For gamblers

Are the odds beating you? What began as entertainment can become something heavy and secretive.

You may be unsure whether you have a gambling problem or not. You might be feeling trapped, ashamed, or afraid to tell someone. Many Christians struggle silently, unsure how to bring their gambling into the light. You are not the only one. And this does not define you.

Better Futures for Gamblers provides confidential, Christ-centred support that understands both the practical realities of gambling harm and the spiritual weight it can carry. Freedom is possible, and you don’t have to go forward alone.

God’s grace wins

Our flagship programme Grace Over Gambling is designed to offer practical, biblical support to individuals struggling to break a gambling stronghold.

Five 90 minute sessions are held over 3-5 weeks to provide an intensive, transformative intervention.

We work with local churches

Our expert Recovery Coaches run the sessions, but the key relationship is with your church, who will provide your Supporter. Your Supporter gets a Manual which helps them outside of the sessions and into the long term. You get a chunky workbook which you will write in and be able to keep and refer back to in future.

Why should I choose Grace over Gambling?

“I have had a severe gambling addiction for the last 10 years or so. I came to a point where I realized this was a severe problem and time to do something about it.

I connected with Better Futures for Gamblers, and from the first meeting I immediately realised this was the place to come to help me stop my addiction. The support I received was very personal and conducted in a way I felt those helping me actually cared about me.

I have now been clear from gambling for 9 months and it has changed my outlook of life and although that sounds cliched it is the truth. I hope anyone reading this will have the confidence to reach out to them too.”
