The National Gambling Treatment Service is a network of organisations working together to provide confidential treatment and support for anyone experiencing gambling-related harms, free to access across England Scotland and Wales.

Wherever someone makes contact throughout this network these providers work alongside each other through referral pathways to deliver the most appropriate package of care for individuals experiencing difficulties with gambling, and for those who are impacted by someone else’s gambling.

The National Gambling Helpline is operated by GamCare and offers:

Telephone and live chat support – it is the easiest and quickest way for most people to connect with the service(s) or support that can best help them. The HelpLine is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It can provide brief interventions and make referrals into other treatment options across the network.
