Gambling operators check with us when anyone tries to use an online gambling account If you try to gamble during that time, the gambling business should take reasonable steps to prevent you from doing so in the future. If you try to gamble during that time, the gambling business must take reasonable steps to stop you. I made a error here because I didnt realise at the time in doing this it also closed my online poker accounts which prevented me from playing online. Once you are registered, it is important that you keep your details up to date, for example, if you move to a new house, change your last name or get a new email address. Self-exclusion is when you ask a gambling business to stop you from gambling with them for a certain length of time.

I’m sure it would raise suspicions with the casino for starters and you’ll have additional verification checks considering the amount you’re trying to withdraw is so big too. You changed both your name and DOB there’s just no way the casino would believe that both of these mistakes were accidental. Opened new gaming account with slightly different details to circumvent Gamstop, deposited £140 and span it up to over £350k and then back down to £250k odd, I need to verify my ID to withdraw but my ID doesnt match the details I used to sign up. Thing is I cannot verify as my ID is different from the details I used to sign up with as I changed the them in order to sign up. I deposited £140 using my own debit card registered to my address and went to go to their poker tab but they didnt offer poker, at all, not even as a network affiliate. I called them, giving them the error & they said they couldnt open an account as when you click “Register” it does a auto check against the Gamstop database to check if you are on there as self excluded, which being drunk I totally forgot.

About Gamstop Online

I then in my infinite wisdom done something I never do, I clicked on the slot window and played a slot game. I DO NOT PLAY live casino house games due to odds being in  favour of the house and variance, even if playing a live poker tourney at a live casino. Played in various UK comps on the circuit predominantly tourneys and rarely cash due to variance with decent success across online/live play. ABOUT ME –  I have played both Texas Holdem and Omaha/Omaha Hi/Lo for over 14 years now both online and live in a semi professional capacity. I agree that my contact data may be used to keep me informed about casino and sports betting products, services, and offerings. The TalkBanStop campaign offers three free tools to help people stop gambling.

These schemes allow you to make a single request to self-exclude from the same type of land-based gambling within your area. You can choose to self-exclude via a multi-operator self-exclusion scheme. You enter into a formal agreement not to gamble, and it is up to you to stick to your self-exclusion.

• I will preface explaining the problem I have where I need advice by saying I know this might be a controversial post.
• BACKGROUND – Last March (2018) after winning 1 poker tourney on Stars and placing in several others I decided to have a few beers, I mean a good few that I wasnt compus mentus.
• This is the information we’ll use to let gambling website operators know whether you have chosen to block yourself from their services.
• As your admin cocopop am happy to PM you screen grabs of proof so you can verify to other members this is not a wind up or billy bull post
• All gambling businesses must participate in this scheme.

Even then, there’s stories casino sites not on gamstop of issues in coming off it. As such, I imagine they’re less likely to take a flimsy excuse for the different details. The only explanation you can give is that you changed these due to the GS registration. But not both and I suspect you changed them both quite a bit did you? However, I don’t think you have a hope in hell in getting your winnings. First of all you must be the luckiest man in the world to win two massive jackpots like this so well done on that.

Register

It is the responsibility of the gambling business to put procedures in place to prevent this from happening. You can take active steps to remove yourself from gambling whether online or in a premises. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. You can post now and register later.

There can be many benefits to taking a break from gambling. Your exclusion stays in place after the end of the period you’ve chosen unless you choose to remove it by contacting us. You will need to give us some personal details to confirm your identity. You can also choose to have your exclusion renew automatically so you do not have to think about it again. We are unable to provide refunds for any money you have spent gambling.

You will be blocked from gambling with all online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or 5 years with auto-renewal. You are responsible for any actions you take designed to get around any self-exclusion registered with GAMSTOP. It is your responsibility to ensure that the details gambling held about you are correct and up to date.

Is your account still frozen or have to taken any steps with the casino? 1/ No, there is no way you could be de-registered from Gamstop. As your admin cocopop am happy to PM you screen grabs of proof so you can verify to other members this is not a wind up or billy bull post As for making a withdrawal as yet, nope, they froze my account after 72hrs asking for ID verification, freezing deposit, withdrawal and also playing with the funds. With regards to the slightly amended name and totally different DOB, this I thought would be the biggest issue when submitting my real ID & telling them that I entered them wrong on sign up & they’d likely close my account confiscating the balance using this as their reason. Thanks first of all cocopop3011 for allowing my post, I see you are an admin.

I hit a feature not long afterand while in that feature picked up the 3 sickle symbols that brought me through to a jackpot round where I could win the Main (think £1.6 million) silver (think £180k) or bronze (£65k) or red (£3000 odd) jackpots. I played and hit a bonus or feature here and there and the £200 was gone. I was still down a bit from my drunken play but thankfully nowhere near as much as I was before that hand or if I lost it. I was calling/raising in stupid situations and before long out of the tourneys and down massively from my cash play at one point but thanks to a donk shove to bully/force a fold to claim the pot, I was called and hit a miracle river that I scooped the lot and left the table.

Because your privacy is important, you can choose who you tell that you have registered with Gamstop. Gamstop Online blocks you from signing up for or using online accounts with gambling companies licensed in Great Britain. The gambling business must close your account and return any money in your account to you. Perhaps but, putting my risk hat on, if I have someone who’s been on GS and then wants to play again then, give the big RG issues, I would be debating about whether to offer the services to them. The other thing with Gamstop is that you may find that many casinos refuse to do business with you, even if you’re off the register/time elapsed. 2/ Even if there wasn’t the Gamstop  issue, you confirmed ‘slight change’ of your registration data which most online casinos could and most probably will use against you /blatant violation of Terms, etc/, especially against someone who has just won hundreds of thousands…

There may be occasions where customers who have self-excluded are able to gamble. It must also remove your name and details from any marketing databases it uses. We have also created guidance to help you limit the amount of gambling related content you see on social media. You could consider software which blocks your access to gambling websites. GAMSTOP ONLINE allows you to self-exclude from online operators with one request.

It is for those who wish to be supported to stop gambling. Self-exclusion is a tool used by those who have recognised that their gambling is harmful to them. I know one guy who is struggling to get many of his accounts open after its expired. Please check their Terms for reference, it’s clearly and unambiguously written there your SE is irreversible until the agreed period is over. The company forum moderator, as well as their official CS twitter account replied that yes they can do this while their ID is being verified, all punters responded thanks it has been sorted/amended in one way or another. Yes lucky to win two big jackpots but stupid on the first one.
