Email Support
Not ready, or not able to speak to someone on the phone or in person? You can get in touch with us by email.
This service is designed to provide short term email support for anyone affected by gambling harms, either by their own or through someone else’s gambling.
Support is provided by our experienced Online Support Team, who can help you to explore your situation and navigate your next steps, including what additional support options are available to you.

How does email support work?
- Make sure you have read our privacy statement to ensure you understand what information we will have access to and how we are storing this data.
- Complete the form above, including as much information as you feel comfortable sharing about your current situation.
- One of our team will respond to you email within two working days (Monday – Friday) offering information, support and potential signposting to other relevant services or information.
How does it work?
- You can continue to correspond by email for up to 3 emails in total to ensure you have received the information, support and signposting that is most relevant to you and your situation.
- Email exchanges will remain open for 28 days. If an email sent by our team has not been responded to within 28 days, we will assume that you no longer wish to access email support at this time and this email exchange will be closed.
- The email service is designed to provide support to those experiencing gambling harms, either directly or through someone else’s gambling. Therefore, any emails sent to this address that are not directly linked to support for someone experiencing gambling harms will not be responded to.
