Where to go

-
GAMSTOP
The National Online Self-Exclusion Scheme
A free national scheme that stops every operator licensed in Great Britain from accepting you as a customer, for six months, one year or five years. Stronger than any filter, because it does not depend on your device settings.

NHS
NHS gambling clinics take self-referrals in most of England. Treatment is free at the point of use and includes support for family members.
-
Gamblers Anonymous Great Britain
Gamblers Anonymous
Peer support meetings, in person and online, across Great Britain. Gam-Anon runs parallel meetings for family and friends.

Free, independent advice on debt, which is often the most urgent consequence and the one a filter does nothing about.

Samaritans
Samaritans
If things feel unbearable. Free to call from any phone, 24 hours a day.
These are never blocked
Every domain on this page is on our never-block list. It is checked before any blocklist, so no list and no configuration can put a filter between someone and a route to help.
We are not a support service
We build a DNS filter. We are not counsellors, we cannot advise on treatment, and our contact form is not monitored out of hours. Please use the helpline rather than waiting for us.
