ClutchBet’s aim is to ensure our clients can make informed decisions about their gambling, and when or if required, always have access to gambling help and services.
What is Problem Gambling?
Problem gambling is when gambling that was once a fun & recreational, has started to create problems in your life, such as debt, relationship problems, stress or depression. Whilst gambling is a popular pastime, it can be addictive in which there may be a loss of control, causing yourself and your loved one’s harm.

If you answer yes to any of the following, your gambling may be starting to become a problem.
Do you:
- Spend more money and time than you intend to on gambling
