It is currently estimated that around £7.8bn is spent on gambling in the UK each year.
Any situation where chance is involved can be gambled on: the lottery, horse racing, bingo, scratch cards or even raffles.
Like any behaviour involving reward, gambling can be very addictive. Indications of problem gambling can range from staying away from school or work, or performance issues, lying to cover up the habit or stealing or borrowing money to gamble.
Gambling is fun for many people, but it can become a serious problem.
Gambling addiction not only affects the gambler, but the people around them - their family, friends and colleagues.
