What helped? An anonymous survey for people affected by gambling

7 questionsAbout 2 minutesNo name, no email

If gambling has harmed you or someone close to you, your answers show the next reader what is worth trying first. Every question is multiple choice, and you can skip any of them except the first.

1. Who are you answering for?
2. Which kind of gambling caused the most harm?
3. How long had gambling been a problem before the first attempt to get help?
4. What has been tried so far?Tick everything that applies.
5. Which one helped the most?
6. What made it hardest to ask for help?
7. Where do you live?

Only the options you tick and today's date are stored.

Results so far

Results are shown here once 30 people have answered, so that no single person's answers can be picked out.

What is stored

  • The options you tick and the date. Nothing else: no name, no email, no free text, no IP address and no cookie.
  • Because an answer cannot be linked to a person, it also cannot be found and deleted afterwards. Send it only if you are comfortable with that.
  • Answers are published in total figures only, never one by one.

How to read the results

People who answer chose to, and they found this site while looking for help. The results describe them, not everyone who gambles. They are a guide to what readers of this site tried and found useful, and they are not a clinical study.
