Special announcement: Snooker legend Willie Thorne breaks his silence on his gambling addiction at Excessive Gambling Wales

Excessive Gambling in Wales is on the increase.

Gambling is not a new phenomenon, but excessive gambling in Wales is on the increase. Gambling can affect people from all walks of life. Figures for England and Wales show that almost 2% of the adult male population can now be classified as Pathological Gamblers. Gambling problems can lead to incredibly tough emotional, financial and psychological issues which are not easy to spot until it gets too much for the individual in question.

Our focus at this conference is on the many of us who deliver support services, education and prevention programmes to those in need. How can we make helping services for gambling more visible and responsive?

“This conference is intended to raise awareness of the need to tackle Wales’ serious gambling problem and find lasting solutions.” Wynford Ellis Owen, Chief Executive, Living Room Cardiff
