Gambling Support
Are you having fun?
Here at Star Draws, we want you to have fun and hopefully win something in doing so and meet new friends along the way in our Star Draws Community Chat Group
It is very easy to have fun in life, but at what cost? You must remember it is your money and your responsibility to make sure you only spend what you can afford to potentially lose. Look at playing these games as going out somewhere for the night; budget what you are willing to spend and spend just that!
If you are not having any fun anymore, then it may be time to leave. There is support available if you feel you need it.
Get support!
Whether you are looking for support for yourself, a friend or a family member, GamCare can help.
GamCare is part of the National Gambling Support Network.
The National Gambling Support Network 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.
GamCare also offers the National Gambling Helpline, which operates 24/7 and is free to access. Our trainer Helpline Advisers are available to chat over the phone, via live chat, or through WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
They also offer a range of other platforms which can help connect you with peers or tools to support you, such as MyGamCare, our Forum or Group Chatrooms.
You can speak with the Advisers one-to-one over the phone or on live chat 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
They will listen to what is going on for you, and talk through options for support in your local area, online or over the phone.
