If you live in the United Kingdom and you are a gambler with an addiction you can use GamStop. If you live in Zimbabwe you cannot use this platform. Luckily for you, there are alternatives that work well and can help you more than you can imagine. Today we are going to discuss these alternatives. You have a few of them so be free to choose the one that works best for you and helps you solve the problem as soon as possible.

Local Self-Exclusions Like GamStop

This has been a very common method and the one most players will consider. It is free and it works with most sites. See, all you have to do is to contact the support of the casino where you gamble. You can ask them to limit your account and they will do this instantly. As soon as they are done you won’t be able to gamble and you will have to look for another casino if you want to place a bet.

The only issue here is the fact this works for one casino only. So, if you have been playing casino games at 10 casinos you will need to do this for each one. Another thing you need to know is that this will not work 100% of the time. Some casinos still don’t offer this feature but most are adding it as we speak. The goal is to protect and help players who are worried about gambling addiction and the method is helpful for lack of a better word.

You will get the same thing as when using GamStop. The operator will not accept your account and you cannot register a new account or visit the old one. The only possible options for self-excluded users are operators that are not registered with GamStop and work in the country. Those options are limited and the majority of players even do not know about them. As stated above, this is a free method that makes it more than just common and popular. However, some players still don’t know that this is an option so if you are one of them, now you know.

Software Based Alternatives

Here you actually have a lot of choices. For instance, you can use Net Nanny, Gamban, Bet Filter, etc. All these tools will do the same thing. For instance, you will install and configure the software. It can be installed on any Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, or any other platform. Once you are done, choose how long the ban will last and you are done. The software will limit access to all gambling sites in Zimbabwe or better said online so you cannot gamble.

Once the self-exclusion you have selected ends, you can remove it and you can continue to gamble again. This is an obvious thing these days and most players with a gambling addiction will choose one of these tools. It is important to add that you cannot remove the software before the ban expires. There is no way to do that and nothing you do will allow you to gamble. You have to wait for the period of time you have selected, which makes sense.

Keep in mind that these tools are not free. You will have to pay for a monthly subscription and only then you can use one. This is not expensive but it is something you need to know about.

Bank Restriction

This is another method players from Zimbabwe can use. It is free as well. All you have to do is to call your bank and ask them to limit your gambling transactions. A huge advantage is that most players will use their credit cards, associated with the bank account to fund a casino account.

For example, if you use Skrill, you will need a funding source which will be your card or a bank account. If you put a restriction on the bank account you cannot use Skrill because the funds will be removed from that account. As you can see, this is more than just an appealing method and one that has helped millions.

There are some things you need to know here. The first one is that some banks don’t have this option. It is best to call your bank and ask them about this feature. Most banks do offer this support but not all which can be a problem. The second thing is that some banks will allow you to do this online or call support and ask them to do this. Others will require form you to go to the local bank and do this there.

The Final Word

Players from Zimbabwe who are worried about gambling issues cannot use GamStop but they can get help in a different way. They obviously can use international methods that are available or other options described in this article. Here you were able to see all the methods that are available and that work well. Just pick the one you like the most and you are good to go. Yes, you can use multiple methods but usually, there is no need to do that. Just pick the one that will work best in your case scenario and you are done.
