Terms & Conditions

Acceptance of terms

Terms of use are usually the page nobody reads, written so they will not be. We tried the opposite and set these out on slotnotongamstop.uk in plain English, so you understand what you are agreeing to when you use the site. If you keep browsing, you accept what follows below.

If anything on this page does not sit right with you, the solution is simple and we take no offence. Just close the tab, because nothing here asks for registration or commitment. Those who stay, stay on the terms set out here.

What this site is

We are an independent information resource about GamStop and self-exclusion, and nothing more. We explain how the scheme works, what it blocks, what it does not, and where support can be found. Everything here serves an informational purpose.

What we are not belongs in the same breath, and we would rather be explicit. We do not operate gambling, accept bets, open accounts, take deposits or pay out winnings. We hold no gambling licence, in the UK or elsewhere, because the activity we carry out needs none.

Using the site

Access is free and open, with no registration and no obligation on your part. In return we expect ordinary use, meaning reading, consulting and sharing what you find useful. Quoting with attribution is welcome, something we thank you for rather than forbid.

There are limits that apply to every visitor nonetheless:

• Do not copy the content wholesale to republish it as your own work
• Do not deploy automated tools that burden the server or scrape the site en masse
• Do not attempt to reach restricted areas, bypass protections, or disrupt how the site runs
• Do not use our name or content in a way that implies a partnership that does not exist

Anyone who ignores these can lose access and, depending on severity, face the legal consequences. These rules clearly are not aimed at the ordinary reader, who will never come near any of them. They exist for the rare case where someone decides to take advantage.

Limits of the information

We check what we publish and correct it as soon as we notice an error, but we do not guarantee lasting accuracy. Rules, services and support details change without notice to us. A fact that was correct on the day of writing may be out of date weeks later.

So always confirm the current position with the primary source, whether that is GamStop, the UK Gambling Commission or a named charity. The information on this site is a starting point, not a substitute for the official guidance. What those bodies publish is what holds.

No encouragement to gamble

This site exists to explain self-exclusion, not to send anyone toward gambling, and that shapes everything on it. We do not list, link to, or recommend casinos, and least of all operators that sit outside UK licensing. Nothing here should be read as a suggestion to gamble or to work around a block you have set.

If you have registered with GamStop, that decision was yours to make and deserves to stand. We will not help anyone reverse it early or route around it, because doing so would work against the very people this site is meant to help. On that point we do not bend.

Legality and age

In Great Britain, gambling operators require a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, and self-exclusion through GamStop applies across every operator that holds one. This site sits alongside that framework as information, not as a gambling service. It is for you to understand your own position under the law.

The content is aimed exclusively at those aged 18 and over. We do not address minors, and we do not permit the material to be used to draw them in. If you are under 18, the site is not intended for you.

Liability

We provide information, and any decision you take from it is your own. We are not liable for losses from gambling, for decisions made on the basis of what you read here, or for disputes between you and an operator. Those are resolved with the operator concerned and, where needed, with the relevant authority.

We also do not guarantee the site is always reachable or free of technical faults. We do what we can to keep everything running, but maintenance and hosting issues happen. None of those interruptions gives rise to any claim.

Changes and contact

These terms can change when the applicable rules or the site itself change. The version on this page is the one in force, so it is worth a look now and then. Continuing to use the site after a change means accepting the version in force.

English law applies, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute. Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page. Serious questions get an answer, even the uncomfortable ones.
