible. During that time, people in the UK will not be able to get to betting and gaming sites. But a person has time to rest during this time.


That this method works over 85% of the time, is free, and is easy to use are all good things about it. In addition, all players can use this way to get extra help if they need it. GamStop has more than 366 000 people, and that number is still going up. Over 84,000 new users will sign up for the app every year.

GamBan is a file or app. Anyone with any kind of computer can get it. It's not a free way, but you can try it out for free. You just need to get the app and put it on your phone or tablet. Right away, and for the time you chose, you won't be able to use your device for online gaming. Given how hard it is to remove the blocker from the device, we can say that it does work to stop gaming. More than 50,000 people use the method, which works on more than 40.000 sites. Which is great, one of the best things about it is that it covers casinos with and without UKGC licences.
