GAMSTOP has reported that the registrations have increased by 19% in the first half of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

April set a new high with 10,281 registrations, the first time monthly volumes have exceeded 10,000 – this was then exceeded the next month with 10,344 registrations in May.

The share of registrants aged 16-24 is growing rapidly – a 44% year-on-year increase in registrations in this cohort has seen under-25s make up over a quarter of new registrations this year.

Uptake of six-month exclusions is rising, particularly within the 16-24 age group, where 4 in 10 opted for this exclusion length.

The maximum exclusion length of five years remains the most popular amongst all other age groups.

Gamstop Group CEO Fiona Palmer said: “We have worked very hard to increase awareness of GAMSTOP amongst younger consumers and to destigmatise the use of self-exclusion. We want them to realise that GAMSTOP can be used as a preventative tool alongside other solutions, giving them breathing space to take back control.”
