GAMBLING SELF-EXCLUSION SCHEMES

What you can do to help yourself:
When trying to refrain from gambling activities or trying to stop your gambling escalating and causing you serious harm, there are prevention tools you can put in place to help you do this. Below you will see two schemes that you can use to help you STOP gambling and remove the temptation that may still exist.

GAMBAN

 

Gamban can help remove temptation by blocking your devices from gambling websites and apps, wherever you are in the world. Gamban is easy to install, works across all your devices and is non-intrusive.

Gamban is a helpful tool for tackling gambling addiction. It can help you get back on your feet and give you the time to enjoy the more important things in life.

Downloading & Using Gamban

Installing Gamban is straightforward. It works with all mainstream devices – just follow the link below.

Installing GamBan on your devices.

Once you’ve received a free Gamban licence through GamCare, you have 12 months protection on your devices.

After that 12 months free period, you will then have the option to pay for a Gamban licence for £ 24.99, or  £2.49 per month arrangement.

One Gamban licence allows the user to download our protection on up to 15 devices.

follow the link to see on various devices but the download is pretty straight forward and we are cross compatible with mainstream devices. Once Gamban is downloaded to a device it has been designed to be difficult to remove however not impossible, as we are founded from lived experience we do take a strict stance and do not help users remove our protection upon download.

GAMSTOP- NATIONAL SCHEME:

Gamstop
The national online self-exclusion scheme GAMSTOP, is a not for profit organization initially set up by the Remote Gambling Association [RGA] to design, introduce and run a national online self-exclusion system to meet the aims of the gambling commissions licence conditions and codes of practice [LCCP].

LAND BASED SELF-EXCLUSION SCHEME:

You can use the self-exclusion scheme to ban yourself from either your local bookmaker, or all bookmakers in your local area, known as area exclusion, or all bookmakers nationally. Remember this scheme is for land-based gambling only, so it does not extend to online gambling, for which there are other schemes we have highlighted. See below details of self-exclusion for land-based gambling only:
Ultimately the decision to enter gambling premises or open online accounts, where you have self-excluded, is entirely yours, which is why it is so important you are fully committed to change and want to do something about you gambling issues.
