Ever tried taking a short break by using GamStop in the UK? Say goodbye to Bet365, BetFair, Pokerstars, etc. It’s the biggest, most disgusting red herring in the industry. The worst mistake you can make is to use responsible gambling tools at any casino, UK regulated or not.

Might as well just write a letter to head office entitled “I have a massive gambling problem!”

By using the exclusion tools, you’re admitting to being a problem gambler and they will refuse your business, regardless of whether you asked for 6 days or 6 years. When it’s time to be audited, you serve as a free example of how they cared about your welfare and did the “right thing”.

See it as a lesson learned. Never use responsible gambling tools, they’re a red herring.

Just farmed one on 50p
It took 3 hours and 50 minutes to reach max.
I was down £274 when I reached max.

Was going to finish this post with the Gigajar numbers but I’ve given up after 6 hours of total playtime and a total loss of £500.

Fucking disgusting. Daylight robbery.

Having used Gamstop in the past, I can wholeheartedly say that it was a huge mistake. Many casinos, including the big ones, will permanently close your account when you sign up.

“Consider using Gamstop to take a break from online gambling”, they say.

“Oh, you’ve been on Gamstop? You can never use our casino again.”, many also say.

These policies actively discourage users from using the tool, myself included. I will never use it again to take a break from gambling.

Going by that screenshot, it’s centrifugal force, you clown!

I’ve been a weekly viewer since the early days, I’ll share my opinion with respect and honesty.

Honestly, the tone of recent content does feel different. I can’t put my finger on why. I don’t think it’s because the stakes have become unrelatable, I think it’s more to do with your attitude towards the money involved. You’re now in a financial position where it doesn’t really matter if you lose. (You obviously don’t -want- to lose, but if you do drop 10 bags, it’s no big deal.)

I don’t think that sharing partial affiliate numbers is going to help silence your sceptics, if anything, it’s just going to fan the flames unless you go down the route of complete transparency. We have to assume that you’re turning a sizeable monthly affiliation profit, this isn’t a charity after all. I’m fine with that and happy for you. Not sure why people are getting so wound-up about it, to be honest.

You’ve not crossed any lines with me. If anything, you’ve not even approached several lines which would blatantly score you mega money. I almost emailed you one time asking if you’d ever considered crypto-gambling sites, as they have some of the best games (anonymous, instant payments, provably-fair algorithms and a 1% house edge with some of the best affiliation schemes going.) That’s where I do my gambling now.  If you haven’t and would like to, get in touch, I’ll send you some bitcoin to give one a go.

Off-topic, did I see you doing the fruity round in a pub in Hanley last month? Dude looked just like you, had an entourage!

^ What a bellend. I’m convinced he’s one of those who just likes to pick the opposite side for the sake of argument.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was GamStopped himself and has nothing better to do.
