Non-GAMSTOP: what it means

Reviewed by our team · Last updated: 14/04/2026

GAMSTOP is the UK's national online self-exclusion scheme. Every UKGC-licensed operator must check the GAMSTOP register before letting a player log in. This page explains, soberly, what playing outside that scheme means and why bypassing an active self-exclusion is never a good idea.

How GAMSTOP works

You register once at gamstop.co.uk for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. Once active, every UKGC-licensed casino, bookmaker, bingo and poker site has to block your account.

Sites outside the UK

Operators licensed in Curaçao, Anjouan or similar jurisdictions are not connected to GAMSTOP. They are not actively marketed in the UK and they do not sit under the same player-protection rules.
