GAMSTOP records highest number of self-exclusions in one day as registrations top 300,000
- More than 7,000 new registrations recorded per month in 2022, on average
- 9% increase in new registrations, compared to 2021
- GAMSTOP recently recorded its highest number of registrations in a single day
- Record number of women self-excluded in February -1/3 of registrants
More than 300,000 people in the UK are now registered with GAMSTOP, the free, independent national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling, with a monthly average of more than 7,000 new sign ups this year.
GAMSTOP has released its data for the first six months of 2022 against the backdrop of the Government’s delayed White Paper on reforming the gambling laws, now not expected until the autumn. From January-June 2022, more than 43,500 people registered to exclude themselves from UK-licensed online sites – up 9% on the first six months of 2021.
Generally, the highest number of registrations are recorded in the winter months, but there were more sign-ups in the second quarter of 2022 than in the final quarter of 2021. This trend looks set to continue; on July 1st, 371 people registered to exclude themselves – the highest number of registrations in a single day since the service was launched in April 2018.
GAMSTOP CEO, Fiona Palmer said: “Our most recent data suggests gambling-related harm remains a serious problem and it is widely accepted that action is needed to protect those most at risk. We are now recording an average of more than 7,000 new registrants each month, which is almost a double-digit increase year-on-year.
Although we cannot be certain about the reasons for this, our internal analysis implies that higher volumes of self-exclusion are evidence of a sustained prevalence of gambling-related harm, as well as a greater awareness of GAMSTOP.
We look forward to seeing the Government’s recommendations for reforming the gambling laws in the forthcoming White Paper, now expected this autumn”.
In the second quarter of 2022 there was a 5% increase in registrations from 16-24-year-olds and 58% of all registrants were under 35, as of the end of June. Currently, 30% of registrants are female, but in February 2022 a record 33% of those who self-excluded were women.
Registration with GAMSTOP is free, with people asked to fill in personal details and select an exclusion period of six months, one year or five years. As of June 2022, nearly 50% of those registered have chosen to put in place a five-year exclusion, the longest term possible.
GAMSTOP was launched in April 2018 and, as of the end of June 2022, 91% of the 300,631 people who have registered since its inception, are currently excluded. Fewer exclusions were removed in June 2022 than in any of the five preceding five months.
In May 2022, GAMSTOP won the ‘Data for Good Initiative’ at this year’s British Data Awards, alongside its technology partner The Data Shed, in recognition of its capability to use data safely to protect potentially vulnerable individuals.

2025 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association
AGS Brings Bold Portfolio of Proven Performers and First-to-Market Innovation to OIGA 2025
AGS announced it will showcase its latest lineup of high-performing Class II and Class III slot titles and table innovations at the 2025 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) Conference and Trade Show, taking place July 14–16 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. This comes on the heels of the Company’s recent announcement that it is now privately held, following the completion of its acquisition by Brightstar Capital Partners.
Leading the slot lineup is So Hot Super 4
Legends, a brand-new multi-play experience debuting in Class II markets that lets players engage with four classic So Hot® titles at once on a single screen. With stacked wins and frequent bonus triggers, this high-energy game puts a fresh spin on iconic AGS hits that have long been staples in key Class II markets like Oklahoma.
AGS will also debut new titles spanning multiple Spectra cabinets, including:
- Triple Riches
family: Transylvania Treasures - Kraken Fortune’s family: Pirate Hoard
- Zodiac Strike family: Pegasus
- Dragon Blast® family: Mighty Lion
- Mariachi Fortunes Trio family: Fiesta De Los Vivos and Fiesta De Las Calacas
- Repeat Win Fusion family: Puurfect Trio and Fa Cai Trio
In the premium segment, AGS will spotlight Moo Cluck Oink®, now available in Class III and coming soon to Class II. This character-packed farm frenzy brings together the fan-favorite stars of Cluck Cluck Cash® and Moo Moo Madness, along with a few new barnyard personalities. The game’s playful crossover theming gives players a rare reunion of familiar favorites, wrapped in a brand-new experience.
Moo Cluck Oink is available on all AGS premium cabinets—Orion Curve Premium, Spectra UR43 Premium, and Spectra SL49+ Premium—and the large-format, specialty cabinet Spectra SL75+. Designed to support the entire Spectra game library, including premium titles when leased, Spectra SL75+ gives operators added flexibility to mix and match content to fit their unique casino floor.
AGS will also showcase its high-performing mechanical stepper lineup, led by the Revel® cabinet—the Company’s first entry into the mechanical stepper category—available in both Class II and Class III. At OIGA, attendees can experience Revel launch titles in Class II, including Liberty Diamond® and Triple Treasure®, along with Straight Cash Triple Double Spin, a new title set to release this quarter in both Class II and Class III. Returning to the lineup is the proven Gold Nudge®, delivering classic stepper appeal with a modern nudge feature.
On the table side, AGS continues to push boundaries with Bonus Spin Xtreme for Poker Rooms. Already a hit on main casino floors, Bonus Spin Xtreme now brings the same electrifying progressive action to poker rooms. It can be linked to a shared jackpot pool across multiple table types or configured as a standalone progressive. Live poker players who place the side bet have a chance to win the same life-changing prize as players on blackjack, craps, roulette, or pai gow. The result is one of the most dynamic and inclusive progressive systems in the industry.
With deep roots in Oklahoma, where AGS was founded and where its primary warehouse and production facility remain, AGS is energized to return to OIGA with a growing portfolio of player-favorite products and a continued commitment to serving the needs of tribal operators.
See it all in action at AGS booth 732 at OIGA 2025.
