United Kingdom only. Content is written for adults in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We do not target other countries or seek to operate as a multi-jurisdiction gambling or healthcare service.

18+. Material addresses gambling harm and recovery—not children.

No gambling promotion. No bonuses, odds, sign-up offers, or affiliate links to operators in articles.

No regulated healthcare or therapy from this publisher. We do not provide therapy, counselling, clinical assessment, or crisis care; we do not accept patients or clients. We are not registered with UK healthcare regulators as a care provider (for example we are not an HCPC-registered psychology service or a CQC-registered clinic). Articles are lay education only.

No Gambling Commission operating licence. We do not offer gambling; we publish information and signposting only.

No implied endorsement by named charities. GamStop, GamCare, Gambling Therapy, and similar links are independent third parties; we are not their agent and do not earn commission.

Advertisers. Campaigns must follow Google Ads policies and UK law. This destination is informational (harm reduction / help-seeking), not real-money gambling. Google classifies and updates sensitive categories (including health and addiction-related topics) over time—advertisers remain responsible for certification, ad copy, and landing-page fit. We do not give legal advice.

No cloaking. We do not detect crawlers or bots to serve different substantive content, and we do not hide text or links intended only for machines. Pages are server-rendered; scripts only improve usability (menus, consent, in-page navigation)—they do not replace the editorial content.

About

About Gambling Harm Handbook UK

We are a lay editorial project published on gamblingtherapyuk.co.uk under the title Gambling Harm Handbook UK. Articles in British English cover gambling harm and recovery and link to recognised UK organisations. We do not provide therapy or counselling, do not employ clinicians for this website, do not register patients, and do not charge for sessions. We are not the charity Gambling Therapy—similar names exist across the sector; always check you are on the site you intend.

Why this site exists

Reliable information is scattered across many pages. We try to offer a calm, structured place that explains common ideas and points to GamCare, the NHS, Be Gamble Aware, and other serious sources.

What we do not do

Promote gambling operators, bonuses, or sign-up deals.
Sell directories of therapists or earn fees for referrals.
Publish fake testimonials pretending to be real clients.
