Gambling with us is for adults aged 18 or over, and it works best with a budget fixed in advance. A sum you would be comfortable spending on a night out is a sound ceiling; money meant for rent or bills never belongs in a deposit.
Tools on your account
- Deposit limits: you set a ceiling for a period you choose, and deposits stop at it.
- Time-outs: a short pause from play, for as long as you pick.
- Self-exclusion: a longer block on the account that holds until its term ends.
Each tool is available through your account, or our support team can apply it for you in live chat or by e-mail.
Outside GAMSTOP
Our licence comes from Anjouan, and we are not part of GAMSTOP. A GAMSTOP registration therefore does not stop you opening or using an account with us. Anyone who has joined GAMSTOP to stop gambling should treat that decision as covering us too, and our support team will add a matching exclusion on request.
Blocking software
Gamban stops gambling websites and apps from loading on your phone, tablet or computer, and it covers operators outside GAMSTOP too.
Signs to take seriously
- Chasing a loss with a fresh deposit.
- Using money set aside for bills or food.
- Borrowing to gamble, or hiding how much you spend.
- Feeling tense or low when you cannot play.
