Gamble Aware

Gamble Aware

Gamble Aware is not a counselling service like Gamcare or Gamblers Anonymous, but rather a gambling facts service. The advice in bold at the top of their homepage is spot on:

Don't gamble unless you know the facts. Being responsible about gambling means knowing whether to gamble and how much money or time to spend.

How gambling works contains several subsections:

Types of gambling has subcategories detailing casino games, gaming machines and others.

Gambling terms explained includes pages on odds and the house edge, plus a glossary.

Fact ot fiction is a quiz to test your knowledge of the facts, claims and superstitions about gambling.

Chances of winning lists the probabilities of various bets and life occurances.


Responsible gambling has advice on how to manage you gambling, with a time management diary and a money management planner, along with a page of tips on responsible gambling where you are invited to submit your own advice.


Customer protection discusses responsible gambling measures such as helping problem gamblers, making sure gambling is 'fair and open' and several others; the rules for different games section discusses rules for casinos, online gambling and others.


Recognise a problem goes into the signs of problem gambling and provides a self assessment form to fill in.


Seek help describes the various options available to address the problem: self-exclusion lists the gambling blocking software tools available to physically stop you from gambling online, gambling advice lists the various support and counselling services, and there are recommendations for financial advice and an other advice page.


This is a very useful information site.
