A major independent study found that gamblers who used multiple support interventions together were significantly more likely to reduce their gambling than those who relied on a single approach.
An independent evaluation of the TalkBanStop partnership – the collaboration between GamCare, Gamban and Gamstop – has found that people struggling with gambling-related harm achieve meaningfully stronger results when they combine emotional support, self-exclusion and blocking tools, rather than using any one alone.
The evaluation, conducted by Kantar, drew on four sources: a nationally representative survey of 1,200 adults, an online qualitative session with 55 people who had used the layered model, a survey of nearly 1,800 Gamban users, and operational monitoring data from across the partnership.
