This site lists casinos that sit outside GAMSTOP. That makes this page more important here than it is on most gambling sites, not less, so it is not going to be a list of platitudes.
Get help now. The National Gambling Helpline is free, confidential and open 24 hours a day on 0808 8020 133, with live chat at gamcare.org.uk. Samaritans is on 116 123 if things are worse than gambling alone.
GAMSTOP at gamstop.co.uk blocks you from every UKGC-licensed online operator for six months, one year or five years, and it cannot be lifted early. Be clear about its limit: GAMSTOP does not reach the operators listed on this site, because they are not UK-licensed. If you need to be blocked from those too, GAMSTOP alone will not do it.
What does cover offshore sites. Gamban (gamban.com) blocks gambling sites and apps across your devices including non-UK ones, and is free if you are registered with GAMSTOP or referred through GamCare. BetBlocker (betblocker.org) is free to everyone. Combine either with your bank's gambling block — every major UK bank has one in its app, and the cooling-off delay before it can be switched off is the part that does the work.
Warning signs worth taking seriously: chasing losses, gambling with money meant for something else, hiding how much you play, borrowing to keep playing, or looking for ways around a block you set yourself. That last one is specific to this site's subject and it is the clearest signal on the list.
Further support. Gordon Moody runs residential treatment for severe gambling harm. GamAnon supports families and friends. Citizens Advice can help with the debt side.
If gambling has stopped being entertainment, stop and call 0808 8020 133.
