If you live in the United Kingdom you may have heard of GamStop. You may also love football. So, what is the link between these two terms? Well, there is a strong link and today we are going to explain it in detail and help you understand the basics. Let’s start from the basics and move our way up with more details and specifics.
What is GamStop?
Obviously, the first thing you need to know is what GamStop is? Basically, this is a self-exclusion provider that cooperates with UKGC. The United Kingdom Gambling Commission controls all the casinos and betting sites in the country. GamStop means that a player can get self-exclusion if he notices any issues with his gambling or betting. If you are worried about developing a gambling addiction, you will create an account at GamStop and activate it. Immediately, all UKGC betting and gambling websites will become unavailable to you. You can’t create a new account, log in to the old one, or do anything similar.
This is known as self-exclusion due to the fact you will do it by yourself. The solution is free and can be used at any given moment by any person. Keep in mind that it works in the United Kingdom only at the moment and there are still many online bookmakers available in the UK that do not work with the GamStop system. But the platform has the goal of expanding the platform to cover many other countries and work with all casinos if possible.
As a user here you can choose how long the self-exclusion is going to last. You can choose 6 months if you like or 5 years. There is no way to cancel the self-exclusion during that time. You must obey it and you will not be allowed to gamble no matter what you do or you want to do.
We must add that once the self-exclusion has expired, you cannot gambol immediately after. You will have to contact customer support and ask them to remove the ban. Once they do, (within 24 hours) you can gamble again. The platform works well and it is one of the best things players can hope for if they start developing any issues or complications. We also liked the success rate of the platform which is impressive or stunning for the lack of a better word.
Football Clubs That Support GamStop
There are a few football clubs in the United Kingdom that have been cooperating with GamStop despite the drawbacks and will continue to do this. Below, we are going to list them and say something you will probably want to know about.

They share the details, specifics, and more about betting, gambling, and how GamStop works. They are also working and promoting additional elements on their social media.
The goal here is to promote GamStop as much as possible and to tell the bettors that they can get help when they need it the most. Bettors like this as well. They now know that they get and have all the help they need when they need it the most. We only hope that the club continues to do this and there will be a lot more promotions in the near future.

An interesting fact here is that the members of the club are taught and are even safeguarded when it comes to obsessive gambling. All of this works and all of this is going to make a difference. We would like to see more clubs cooperating with GamStop and trying to help people who have an addiction or at least who are at risk of developing one.

Many football clubs like Arsenal FC may partner with GamStop program in the near future. We hope to see the improvements any time soon and we hope that this will help people more than you can imagine. GamStop is extremely successful and the platform helped a lot of people.
