Support Helpline

The support helpline provides one-to-one information, advice and support via online chat. A team of experts is on hand to reply and will be able to direct you to further resources in your country of residence while offering an understanding ear. You don't need to use your own name and you can get in touch if you're affected by someone close to you gambling.

Support Groups

Online support groups are regularly held for both gamblers and their friends and families. These work like an online group chat and are run either by trained support workers or peers.

Forums

The forums on the Gambling Therapy website are open 24 hours a day and can provide valuable support at odd times of day if you're a night owl or live in a different time zone. There are various forums for journals, friends and family, meetings and fighting addiction amongst others.

Email Advice

The helpline service is also available via email if you'd prefer to use that method of communication or if you need to get in touch when the helpline service is closed. Gambling Therapy aims to get back to those who email within two days.

The Gambling Therapy site is available in a number of languages including English, French, Spanish, Polish and Chinese. The site has thousands of members so you know you're not alone and that you can discuss concerns regarding gambling problems with both experienced support workers and those also experiencing the same difficulties.
