Help and Support for Gambling Issues

Seeking advice and guidance

Gambling issues can range from bad habits to full-on addiction and affect everything from your mental health and relationships to finances and quality of life.

Seeking support for any kind of gambling issue is the most important and first step, and while incredibly challenging, there are several organisations out there that can help.

Some key organisations include:

• GamCare – an independent charity which provides information, advice and support for anyone affected by problem gambling across England, Scotland and Wales.
• GamStop – the UK’s gambling self-exclusion scheme.
• BigDeal– GamCare’s website for young people.
• StepChange Debt Charity – debt counselling and advice for managing debt.
• National Debtline – advice for managing debt.
• NHS resources on gambling
• Gamblers Anonymous and Gam-Anon – local support groups to help problem gamblers with recovery from addiction, plus support groups for friends and family.

The Responsible Gambling website also has an extensive list of support sources for those in need, which we would strongly recommend that anyone with a potential gambling problem consider. These include various resources and information as well as a range of actionable tools, advice and helplines.
