SELF-HELP GROUPS
from Wanna Bet?
Some people find that talking with others with similar issues is helpful and supportive. Gamblers Anonymous brings together men and women who want to do something about their own gambling problem and support others. It is based on similar principles - the twelve steps - to Alcoholics Anonymous. There are also GamAnon support groups for friends and family.
Some of the other organisations listed here also offer self-help groups and forums.
Your Workplace
Your employer may offer an employee assistance programme (EAP) which should be free and confidential and may include support for gambling issues.
Gamcare
GamCare runs the national gambling helpline which is open 24/7 by phone, text chat or WhatsApp. They also run group chats. GamCare can point you towards other sources of advice and support.
Gamble Aware
Formerly known as the National Gambling Support Network, GambleAware brings together organisations across Great Britain who provide free, confidential and personalised support to those experiencing problems with gambling or affected by someone else’s gambling.
