All of the recommended casinos here are legitimate sites that keep players safe. They respect Gambling Counselling Edinburgh gambling rules and age restrictions, offering an excellent real money gaming experience in a secure environment dedicated to players' welfare and security online. Jun 17, 2019 The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) estimates that although approximately 5 million Americans meet the criteria for compulsive gambling, only around 8 percent of these individuals will ever seek help for their problem. Yet according to the NCPG, gambling addiction is very treatable once it has been identified.

'I used to feel so lost. When it all went pear shaped, as it did for me so many times, I lost all confidence. With the Gordon Moody Association's support I now have a sense of hope about my future.'

By visiting this website, you have taken the first step towards seeking the help you need. To free yourself from problem gambling and all the negative effects on your life will not be easy, but we are here to help you.

We here at the Gordon Moody Association have found that a serious gambling addiction is not something that you can free yourself from without help and without changing the way you think, feel and behave. You will need to look at your life; the experiences that may make you feel different from everyone else; and then plan the way forward taking into account the strains, stresses, aims and ambitions that make you gamble.

If you need assistance with completing the form please call us and we will be happy to help. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Multilingual Live Support

It can really help to speak to someone if you are worried about your own gambling, or if someone else’s gambling is having an impact on your life. We have trained advisors waiting to speak to you using our text-based multilingual Live Support service. The team will answer your questions, provide information and can offer practical and emotional support during difficult times. If this is your first visit to the Gambling Therapy website then the helpline is a great place to start.

Online Support Groups

Joining one of our regular text-based groups can be a great way to share your experiences and to talk to others about how they are working through their issues around gambling.

Gambling Therapy runs a number of groups on a range of subjects – so whether you are struggling with your own gambling, or you are affected by someone else’s gambling you will find a group to suit you. Our recovery and support groups are facilitated by trained and experienced support workers – you will be welcomed and accepted without judgement.

Support Forums

Gambling Counselling Edinburgh Primary School

The Gambling Therapy forums are available 24/7. You can use the journal forums to write about your own recovery from gambling problems, or choose the friends and family area if you are affected by someone else’s gambling. This is a good place to ask questions, to ask for support, to offer support to others or simply to let the community know about your progress.

Email Support

As well as the one-to-one text-based support service, the support groups and the forums, Gambling Therapy also offers an email support service. If you prefer not to use one of the interactive services you are very welcome to drop us an email – a member of our team of trained advisors will respond to you within two working days.
