Gambling addiction impacts millions worldwide, causing financial, emotional, and social distress. Early detection is limited, and individuals often fail to seek intervention until it's too late. Young children are also increasingly vulnerable to online gambling, lacking proper safeguards.

🔹 Shocking Stats:

• Gambling has the highest suicide rate among addictions. Nearly 40% of individuals with gambling disorders consider suicide.
• 18% of online gamblers are in gambling debt (~3.3 million people), with an average debt of £10,000.
• A survey found that 0.7% of 11 to 17-year-olds are problem gamblers, 1.5% are at risk, and 23% are non-problem gamblers.
