Gambling costs money, in the same way a concert ticket or a meal out does. It is never a way to raise money or to recover a loss. Play is open only to adults of 18 or over.
GambleZen's position on GAMSTOP
GambleZen is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and not part of GAMSTOP. A GAMSTOP registration therefore will not stop you opening an account at GambleZen, so if you have registered, please stay away from GambleZen's site. Gamban blocks gambling sites, including GambleZen's, on phones, tablets and computers.

Signs to take seriously
Stakes creeping up to recover losses, money for bills going on play, borrowing to continue, or keeping your gambling from people close to you are all signals to stop. So is irritability on days when you cannot play.

Keeping children out
Lock your devices, keep your login to yourself, and add a filter on any computer children share. A quiet word early is far easier than a hard one later.
