New research from GambleAware’s 2024 Treatment and Support Survey shows that young people in Great Britain are much more likely to want to cut back or quit gambling compared to the general population. Among 18 to 24 year olds who gamble, 29% say they want to reduce or stop, while the figure for all age groups is 15%.
To help, GambleAware has launched a new app called the GambleAware Support Tool. It’s free and anonymous, designed for anyone looking to quit or cut down on gambling.
The app reportedly helps people set personal goals and take action before gambling harm escalates. Since launching, nearly half of its users aged 18 to 24 said their main reason for wanting to change is to save money.
