- There are organisations available that specialise in issues like these and we’d encourage you to get in touch with them. We’d suggest you contact the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133. It’s free, and operates 24 hours a day. If you’d prefer live chat it’s available at www.gamcare.org.uk/get-support/talk-to-us-now.
- We also recommend that you take additional steps to help avoid online gambling including:
- Speaking to your bank as many banks now offer the option of blocking yourself from making gambling transactions (more details can be seen here)
- Installing gambling blocking software to help restrict access to gambling sites and apps. Visit our Tools and Support page to learn more, and explore other areas of our website for additional help and advice
- Asking your internet service provider to block gambling sites
