Gambling Support and Self-Exclusion in Britain

Betting shops need their own exclusion, because GAMSTOP stops online accounts only. Gamstop Betting Shops, the telephone service once known as MOSES, takes requests on 0800 294 2060 for the land-based bookmakers you use or might try, and the exclusion runs for a fixed 12 months before you can ask to return. Online, the free GAMSTOP registration covers coral.co.uk together with the other LC International brands.

GamCare's National Gambling Helpline takes calls on 0808 8020 133 without charge, whatever the hour, plus WhatsApp messages on 020 3031 8881. In England, an NHS gambling clinic accepts self-referrals, or a GP can refer you.

A daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit, set in the account settings before the first deposit, is the simplest brake of all. Coral, like every British-licensed operator, turns away anyone under 18.
