18+ National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133 Help if gambling hurts

Playvoralox is for adults only

Every page here is about gambling, and in Great Britain gambling is open only to people aged 18 and over. The Gambling Act 2005, in section 46, treats inviting, causing or permitting someone under 18 to gamble as a criminal offence.

Worried about your own gambling or someone else's? Ring the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133). It costs nothing, you do not have to give your name, and it is open day and night. GamCare also offers online chat.

Parental controls on phones, tablets and computers, or separate blocking software, can keep gambling sites away from children.
