Overview
The B4GAMBLE 10-Step Programme is a free, private online self-help programme for adults (18+) who want to gamble less or stop. It is made up of ten short missions, most taking 5 to 8 minutes, that help a person understand their gambling pattern, set their own money and time limits, add practical barriers such as blocking tools and self-exclusion, prepare a support route and plan for urges.
You can start straight away online, with no referral and no registration needed until your starting point is ready. It is self-help, not treatment, and it points people to professional support, such as the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133) and local NHS gambling services, when that is the better step.
In the interest of transparency: the B4GAMBLE website also publishes comparisons of licensed gambling operators, funded by affiliate commissions. The programme itself is free and contains no gambling offers.
