How to Remove Gamban

Lots of our readers are reaching out with a simple question – how to bypass GamBan and play without restrictions? If you’re among them, welcome to our in-depth guide to bypassing GamBan restrictions on gambling sites.

List of Sites That Bypass Gamban

Before proceeding with the full suite of tips on how to stop Gamban, we’ll share a secret with you. It’s the first and most effective tip there is at the moment, and it’s so easy, it doesn’t need advanced tech know-how. Here goes: Gamban’s capabilities are limited, and it can’t block you out of all the digital gambling platforms operating in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and the rest of the world. The following is a list of virtual casinos and bookies not on Gamban that you can join now without having to disable your self-exclusion software:

How to Get Around Gamban: Other Proven Tips

Apart from the tip above, we’ve got a few more proven tips that don’t require you to learn how to disable Gamban in order to play during your exclusion period. Workarounds aren’t things many of us self-excluding players are proud of, but certain situations call for them sometimes. One situation would be setting our self-exclusion duration longer than we should and not being able to reverse this mistake. Another situation would be wanting so badly to place a bet on our favourite sports team that’s playing whilst we’re on our self-imposed ban.

Use Another Device

If you really must end your self-exclusion prematurely, maybe because you think you’ve already sorted out your excessive-wagering issues, use another computing device. This way, you won’t have to exert any effort deactivating the Gamban tool, which can be tricky. So, if you only installed the bet-blocking software on your laptop or desktop, just take to your smartphone or tablet to visit the betting sites and apps that suit your fancy.

Wait for the Self-Exclusion Period to End

If you’re not comfortable breaking your self-exclusion vow, maybe because it’s your nature to keep your word or because you made the commitment for your loved ones’ sake, then don’t. Amidst your increasing urge to gamble, you can always try to remind yourself about the reasons for your temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent self-exclusion. Doing so isn’t going to be easy, but the hard work and show of willpower would most likely pay off sooner than later.

Make Use of VPN

You may bypass your installed self-exclusion tool by making use of a virtual private network (VPN). First-hand experience tells us that VPN can help you work round Gamban and other bet-blocking software. Be warned, however, that there are a few online casinos not on Gamban, eSportsbooks, and trading platforms that will deny you access through VPN. If you’re looking for VPN service, there’s a plethora of reputable providers on the Internet.

Signup with False Information

Another way to get around Gamban is by signing up with no verification betting sites and apps. There are myriads of such digital gambling platforms out there that don’t ask for personal details. But if you really want to play somewhere that requires verification, you could ask family members or friends to ‘lend’ their information and valid identification card to you. But only do this if you’ve got their go-ahead, or you could get into trouble.

Try Independent Betting Sites

One more way is to try out independent sports betting sites and apps, online casinos, or other digital platforms. These aren’t included in the databases of Gamban and similar bet-restricting tools, so you’re good to go. There are dozens of this sort that you could place your bets on, which makes you spoilt for choice even whilst you’re on self-restriction.

Other Sites with Ways Around Gamban

In addition to the betting sites and apps we’ve listed above, there are others that show you how to get rid of Gamban and remove yourself from exclusion. You may enter these platforms whilst at home or abroad. Should you have enquiries, most of them have chat or email support. A bonus tip for you: Read the Terms & Conditions page of each platform. It contains the gaming mechanics and a guide on depositing funds and withdrawing your winnings. Below are some more independent online wagering platforms to check out:

• God Odds Betting Site
• PH Betting Site
• Hustles Betting Site
• PlayHub Betting Site
• Velobet Betting Site

How to Uninstall Gamban on Android

Now, we’ll give you the lowdown on how to remove Gamban from android even before your exclusion time’s up. As we’ve said before, this software isn’t foolproof, and it doesn’t take rocket science to disable or uninstall it. However, it takes some effort to undo what you’ve downloaded from Google Play and enabled in the name of curbing your impulse betting. Here are six (6) steps to freedom from Gamban via Android:

• Open the ‘Settings’ App on Your Android Device

  If you’re a new Android user, ‘Settings’ has that icon shaped like a cogwheel or a multi-petal flower. But if you’re having a hard time looking for the icon, just type ‘Settings’ in the search box. Once you’ve found it, open the app to begin the process of uninstalling Gamban.

• Tap on the ‘Apps’ Option

  The ‘Apps’ option will show you every app installed on your Android device. The list may be long or short, depending on the number of apps you’ve downloaded. Here, you’ll most likely find apps that you didn’t download intentionally. They’re preloaded on Android, but Gamban shouldn’t be one of them.

• Look for the Gamban App

  Inside ‘Apps’, scroll down until you find the Gamban app that you’ve installed and now want to delete from your device. Have a bit of patience when looking for the bet-blocking tool. As we’ve mentioned earlier, getting rid of Gamban can take some effort.

• Tap the ‘Uninstall’ Icon, Then Hit the ‘OK’

  Once you’ve found Gamban, look for the ‘Uninstall’ icon and hit it. Be ready for reminders and warnings about the negative effects of disabling and deleting an app. Don’t mind these pieces of advice; Android just wants to make sure that you’re not removing Gamban by mistake.

• If Steps 1-4 Don’t Work, Go to the Google Play Store App

  If Steps 1 to 4 aren’t effective in removing Gamban, try opening the Google Play Store app. Once in, tap your profile in the upper-right corner. Select ‘Manage Apps and Device’, then the ‘Manage’ tab. From the ‘Installed’ list, search for Gamban and tick the box beside it. Tap the ‘Delete’ icon, then ‘Uninstall’.

How to Remove Gamban from iPhone

If you’re looking to uninstall Gamban on iPhone because the bet-blocking app is making your device go awry, or you’ve found a better solution to your gambling problem, read on. But before doing that, know that we wish you the best in maintaining your high standards of responsible gaming. Wagering is a great way to keep ourselves amused, and it’s best experienced in moderation. Here are quick and easy steps to your Apple smartphone’s liberation from Gamban:

• Go to Your Main Home Screen

  If you’re a fresh user of your new iPhone and keep forgetting how to exit the app you’re currently using to go back to the home page, swipe up from the screen’s bottom part. If this isn’t the primary home screen, again swipe up from the screen’s bottom part. This should make you return to the main home screen.

• Touch the Gamban App

  On the home screen, look for the Gamban icon that you’ve been so eager to uninstall from your device. The icon takes an orange-on-grey colour scheme. It features a pair of charcoal-grey G’s (one being the mirror image of the other) in the burnt-orange circle that’s against a charcoal-grey background.

• Tap ‘Remove’

  Once you’ve found the Gamban icon on your Home Screen, touch and hold it, doing the long press. Tap ‘Remove’ to do away with the app. Here, you’ll likely encounter two options, which are: 1) to keep Gamban in your App Library; or 2) delete it from your iPhone at last.

• Tap ‘Delete App’

  If you’re bent on uninstalling the Gamban bet-blocking tool, hopefully for reasons that will make you feel good about yourself overall, tap ‘Delete App’. Wait for the uninstallation process to be completed. This isn’t the time to rejoice fully, though, since you need to be sure that Gamban has been wiped out of your device.

• Check Your App Library

  Many of us tend to think that removing icons from the Home Screen is enough to discard unwanted apps. So, even if you’ve successfully removed the Gamban icon from your iPhone’s main page, still check your App Library. If the bet-blocking app continues to show, delete it from this section of your iPhone.

• Delete Gamban from Your App Library

  Locate the Gamban app in your App Library and remove it. Doing this is similar to Step 1, which involves long-pressing the icon to get the ‘Delete’ option. Be reminded that uninstalling Gamban doesn’t automatically end your subscription. It’s best to cancel your paid plan first before casting Gamban out of your Apple system.

How to Remove Gamban from PC

If you’ve installed bet-blocking software in your desktop and laptop, and you wish to learn how to remove Gamban from Mac and Windows as soon as possible, keep reading. We tried as best we could to simplify the guide and not add to your exclusion-related stress and anxiety any more. You only need to take a few steps to free your computer from Gamban, and here they are:

• For both Mac and Windows, Cancel Your Gamban Subscription

  As mentioned in the earlier sections, cancel your current Gamban plan and stop the recurring payments before uninstalling the software. Removing the app from your computer system doesn’t automatically free you from financial obligations to the Gamban company. As a friendly reminder, do this to avoid wasting money on unused software subscriptions.

• For Mac, Go to ‘Applications’

  Open a ‘Finder’ window and select ‘Applications’ from the left-hand column. When you click on ‘Applications’, you should be able to view the gamut of icons representing the programmes in your computer. The Gamban icon has an orange circle on a charcoal-grey background. In the middle of the circle is a stylised ‘G’ facing its mirror image.

• Locate the Gamban App and Drag It to the Trash Can

  Once you’ve found the Gamban icon, click on it. Drag it to the Trash Can icon that’s on the Dock at the bottom part of the screen. Check the Library folders for the so-called leftover files related to your Gamban software and subscription. You should also drag these to the Trash Can.

• Empty the Trash Can

  Click on ‘Empty’ to be sure that the Gamban app and its associated files are gone forever. But before doing that, double-check the leftover files that you’re ready to let go of; they should all be related to Gamban. If any one of these files isn’t from Gamban, it could affect the programme that it’s intended to support.

• For Windows, Go to the ‘Settings’

  Press the ‘Start’ key. Select ‘Settings’, then ‘Apps’, then ‘Apps & Features’. When you’re on ‘Apps & Features’, you should be able to see icons of the programmes contained in your computer. To locate Gamban fast, use the ‘Sort By’ feature for an alphabetical list of apps. Click on Gamban, then ‘Uninstall’.

• Check the Control Panel

  Right-click the Taskbar at the bottom of your screen and go to Search. Enter ‘Control Panel’ and then select it from the search results. Next, select ‘Programs’, then ‘Programs and Features. Press and hold on the Gamban app that you’re looking to remove. Select ‘Uninstall’ and follow the directions that will be shown on the screen.

What if You Uninstall Gamban: Possible Consequences

It’s perfectly fine to have second thoughts about wanting to learn how to turn off Gamban and forget about it forever. Having reservations and apprehensions about deleting bet-blocking apps can happen to the best of us, particularly if we aren’t past our self-imposed exclusion period just yet. In case you’re wondering what the possible consequences of uninstalling Gamban are, here are four (4) that might have the hardest impact on the users:

• Immediate Access to Gambling Sites
  If you uninstall Gamban, you’ll get to enter an abundance of gambling sites and apps instantly, then place a bet without GamStop or Gamban restrictions. You’ll be at liberty to access any and all digital betting platforms that are serving players in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and other parts of the world. For perspective, there are more than 75,000 licensed platforms on the planet, and counting.
• Risk of Relapse for Problem Gamblers
  Uninstalling Gamban increases the risk of relapse amongst players with gambling problems. If you purchased this bet-blocking tool because you wanted to resolve your excessive-betting issues, ending its use prematurely would defeat the purpose of curbing your gambling impulse. It would also have wasted your subscription money. But if you’re past exclusion, and you believe that you’re cured of your wagering addiction, deleting the app from your computer, tablet, or smartphone is all right.
• Psychological Impact
  The removal of the Gamban app from your device could affect you mentally and emotionally. It could make you feel guilty for breaking your commitment to cut back on your wagering habits or quit them altogether. We’ve heard of some former Gamban users who would slip into depression when they decided to delete the app and return to their uncontrolled wagering activities. It’s best to take caution then.
• Financial Implications
  Should you feel like removing Gamban or other bet-blocking tools from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, think about money matters first. Try to recall how gambling had affected your finances before you subscribed to the app. In the UK, many players decide to go on self-exclusion after realising that they’ve gambled more than they can afford.

Getting Around Other Self Exclusion Systems

Apart from getting requests for tips on how to cancel Gamban, we’re also being asked by players in the UK how to get round other self-exclusion systems and schemes. In particular, they’re looking for ways to stop their involvement with GamStop and GamCare. Here are quick answers to questions about GamStop and GamCare:

• GamStop

  GamStop is the national self-exclusion registry of players who voluntarily want themselves barred from UK Gambling Commission-licensed digital betting platforms. If you’ve joined the GamStop network, and you want to get around GamStop to return to gambling, either wait until your exclusion period is over, or enter non-GamStop online casinos and sportsbooks. There are only a few hundred operators on the GamStop list, against 75,000-plus gambling sites and apps on the World Wide Web.

• GamCare

  In a sense, GamCare is an exclusion scheme because it offers players an opportunity to discuss their gambling problem with Advisers via phone or live chat. It’s a support system that sees the users through their journey away from betting excessively. If you’ve taken the initiative to join the GamCare network, and you believe that you’ve regained control of your life, simply tell your Advisers. If this courtesy proves to be cumbersome, just opt out of the service.

• BetStop

  We’re touching on how to get around BetStop because it concerns gamblers residing in Australia. The BetStop population includes travellers originally from the UK. If you haven’t heard about it yet, BetStop is Australia’s version of GamStop. And if you’re part of the BetStop national register looking for a way to bypass it, try accessing eSportsbooks or online casinos that don’t hold an Australian Communications and Media Authority authorisation.
