Take a break from gambling
You can register with Gamstop Online to take a break from gambling for any reason.
Once registered, you’ll be blocked from using any accounts you already have with gambling websites and apps and prevented from creating any new accounts.
This could be helpful if you want to save money or need to focus on other things in your life, like exams or other big life events.
"Gamstop is a vital tool in allowing you to have breathing space."

Why Dylan took a break
I was gambling every day on football matches I didn’t even care about. My friend said “I’m Gamstopping”, so I did it too – there’s better things to spend my money on.
How taking a break helps
We know from talking to people who have registered with Gamstop that it can help boost their willpower. Even if you don’t have a gambling problem, gambling apps can be distracting – and tempting when you’re bored or stressed.
Gamstop puts a barrier between you and gambling, so you can save money and get back time to use for:
- Quality time with friends and family
- Exercise
- Work
- Study
How it works
Gamstop Online blocks you from signing up for or using accounts with online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain.
You can choose how long to block yourself from gambling. The shortest period you can choose is 6 months. The longest is 5 years and you can also choose to have your block renew automatically.
