They have very similar offerings and the app and website clearly run on the same system with a different branding applied

Have a look at Gamstop and see if that helps  Most of the other card blocks csn be turned off as easily as they are turned on.

The best anti-gambling card would be Monzo. Most cards allow a gambling block but their cooling off period vary, some you can turn on, but turn off giving 48 hours notice. With Monzo you can set the cooling off period to a year.

A credit card can't be used for gambling transactions in UK. 

Not sure about unregulated offshore bookies.

Barclays has a 72hour cooling off period if gambling transactions are turned on again. Monzo might be a good option given the long delay.

OK, so nothing to stop them drawing money out and nipping in the bookies, or the casino, or the dog track....

If this is a gambling addict and they still have a problem, they will still find a way to gamble.
