Get Help & Self-Exclusion

Help Resources

 

If you have a concern about your gambling, or if you have a family member or friend about whom you are concerned, please log on to www.gamblingtherapy.je, which is a site dedicated to Jersey residents.

If you want to restrict gambling advertising to your twitter account, the UK Gambling Commission has produced information that you can access via https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PDF/Twitter-consumer-guide.pdf

Gambling Therapy has also released an app for both iPhone and Android that offers advice and a way for people to seek help. The app can be downloaded by scanning the "QR" code below:

Gambling Therapy is part of the UK Gordon Moody Association, a charity that specialises in residential care for problem gamblers. Staff and trained counsellors from Gambling Therapy have visited Jersey a number of times; they know the local gambling sector and they understand the pressures that a minority of players may face.

 

For general assistance and advice on debt management you can contact Citizens' Advice, and for online help either visit Gambling Therapy or via email on jersey@gamblingtherapy.je. You may also be able to receive face-to-face assistance if you contact the Health Department or get a referral from your GP.

Online Meetings

Gamblers, Family and Friends in Recovery (GFFR) is a virtual support network facilitated by Zoom meetings.

GFFR was born out of a need to support compulsive gamblers, their families and friends affected by some's gambling who were no longer able to attend face-to-face meetings during the Covid-19 pandemic.

GFFR has global reach and meetings can be accessed by using the following link:

Self Exclusion

 

All bookmakers have to comply with our policy on self-exclusion; they must assist anyone who wants to be refused service in the future. Anyone who wants to make a commitment to stop gambling by effectively "barring" themselves from a set of premises can do so by filling out a Self Exclusion Form (available for download below). Any licensed bookmaker who does not co-operate with a self-exclusion request is in breach of their licence conditions, which would be a matter that the Commission would take very seriously.
