GAMSTOP celebrates Second Annual ‘Self-exclusion Awareness Day'

GAMSTOP's second annual self-exclusion awareness day was held successfully, supported by football clubs from all four divisions of the professional game in England. GAMSTOP, the independent self-exclusion scheme in the UK, has launched the campaign #TakeBackControl2023 in a bid to raise awareness of the service all across social media channels, calling on the support of its partners in the fiel[...]   Read more » GAMSTOP celebrates Second Annual ‘Self-exclusion Awareness Day'

I think that the English government has forced many operators to do things in the right way and this is excellent for players, operators and the government. Everyone has to be happy and that is ok.

For the first time I hear about GAMSTOP and I think it is a perfect app for people who can't control gambling. There are many lives ruined by gambling and having the key to saving yourself is a relief for people who suffer from this and for their loved ones. I think it has to become more popular because it has been around for several years and I have never heard of GAMSTOP.

Ok, this is campaign where they talk on that day more about this and what this can bring to you, but we all know that on all sites we have this options for so many years and that you can do it at any time this! Its up to every player will he do it or not! Its strange to see that they have young players from 16 to 24 and legal is only from 18?!

It is good for such an organisation to exist , although many times I feel that this kind of organisations don't succeed so much in the awareness of younger persons for the gambling . Sometimes they succeed in quite the opposite, the promotion of gambling activities .
In Greece we have kethea , this organisation is for gambling addiction , but also for drug addiction , for heroin addicts . I believe they should have separated these two kinds of addiction , it's not the same thing . Plus they do not do great job in protecting younger ages neither from gambling nor from drugs .......

Self exclusion is most important for underage kids or teens . There should be no discussion on this .

But we should tell the truth about what happens in reality with far too many underage people finding the way to create accounts and play or place a bet . It is not sth uncommon or rare . They can do this with the help of an adult friend or relative , with the use of their parents' credit card . I could see in Greece in the past teens going in sports booking shops , play , pay , and no problem , not even once I hadn't witnessed sb to tell the teen that he was not allowed to play , that it wasn't right ....

Self exclusion is also good when you have gambling problem , when you cannot have self discipline on your betting decisions , when you feel that you are on a permanent tilt for a long time . Then it can help you to stay away for some time , relax , take it easy , come back when you can feel again that you have control , or else you will lose a lot of money

Self exclusion is nice , it can help you move on , go on playing , or else the fun of betting and playing can be ruined . If sb had problems with sports betting , casino or poker , he should exclude himself for some time . For a day , a month , some months , a year . Although there is also the permanent ban , but this choice is not good , i think it has no meaning . I mean you exclude yourself for one month , you get over tilt , you come back . Or you come back after a year . But if you ask permanent ban , you wont be able to come back , that sucks !!!

i had some problems recently with casino slots , i lost control , tried to impose discipline to myself , i failed repeatedly , so i was forced to ask for a ban/exclusion from sports and c asino for some time . I think this was the best decision !!!

poker rooms should give players more options when it comes to self exclusion . they should be able to exclude themselves for a day , or a week or a month or three months . 6 months or even a year . The self exclusion up to a month should not be undone if a player asks for , and this should be done for the players' good
but if a player chooses to self exclude himself for many months but he decides that now he can come back , after a month or so , he should be allowed to return . A month od self exclusion is a good period to relax from tilt , regain control over your betting habits , so poker or casino rooms should allow them to play again

i see B win self exclusion choices . you can choose to self exclude yourself for a day or permantly , but there are no other choices . Thats bad and sad , they should have more choices , self ban for a week or a month or 3 months . if they had such choices i wouldnt have to alert their security team and ask them for help , i could manage by myself this situation , and choose the self exclusion for one month (or even 3 months )
