    Absolute bullshit isn’t it, I try and not really say how shit it is getting accounts back open because it might put people off doing it (honestly if you feel you need gamstop then don’t hesitate)

    Paddy power and Betfair lifetime banned me, that was particularly nice 🤣🤣

    If I remember rightly, video slots will just let you straight back in, like Mr Krabs they are (I like money!)

    Hopefully you got what you were looking for out of your time gamstopped though matey 👍

    Ive got to say for quitting gambling its fantastic…  and you’re right about videoslots, right back in, i have a £20 limit on there so i cant go crazy…  I guess it gave me 6 months to save some cash and do other things than gamble…   the only ones who did let me back in made sure i have set limits…  I would prefer it if they did 3 months at a time and just reopened accounts straight away but you cant have everything 🙂

    Gamstop is actually decent, it’s there for people with problems, if you fancy just taking a break, then do that via the individual casinos, perhaps setting a £10 weekly or monthly limit… Only go down the Gamstop route when your really done with gambling for good… It’s not overly diffiicult to remove the exlusion, give them a call so they can ask that you will be able to control yourself again, wait for a 24 hour cooling off period (I think it can take up to 7 days, but usually 24 hours and its done), and then some casinos automatically know its lifted and you can log in as normal, but there will be a few casinos that don’t want problematic gamblers back, they dont want to be the centre of attention when a gambler loses their house and goes to the press! So i dont blame them.

    Having used Gamstop in the past, I can wholeheartedly say that it was a huge mistake. Many casinos, including the big ones, will permanently close your account when you sign up.

    “Consider using Gamstop to take a break from online gambling”, they say.

    “Oh, you’ve been on Gamstop? You can never use our casino again.”, many also say.

    These policies actively discourage users from using the tool, myself included. I will never use it again to take a break from gambling.

    GameStop is ok if you give up gambling for good, I had the same problem 2 years ago I join GameStop for 6 months, I still have a problem on many casinos, GameStop keep all are data for next 5 years so casinos and 3rd party can have access, not sure who is the 3rd party they use when you Gamestop runout you have 1 week to contact Gamestop, If you don’t chat with them in 7 days you gamestop will carry on for 7 years

    My option Gamestop for 6m or 1 year is total bullshit,

    sky vegas banned me for life, never had an account on paddy power or Betfair, maybe I should open an account there and tell them I was on Gamestop lol
