Where should you or someone you know go, if there’s a problem?
First of all, it might seem like a big deal to admit that there’s a problem – and it is. Problem gambling can destroy lives. But people admit they have a problem every day, and nobody thinks any less of them. In fact, it’s a sign of greater strength to admit there’s a problem, and even greater again to seek out help.
Below is a list of organisations who deal with people who have gambling problems every day. They’re the best people to contact first.
SUPPORT ORGANISATIONS
BLOCKING GAMBLING SITES
If you feel like the best course of action is to remove the ability to access all gambling websites, then Gamban is an independent organization who make an app that blocks access to all sites and apps, across your phone, tablet and computer.

DEBT AND FINANCIAL ADVICE
Often, gambling can lead to problems with unpaid loans or credit card debt, which can mean there’s an urge to gamble to fund these. Do not do this.
Instead, there are organisations that can help with making a plan to addressing your debt. It’s never as bad as you think it is, so these organisations really can help.
See our ‘Tools’ page as well for ways that can help you stop gambling immediately.
