Information & support

BeGambleAware

BeGambleAware information connects you with official resources about gambling harms and available support. This resource page is independent of GambleAware, GamCare and the NHS. Find routes to those organisations’ current guidance, whether the concern involves your own gambling or someone else’s, and consider the practical account controls described in the information below.

Information and support beyond casino reviews

This is an information page on this review website. It is not the official GambleAware website and does not claim an affiliation with GambleAware, GamCare or the NHS. The links below take you to those organisations' own information or support services.

Gambling can affect money, relationships and wellbeing. Help does not need to wait until a situation becomes severe. If gambling feels difficult to control, practical support is more useful than another casino comparison or promotional offer.

Use the official support routes

  • The official GambleAware website provides information about gambling harms and routes to support. Organisational arrangements can change, so use the service details published by the support provider itself when seeking help.

  • GamCare's support page describes ways to talk to an adviser and find support for your own gambling or the effects of someone else's gambling. You do not need to have an account with a particular casino to ask about available help.

  • The NHS information on gambling harms explains support and treatment options, including access to specialist services. A GP can also help you understand the services available for your circumstances.

Take a step that reduces the pressure

A practical first step might be pausing deposits, reviewing gambling transactions with someone you trust, or using a blocking tool. Self-exclusion is another option for stopping access to gambling services. The Gambling Commission explains self-exclusion and how it is intended to support people who need to stop.

Do not open another account to get around an exclusion. The restriction is there to support your decision to take a break. Our responsible gambling page explains the difference between ordinary limits, breaks and seeking further help.

This website provides reading material and links. It does not provide counselling, treatment or emergency support, and it cannot manage a casino account or activate an exclusion on your behalf.

About our approach

Frequently asked questions

What can I ask before sharing personal details with a support service?

Ask how the service handles confidentiality, what information it needs and whether there are circumstances in which information may be shared. Use the provider's official service details and privacy explanation for that conversation. This review website's privacy notice does not describe the information you give to an independent support organisation.

Should I contact a casino or an independent service about gambling's effect on my wellbeing?

An independent gambling-support service is the appropriate route for discussing that concern. Casino support deals with its own account matters, including requests about restrictions, but that is a different role from the support resources described here. You can seek help with wellbeing while separately arranging the account control you need.
