The National Problem Gambling Clinic will help people aged between 13 and 25.

Now you can be too old for gambling support from a clinic……just wow….

Fudge sake.. what about the older people? I’m 26 so just missed out, but thinking about a casino, most that I’ve noticed are 30-50 years old.

I dont have a problem with this, and think its a good thing.

Basically trying to nip the problem in the bud, before it gets to my/our stage.

If you look, there is a lot of help for 26+ people already, and I guess most of it would be unavailable to anyone under 18.

I guess having more than 2 gambling specific residential rehab centers in England would be a start. (I know this was true in 2015, unaware of any more that have opened if they have)

Would have helped me a lot if when I was 21 i reckon, support groups with old dudes and questionnaire councillors weren’t for me. Gutted I’m 27 tbh as they still aren’t for me

 

It’s a step in the right direction, prevention is better than cure and it seems they’re getting that

Great idea but that’s me out I wish I had one 50 in 3 weeks took me that long yo stop gambling

Same here, I’m 47.  I wanted to go to the one in London when I was younger but could never afford to get there and places were very limited.
