GamCare takes a non-judgemental approach on gambling. We do not wish to restrict the choices or opportunities for anyone to operate or engage in gambling opportunities that are available legally and operated responsibly.
GamCare, a registered charity, has become the leading authority on the provision of information, advice and practical help in addressing the social impact of gambling. We strive to develop strategies that will:
- Improve the understanding of the social impact of gambling
- Promote a responsible approach to gambling
- Address the needs of those adversely affected by a gambling dependency
GamCare Policy
GamCare does not wish to restrict the choices or opportunities for anyone to operate, or engage in, gambling activities that are legally available. However, GamCare is concerned about the damage that is being done to some people's lives. It therefore has a commitment to reduce further damage by promoting responsible attitudes to gambling and to work for the provision of proper care for those who have been harmed by a gambling dependency.
