Chat in English
In the Pelirajaton chat, you can talk confidentially about gambling—whether it’s your own gambling or the affected of a loved one’s gambling on your life.
You’ll receive peer support and practical insights into your situation. You can discuss, for example, quitting gambling, supporting a loved one, your own boundaries, your well-being, or what you should do next in your situation.
