Free online support for anyone affected by gambling.

This website has been incredibly helpful for me… you've come to a good place.

I wanted to put an end to my online gambling habit. I felt more comfortable chatting to someone online, rather than on the phone.

I've found this service to be really helpful.

Quicker, easier, immediate, felt comfortable. Convenient as I have a computer.

I am truly grateful for all the support I have received on this forum from you all, had it not been for this support I don't think I would have made it this far.

Reading some of the stories on this forum… gives me hope to see that people in worse situations are willing to reach out for help and try to change.
