TalkBanStop is a partnership that combines practical tools with support to help you to stop gambling and kick-start your recovery journey.
GamCare: Speak with a trained Adviser for information, advice, and support. Gamban: Block your devices from accessing gambling websites and apps for free. GamStop: Register to self-exclude from all UK gambling apps and websites for free.
Personal help from GamCare's professional advisers, free access to Gamban blocking software that may be installed on many devices and signposting to the GamStop free self-exclusion scheme are all part of this package.
The awareness of the campaign has increased among those who need it the most, with knowledge of the free tools and support being especially strong among individuals whose gambling is considered problematic.
The study revealed that the layered approach put people who wanted to stop gambling in a good mood. What's more, those polled said having the option to use multiple tools changed their perceptions of gambling sites, viewing them as significant roadblocks to visiting betting sites and, as a result, reducing their desire to gamble.
