Gambling should be entertainment you can afford, never a way to make money or escape stress. MyStake is an offshore casino with no UK deposit cap and no GamStop link, which means the responsibility to set limits sits more heavily on you. This page covers the tools and the help available.
MyStake is not part of GamStop, but that does not make it safe for you to use. If you joined GamStop, keep that protection. Use Gamban or Gamblock to block offshore sites too, and reach out to the support services below.
| Tool | Covers |
|---|---|
| Account deposit / time limits | Your MyStake account settings |
| Gamban / Gamblock | Blocks gambling sites on your devices, including offshore |
| Bank gambling block | Stops card deposits at most UK banks |
| GamStop | Blocks all UK-licensed sites (not offshore) |
If gambling is causing you harm, free and confidential help is available. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, visit BeGambleAware.org, or contact GamCare. These services are independent and do not judge.

Keep that protection. MyStake is offshore and outside GamStop, but it is not safe for you to use. Add Gamban or a bank gambling block and contact support services.
