888 shouldn’t have let you sign up in the first place mate it has the Gamstop logo at the bottom of their homepage, Gamstop say it can take up to 24 hours to activate the exclusion but when I signed up it was almost instant. Remember to give Gamstop every last detail e.g. previous address, other emails etc.. As an addict I can say that GS is definitely the way to go, email 888 and tell them you want your deposit back as they would have probably told you to piss off had you won from your deposit, I was successful on 2 occasions in getting my deposit back even though they fucked about big time looking for IBAN and RIB numbers. Good luck Sammy
