Problem Gambling: The Numbers
According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, approximately 2-3% of adults meet criteria for problem gambling, and another 4-6% are considered at-risk gamblers. The GambleAware reports that in the UK alone, an estimated 0.5% of the adult population (around 300,000 people) are problem gamblers, with another 2.1 million at risk.
Young adults aged 18-24 are particularly vulnerable. Research from the International Center for Responsible Gaming shows that problem gambling rates among this age group are 2-3 times higher than in the general adult population.
Self-Assessment: Are You at Risk?
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer 'yes' to two or more, consider seeking support from one of the organizations listed below.
- Have you ever bet more than you could afford to lose?
- Have you needed to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same feeling?
- Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling?
- Have you lied to family members or others to hide the extent of your gambling?

How to Help Someone with a Gambling Problem
If you suspect a friend or family member has a gambling problem, here's how you can help:
- Start a non-judgmental conversation. Express concern about specific behaviors, not the person.
- Learn about problem gambling so you can understand what they're going through. Resources like Gambling Therapy offer specific guidance for friends and family.
- Don't lend money, cover debts, or make excuses for gambling behavior — this enables the problem.
- Encourage professional help. Offer to help them contact a helpline or attend their first counselling session.
- Take care of yourself. Supporting someone with addiction is stressful. Consider joining a support group for affected family members.
Maloletničko kockanje
Kockanje je nezakonito za bilo koga mlađeg od 18 godina (ili zakonske granice u vašoj jurisdikciji). Strogo se protivimo maloletničkom kockanju i ni na koji način ne ciljamo maloletnike. Svi kazini na ovom sajtu zahtevaju verifikaciju starosti.
