Help wanted
There are around 450,000 problem gamblers in Britain, according to the Gambling Commission's latest figures. And the bodies aiding them face their own problems.
For example, the Great Foundation, despite sending out requests for funding to more than 3000 holders of gaming licences, has received cash or pledges from fewer than 600 of them.
And the organisation GamCare says that although it provides help to more than 2000 individuals in the UK each year, nearly a third of the country is still without a dedicated counselling service for problem gamblers.
