About GamFam ...
We are parents of a recovering compulsive gambler. If only we knew then what we know now I am sure our family would not have suffered so much. We want to help parents and families recognise the early warning signs that are out there and learn from the mistakes we made.
Recognising the signs ...
Simulated gambling games are more popular than ever.
Children are able to experience the thrill of gambling through online gaming without winning or losing real money.
A recent report found that children who enjoyed the risk of simulated gambling games were more likely to gamble later on in life.
Help is out there ...
If parents are able to spot the early warning signs then there a series of preventative measures that can be put in place to help minimise the potential risk of a young person developing a compulsive gambling disorder.
