GamStop registrations reach 38,000 

GamStop, the yet-to-be officially launched UK-wide gambling self-exclusion scheme has received 38,000 registrations in the past six months.

GamStop is free of charge to the public and enables self-exclusion from all online gambling websites with a single registration for periods beginning at six months and extending to five years.  In addition the site links to GamCare and the National Debtline.

“We are very pleased with the response to GamStop so far as the initial uptake proves there is clearly a need for this scheme,” GamStop chief executive Fiona Palmer said.

“We will shortly be embarking on our first phase of evaluation which will help shape future improvements and enhancements to the service going forward.”
