‘I lied to everyone I met’: How gambling addiction has taken hold of women in the UK
Bev, Tracey and Stacey had problems with gambling. Bev was in charge of household finances. Tracy used to gamble a lot. St Stacy used online gambling to avoid attention. They all found support at a women-only residential retreat. They are part of a network of organisations within the National Gambling Treatment Service. Karter makes a link between a rise in gambling amongst women and its omnipresence. She sees a correlation between this and a increase in stress, depression and anxiety. It's easy to lose yourself in the virtual world of online gaming.
