I’ve felt more positive today about not gambling.

Best 10 alternatives to non GamStop casinos

Its disgusting but as they are not regulated they can get cas casino slots uk real money away with it. Gamstop is the best for UK regulated sites, but i agree there needs to be something for the non-Gamstop sites. GAMBAN mentioned above seems the way to go, I will have a look into it and may do this myself. Posted : 19th April 2025 1:35 pm Gamban is the best option, but make sure you install it on every device (phones, old phones, tablets, laptops etc), don't leave any door open to get back into gambling. Posted : 19th April 2025 2:50 pm I have BetBlocker but it doesn’t seem to block these type of sites.

Is the RTP different from UK sites?

Thanks again and hopefully we can be free of this awful addiction! Posted : 21st April 2025 8:36 pm Hi Amy I put Gamban on my laptop today and finally realised I can’t gamble on anything now - I had it on my phone a few days ago but now I’m like ok that’s it 🙂 did you download it? I think you were on the chat last night? Posted : 22nd April 2025 7:46 pm Yes I was in the chat last night. I haven’t downloaded gamban yet as I’ve been at work til late but I will do it as soon as I have chance. Posted : 22nd April 2025 10:53 pm I got my 1-2-1 support booked for next week with Gam care and looking forward to it!

Curacao eGaming	Basic	Very Common	Limited
Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)	Moderate	Common	Formal Process
Gibraltar Regulatory Authority	High	Less Common	Robust

I was at work today rather than working from home and that made me feel a lot better 🙂 how are you doing today?

Legality and Safety of Non GamStop Betting in the UK

We have over 10 years of professional photography experience, so we can adapt to a range of styles depending on your preference. However, the common theme in our photography is that we capture the subject’s personality, and breathe life into still images. From booking to the final edit, you can have as much or as little direction regarding how you would like your images to look. We have experts on-hand who will give you advice regarding what looks best. Scheduling a session with us is easy.

Bonuses Are Too Good to Be True

We are open 7 days a week and have availability from 9:30am right through to 4:30pm. I have GameStop in place but I find myself playing on non licenced, non GameStop sites. Does anyone know how I can block these? I have blocks on my bank cards for gambling but these transactions still go through. It’s my own fault for ‘finding a way to get around it’ but I wondered if anyone knows how to block these as when you ask for a ban on the site it only gives you a short ban then allows you to play again.

Prop Bets & Specials

Also, if you ask customer support to unblock you, they do it immediately. Posted : 18th April 2025 10:37 pm hi , if you install GAMBAN it will also block sites that you can still access through GAMSTOP. This is what I did and have checked a few and completely blocks access. Posted : 19th April 2025 12:02 pm I used to gamble with a crypto casino that does this very thing. I lost tens of thousands over a few years with them and after a big loss I would self exclude for 5 years only for them to send me an email saying if you change your mind contact us. Did you get round to download it?🙂 Posted : 23rd April 2025 7:03 pm Keep me posted on how you’re doing though!🙂 Posted : 23rd April 2025 7:22 pm Hi Chan, I am just looking into gamban now. I will do it through gamCare as they offer it for free which is a great incentive. I have abstained for a few days now and feel good. I get paid on Friday but have blocks in place so hopefully no temptation!! Hope you’re ok and doing well. Good to chat tonight in the chat room. It helps knowing that people get this. Posted : 23rd April 2025 8:59 pm Yes, good chat last night for sure! Yes, I got the free version too which was great!

Live dealer tables not subject to UK speed or interaction rules
Slot games may have higher RTP percentages than UKGC-restricted versions
Availability of 'buy bonus' or 'feature buy-in' mechanics on slots
Traditional table games like roulette and blackjack with different rule sets

As soon as I put it on my laptop that was a game changer for me! I am a couple of days too and finding it tricky but everytime I do I log on here and answer a post or read a post and it just keeps me occupied and then the urge leaves!

Offshore betting sites using Curacao or Malta Gaming Authority licences
Cryptocurrency casinos not integrated with the UK's self-exclusion scheme
Sportsbooks with no mandatory deposit limits for UK customers

Posted : 11th February 2026 3:15 pm I was in exactly the same position a few months ago. At the beginning I only had GAMSTOP in place and the gambling block on my bank card, but I still managed to find non-GamStop sites and deposit on them. It felt like every time I tried to close one door, another one opened. What actually helped me was adding another layer of blocks. I installed GamBan on all my devices (phone and laptop), but I also changed my DNS settings to use CleanBrowsing Family Filter. Basically this works at the network level and blocks access to gambling domains before the site even loads, so if you try to open many casino sites they simply won’t resolve or load at all. Posted : 6th March 2026 12:57 pm We are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Posted : 9th November 2020 7:19 pm @jn1234 Did you use the same email address and name as you registered with Gamstop and how quickly after registering did you gamble? Posted : 10th November 2020 9:31 am Yes mate same email same username and I banned it about 2 years ago still allows me to play to this day Posted : 10th November 2020 10:15 am This sounds very frustrating for you, I would suggest you contact GamStop. In the mean time you are welcome to keep using the forum for support and you can also speak to one of our advisers through LiveChat or by calling our HelpLine on 0808 8020 133. Posted : 10th November 2020 11:14 am Maybe check with your exclusion timeframe, just to be sure that you did exclude for the full five years.

Age Group	Primary Motivation	Preferred Game Type
18-24	Higher bonuses, cryptocurrency use	Slots, Crash games
25-40	Bypassing self-exclusion, larger bet limits	Live Casino, Sports betting
41-60	Fewer restrictions, traditional games	Blackjack, Roulette, Bingo
60+	Ease of use, familiarity	Slots, Scratchcards

Hopefully Gamcare will be able to help you but remember it is just a block, it's not an iron clad guarantee to stop every compulsive gambler every time.

I'm sorry for you, even though you're not after sympathy, but there are other blocks that can also help, including the gambling blocks that a lot of banks now offer so you cannot use your card for gambling transactions. Posted : 10th November 2020 4:08 pm self exclude on the individual site problem sorted u think you should put the energy into stopping gambling more than trying to get the money back you gambled when you shouldnt have to many people on here csn think they can sign upto gamstop and try and try to get into a casino to deposit and when they lose they are so mad and want there money back i bet when they win they dont complain gamstop didnt work ?you sound more frustrated you lost your money and was able to do this than you do that you gambled in the first place ?
