• All licensed gambling businesses - arcades, betting shops, bingo halls, casinos and online betting sites - have their own arrangements to help those who decide to self-exclude. You can ask the staff in a venue to do this for you, or you can arrange exclusion from multiple gambling venues or sites through ‘multi-operator self-exclusion schemes’.

Launching a new subscription-free service, BetBlocker has developed a new mobile feature which allows punters to restrict gambling-related apps on Android devices and desktops.

The tool comes as a new bid to support punters that have experienced gambling related harm. Users are able to restrict their devices from accessing over 5,900 gambling operator websites, and over 1,000 mobile applications.

Manager of BetBlocker, Duncan Garvie, praised the launch of the new feature. He commented: “With more and more people accessing gambling via their mobile devices it is more important than ever that there is a resource available for those who feel that gambling is getting on top of them to take action to help themselves limit their exposure to this addictive activity.

“Restricting gambling apps further improves our service for Android users, limiting one more avenue of access.”

Set to utilise an ‘exact match’ system, the app’s developers have launched a system which only restricts sites that are confirmed to be related to a gambling url, as opposed to a keyword frequency system which may result in ‘false negative/positive’ pages.

It is hoped that users will be able to report sites and apps that have not been restricted by the app’s system.

When opting into the Gambling Self Restriction tool, users can choose their own restriction length, anywhere from 24 hours to 5 years. Once activated the user will not be able to deactivate the restriction until the full selected restriction period has concluded.

Users can also choose to include gambling information sites in their restriction, to ensure that they are not exposed to advertising for gambling or other sites that might challenge their self-control.

Garvie added: “Having managed thousands of disputes for ThePOGG.com I’ve come into contact with a large number of users who were in desperate situations. Often what we could do to help them as an Alternative Dispute Resolution service has been limited and we wanted to offer something that could genuinely make a difference to those people who came to us.

“We looked referring these users to other services that charged subscription fees, but I was never comfortable with the economics of this model. BetBlocker was born of this discomfort.

“It is intended to be entirely free to users, without upfront fees, advertising and restricting data collection to only that which is used to assist our users with technical issues and improve the service.”

What is self-exclusion?

Self-exclusion means asking a gambling provider to exclude you from gambling with them for a length of time, usually between six and twelve months but this can be for up to five years for online gambling. All gambling providers in Britain must provide consumers with this option, allowing any customer who has followed the procedure to request self-exclusion to be refused service and prevented from gambling during this time period.

Please then consider also calling the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 who can offer you free, confidential advice and counselling as our experience is that self-exclusion can be helpful but will be more effective if you also give us a call.

How the schemes work:

• You will have to supply proof of identity including a photo
• You will be removed from all marketing databases and you will not be contacted during the period of your self-exclusion
• You cannot leave the scheme before the exclusion period has expired
• If you leave the scheme once the self-exclusion period has expired you will not be automatically added to any marketing databases.

By joining self-exclusion schemes you are agreeing that:

• the information you provide to join a scheme will only be shared with operators within the specific scheme
• you will stay away from the venues from which you have self-excluded.

It is up to you to keep to your self-exclusion agreement but the company and the staff will do all they reasonably can to help you. If you visit a venue from which you have self-excluded you will be asked to leave and the other venues in the scheme will be informed.

How to self-exclude

You can self-exclude from either each separate company you might gamble with, or from multiple companies at the same time.

To self-exclude from a particular venue, ask the staff there for details. Online, look for the 'Responsible Gambling' or “Safer Gambling” section of the website, or the help section.

To self-exclude from more than one venue or website at the same time, use the 'multi-operator' schemes listed below for each of the types of gambling you want help avoiding.

Online gambling

If you would like to self-exclude from online gambling you can visit GAMSTOP which now enables UK and NI residents to exclude themselves from all gambling sites licensed to operate in Great Britain for free, for a period of 6 months, 1 year or 5 years.

All online gambling websites must provide a facility for you to self-exclude from that company. This can usually be found in the 'Responsible Gambling' or “Safer Gambling” section of their website, or through your personal account page. Call the customer services number on the website, or email them if you need help with this.

Arcades and Adult Gaming Centres

You can nominate from a single arcade or select a number of arcades you wish to self-exclude from. Just ask any member of staff for help in doing so. This cannot be done online but for further details, click here.
