Every adviser you chat to has been trained to listen and to offer help and support to anyone affected by gambling. Simply talking about your worries can be a huge relief in itself, and our advisers can connect you with specialist support that’s tailored to your situation.
You don’t need to share any personal details when talking with our advisers, and you can rest assured that everything you say will stay between you and the person you’re talking to. We understand it can feel scary to open up about your worries, and we care deeply about your confidentiality, so unless we’re concerned about your safety, we won’t share anything outside of our conversation.
Calls with the National Gambling Helpline are free from landlines, mobiles and BT phone boxes within Great Britain. Just so you know, some other public phone operators may charge you to call. There is no charge for online chats, other than your usual data or internet connection.
As a healthcare professional, you can encourage your patients or clients to make contact with the National Gambling Support Network. You should emphasise that it is completely confidential, and free to access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We provide telephone, online and face-to-face support for individuals and groups.

GAMBLING STORIES

JUST A FEW STORIES FROM PEOPLE THAT NEEDED HELP WITH MANAGING THEIR GAMBLING.

“I never thought I had a problem. I didn’t want to be seen like a gambler and addict. But they’re all the things that I was…I think now knowing that I can pick up the phone to someone, or I could reach out to someone and get help straight away…it might have been easier.”

ADAM

“I never talked about anything. I wish I had, just saying stuff out loud makes such a difference… I went to group meetings and the more I spoke about my story, the more open I was. And the more I was getting asked questions and getting more involved. It was that that helped me in my recovery.”

JOANNE

“No one ever talks about losses. So, it’s really hard to even know if someone’s got a problem or not, because if you haven’t won for a while – you just won’t say anything…Hearing other people’s stories that are similar to mine kind of makes you think ‘Wait a minute’… you realise you’re not a million miles away from it.”
