Welcome to the fellowship of Gamblers Anonymous Scotland

Our primary purpose is to help the problem gambler who still suffers. We invite you to explore the pages of our website to find help for yourself, or someone you know, with a gambling problem.

What Is Gamblers Anonymous?

Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gambling. There are no membership fees; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. Gamblers Anonymous is not allied with any organisation, denomination, politics, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. Our primary purpose is to stop gambling and to help other compulsive gamblers do the same.

Visiting here for the first time?

Do you have a problem with gambling?

If you think you have a gambling problem and you’d like to find help click on the the suggested links at the bottom of this page.

Are you here because of someone else’s gambling?

If you’ve come here because someone you know is a gambler and their gambling is affecting your life, you may wish to visit the website of Gam-Anon. Gam-Anon supports partners, family and friends where someone else’s gambling is causing issues for them. For more information see gamanonscotland.org.

Are you here to seek help on behalf of an organisation or other group?

If you have a request for G.A. members to speak on the problem of compulsive gambling at an event, your workplace, a place of education, or to discuss anything else, please get in touch with our Service Office.
