$5,000 Welcome Bonus
The national gambling self-exclusion scheme GamStop has expanded its network creating solid partnerships to increase its global connections. The independent self-exclusion scheme has, recently, agreed to new cooperation with the English professional football club, Queens Park Rangers (QPR).
This collaboration will raise awareness of the GamStop tool available to those wishing to self-ban from online gambling sites of their choice. GamStop has been recognised for reducing gambling-related harm through its self-exclusion tool that is compulsory for licensed operators. Persuaded for its potency, the Queens Park Rangers has concluded a partnership agreement with this free independent organism.
Details of the Partnership
In this partnership, the English club QPR will give matchday and programme advertising space to Gamstop. In addition, this self-exclusion organism’s media will be distributed through this football club's social channels and website. The goals will include spreading the information about the self-exclusion and forcing British online casinos to be part of the GamStop system. The club and QPR in the Community staff will also be trained on the GamStop platform and other gambling resources to enable them to help and give advice to their fans.
GamStop chief executive Fiona Palmer said, “QPR have been incredibly proactive in launching this partnership with GamStop, and we are delighted that the club will be using its extensive platform to raise awareness of the tools that are available to those who may be experiencing gambling-related harm.”
QPR’s commercial director Euan Inglis added: “We are delighted to enter into a partnership with GamStop – the free, UK-wide self-exclusion scheme that enables gamblers to put blocks in place to restrict their online gambling activities,
“Our current betting partner Tebwin are fully integrated with GamStop and will work with the club with this initiative. We are very mindful of getting the message across about responsible gambling.”
A 25% Rise of Self-Excluded Customers in GamStop.
Since its creation in 2018, more than 218,000 people across the UK have registered with GamStop with over 40,000 registrants during the six months of the end of June. Among these customers who acquired this self-excluded tool, 59% were aged between 18 and 34 with 70% of male and 30% female. As GamStop permits the residing in the United Kingdom to voluntarily exclude from 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years, 58% of the registrants opted for five years, the maximum self-exclusion period.
Fiona Palmer, Chief Executive of Gamstop affirmed that the organism was proud to be partnered with QPR, and firmly believed that their alliance would highlight the crucial resources available in the goal to make a positive impact on people’s lives. As the tool has become a mandatory licence requirement since March 2020, GamStop today measures a new record.
The most recognised safer gambling tools like Gamban, GamCare, and TalkBanStop have already collaborated with GamStop to achieve a larger audience aware of the self-exclusion as well as promote responsible gambling. Added to these gambling blockers, the self-ban organisms GamStop have also cooperated with other sports bodies, sporting clubs, and other associated entities. Some of the remarkable alliances to bring awareness to the self-exclusion programme’s services include its collaboration with Luton Town FC also known as the Hatters, Crystal Palace FC, and Professional Darts Players Association (PDPA).
Conclusion
With the highest rate of gambling addiction, various sports bodies are aware of the importance of cooperation with GamStop and, thus, willingly try to collaborate with this online multi-operator self-exclusion scheme. This scheme is designed to help the players who reside in the United Kingdom and with its partnerships with different entities; this tool will reduce betting and gambling-related problems.
As this most popular self-exclusion scheme will continue to grow and advance, the organism is working on adding support to the online casinos and betting sites. Its partnership with Queens Park Rangers Football Club will raise awareness of problem gambling not only among the players but also among the fan bases around the world.
