We have been through those days when not a single thing is going right. But now, these UK players are left with no available UK casino to play at. Is there are solution to this problem?
Luckily, there is a solution, a pretty simple one. To get around GamStop all you need to do is register at an international online casino or gambling site that accepts players from the UK. Of course, under the condition that the site is not registered with GamStop. Let’s get into more detail on the whole GamStop topic.
Since gambling is a big deal in the United Kingdom and a big portion of the population enjoys gambling in one way or another, some players are facing problem gambling. All this lead to rise of different organizations with the one goal of providing help and support for player who have lost control over their gambling habits. One of those is GamStop which is is the UK’s national self-exclusion scheme operated by the non-profit organization called The National Online Self-Exclusion Scheme Limited.
GamStop provides the self-exclusion service for players who want to restrict their gambling habits. All they need to do to manage their gambling, is to register at GamStop. The registration process is pretty simple and takes just a couple of minutes (providing your personal information such as date of birth, postcode, e-mail address).
After the sign-up process, it will take up to 24h hours before the self-exclusion becomes active after which the consumer will be blocked from UK gambling sites for the period of time that the player has chosen while signing up. So the players can self-exclude with GamStop for 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
The UK Gambling Commission which is known for its strict gambling rules and regulations, have come up with a new rule: all UK gambling sites (online casinos, slot sites, bingo sites, betting sites, etc.) must register with GamStop programme. And this is where the problem for the self-excluded players who now wants to play again began. Before, not all UK casinos were registered with GamStop so the players still had sites to play at. But now the story is difference as all UK-licensed online casinos are forced to join GamStop.
