Three years ago , I took a decision to self-exclude and embrace Gamstop Now, the GAMSTop and SE restrictions have been lifted and the option to gamble is there having had to field cooling off periods and a ton of questions from the relevant teams. Coral and William Hill have graciously allowed me to re-enter, albeit with strict constraints. A monthly deposit limit of £600 and a loss limit of £150 . Now I know that this may seem generous to some, but for someone like me, accustomed to higher stakes, it feels confining to the point where it seems pointless given I have quite a high salary.

I understand the reasoning behind these limits – they’re meant to protect individuals from falling back into harmful habits. Yet, I can't help but wonder if this is a permanent stain that Gamstop association and SE. They have said that there is an option to increase limits by providing proof of income but wondering of anyone has experience of this? To my fellow forum members who have navigated similar watersHave you encountered similar restrictions upon returning to gambling after self-exclusion? How likely is it that these limitations will persist, despite efforts to demonstrate responsible behaviour and financial stability.
 
They've got a collaborative system to protect those "crazy" gamblers now, called GamProtect. And it's already live across the four largest operators.

From what i understand, it's something that allows casinos to share their customers' non-private info with each other. And at the moment it's voluntary but can become mandatory in the future.

And will soon incorporate Government issued Digital ID, followed by the new Central Bank Digital Currency followed by your social credit score.....Can we see the road we're heading into quickly? Agenda 2030.

... and has been for nearly 18 months. The program started in April 2023 with Flutter, Entain, Bet365 and WH.

The more relevant news here is that two new groups joined in August 2024 - Broadway Gaming and Betway.

- the "closing operator" will forward personal details to the register - including name, address, date of birth, email and phone number.

This will be for a minimum of five years, they can request an opt-out at any point after that but the default situation is that they remain on the "optional" register (they call it the "further active period") for a further 35 years.

You're as always precise :D

A bot gave a quite OK summary, so I'll drop it here in case people want to know the difference between Gamstop and GamProtect.

A full control over what we have in bank accounts surely comes at some point...

Maybe I'm mad, or just have some moments from ski fi movies in my mind lol, but i think - all goes to something like a single gadget, chip, card, or whatever they name it - where ALL info about a citizen will be stored. And if one breaks some rules, they'll get limited to something through this system.

I think the bot has confused two principles here...

The data sharing is operator-led, as an alternative to the rejected Single Customer View idea (which would have applied to all customers and absolutely in no way would have been abused to find winning players first and problem gamblers second). The marketing is different, but it's absolutely a (narrower, for now) self-exclusion program.

The exclusion behaviour is similar - similar personal details are registered, initially applies for 5 years.
 
Restrictions after self-exclusion, as in your case, are a common practice to protect players. I think it is possible to increase the limits if you provide proof of income, but the process can take time.
