[Green2711 WANTED $492 Outlaw]

Hey guys, long time no see!

I’ve not been around these parts much as I’ve been trying to keep myself busy while I was self excluded and have been doing a lot of gaming to preoccupy myself.

I signed up for gamstop 6 months ago and on the 15th my ban will end. I’ve decided to have a little flutter over Xmas playing some poker before signing back up to gamstop.

So I’m just wondering do you receive an email when your ban is up? Do I need to do anything to get the ban lifted or is it automatic?

And finally, what process do I have to go through to sign back up to gamstop? Is it as simple as the first time?

Ah christ, that’s going to be a problem, need my passport renewing! I just hope I don’t have to go through verification again since I haven’t played for 6 months..

I have indeed matey, been smashing it.. Level 52 Warlock now which has taken me over 3 weeks haha. I rolled on a PvP realm so I’ve been getting ganked none stop by horde scum but still grinding it out!

How much does game pass cost mate? I wouldn’t mind reaching celebrity status by being on one of your streams (until people see how bad I am haha).

Hiya green hope your well mate. I came off gamstop in may and in all honesty it’s not that straight forward. Firstly i had to ring them to take it off which takes 24 hours to disable. Second when i did try to deposit i had to go through vigorous chats in live chat with casumo before they would re open my account. Signing back up was a nightmare. Photo id passport proof of address and all the rest of it. Tbh i nearly gave up signing back up but i did for a year and I’m glad i did.

Cheers Haz and likewise!

Well that’s a bit shit, my passport expired 6 months ago and I haven’t bothered renewing it yet. I was playing at that casino that’s not on gamstop which I won’t name but back then my passport had expired a week before I sent it off without my realising.. I was told to send a photo of my birth certificate instead and they verified me, think a site like casumo would accept that if they do verify me?

Bit of a joke having to reverify after already doing so even if signed up to gamstop.

That’s a cracking offer, Seedy. I’ll check it out and check out the games they have to offer when I get home from work, cheers mate. ?

[Haz40 WANTED $1,166 Outlaw]

Ah maybe different then cos when i originally signed up to gamstop i didn’t submit and docs or id but when i wanted to re sign up that was when they asked for all the docs. I got loads of questions from sites such as ” Do you think your gambling is under control ” and such like. 21 casino took a week to review my account before they let me play again. You know my advice mate just be careful if you do start playing online again especially this time of year.

Merry xmas seedy ???????

[Winningbird WANTED $574 Outlaw]

It’s a right pain in the arse from what I remember. You have to print and sign shit, fill forms out, and then you inform them you want it removing, then a cool off period (maybe 24 hours) and then the casino can start you on a cool off period before reopening the account. Could be wrong as it was a while ago I did it. 🙂

Ah well I guess this proves Gamstop works then because I can’t be arsed going through it for one session, too much hassle. 😛

I second this completely. I remember making a topic when i signed back up in March warning people who were thinking of coming off just how difficult it is to rejoin afterwards.

For something that is so easy to join the first time around they make it extremely lengthy to sign back up once you come off. So much so that i even signed up for the full 5 years just to make all the faffing around worthwhile.

They say its to fully ensure that it is you that is wanting to rejoin and not someone doing it on your behalf. But i guess like in my case for something that has been a complete god send it was always going to be worth the extra requirements.

When i did come off for my short return i remember all of the sites that i had accounts with wouldnt let me play again right away after the 24 hours passed and every one of them i had to contact live support who then contacted gamstop themselves to ensure i had lifted the ban, some sites although i cant remember exactly who wouldnt even let me re open the account. Fortunately for me sky bet did after they completed their checks and i was able to get my bets on for cheltenham before rejoining again.

If you are only wanting a temporary play and are serious about rejoining and prepared to go through all of the hassle to get back on afterwards then I’d say fire away, and i hope you get some nice wins over the time of play, thats what i done. But if you feel you may not have all docs theyre going to require and/ or wont be prepared to go through all the steps to sign back up then id seriously consider if the christmas play would be worth potentially jepodising your chances of controlling future gambling. Gamstop is an amazing tool and at the moment you have full use of it, the last thing you want to do is lose that tool by not having sufficient docs to be able to rejoin. 🙂

You’re right mate, I only wanted a little flutter I’ve left myself enough or a budget for a £50-75 deposit after paying off bills and sorting out christmas and the rest has gone into a savings account that I can’t withdraw from, If I had the money available I’d no doubt keep depositing until I’m skint since I lack self control. Its just not worth the hassle, I’ll be renewing my passport soon but I’d rather not have to jump through hoops to resign up because I’d end up in the same routine as I was in 6 months ago and really can’t be doing with that. Nice to log in to my bank account now adays and it’s not all gloom and doom. 🙂

Ah well guess I’ll just watch The Bandits Christmas special instead, I’m hoping for a mental one, Steve! Perhaps a bit of paint this Christmas? ?

[Seedy WANTED $1,243 Sheriff]

I heard someone mention paint…… you around tonight green? You looked into the xbox app for pc? Can get you in party chat from there I believe ???

[Green2711 WANTED $492 Outlaw]
