In partnership with GambleAware and our members, the PPF aims to improve players’ understanding of problem gambling and raise awareness of the support available to players who may have a gambling problem. This follows on from our research which showed that professional sportspeople are 4 times more at risk of developing a gambling problem than the average person.
The following resources are specifically aimed at sportspeople and the videos feature testimonials from players who’ve suffered problems with their gambling. We are hugely grateful to: John Hartson, Scott Davies, Clarke Carlisle, The Sporting Chance Clinic, Cognacity and EPIC.
The key priority for player associations is the welfare of their players. If you’re struggling with a gambling addiction or are worried about your gambling behaviour, please contact your Player Association for advice on how to get help.
