So basically, gamstop does nothing to help except for putting the casinos in a win/win situation. Where they can accept endless deposits, but then say 'you are excluded' when a win happens. Its vile. Just more loopholes for them.

I do accept that its partly my fault of course. But really really hate how its made out to be help for problem gamblers when if anything, its just made things wors and given casinos even more scope to exploit people. Ontop of this, its part pf gamstops T&Cs that 'you will not attempt to log into existing accounts, nor make new accounts'...like..if it was that easy for problem gamblers, they would not need something like gamstop to start with?! Stupid stupid term which makes me rage a lot when its quoted by casinos wile they are denying me winnings whilst also keeping deposits.

That's disgusting. Surely that's illegal.

Then again "surely that's illegal" seems to be the response to anything related to this industry, including their employment terms. Seems they get away with murder through loopholes.
