How to Cancel Gamban

Step-by-step guide to cancelling and removing Gamban from your devices.

How to Cancel or Remove Gamban

Gamban is intentionally designed to be difficult to remove during your subscription period. This is a core feature of the software — it helps maintain your self-exclusion commitment even during moments of temptation. However, there are legitimate circumstances where you may need to cancel or remove it.

Step 1 — Contact Gamban Support

Email Gamban's support team at support@gamban.com and request cancellation. Include your registered email address, the devices Gamban is installed on, and your reason for requesting removal.

Step 2 — Cooling-Off Period

Gamban may require a cooling-off period before processing your removal request. This is designed to prevent impulsive decisions made during moments of gambling urges. The typical cooling-off period is 24–48 hours, though this may vary.

Step 3 — Responsible Gambling Assessment

In some cases, Gamban may ask you to confirm that you have spoken with a gambling support service or completed a brief assessment before they process the removal. This is a safeguard to ensure the removal is in your best interest.

Step 4 — Subscription Expiry

If you simply do not renew your Gamban subscription when it expires, the blocking will cease automatically. Subscriptions are typically annual (approximately £24.99/year). Check your account settings for your renewal date and turn off auto-renewal if applicable.

Step 5 — Device Uninstallation

Once your removal has been approved or your subscription has expired, you may need to manually uninstall the Gamban software from each device. The uninstallation process varies by operating system — Gamban's support team can provide device-specific instructions.

⚠️ Before You Cancel

If you installed Gamban to help manage a gambling problem, please consider speaking with a support professional before removing it. The National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133) is free, confidential, and available 24/7. They can help you assess whether removing Gamban is the right decision for you.
