Treatment
RIGT is the only/main funder of gambling treatment services in Britain. These include telephone helplines, face-to-face counselling and online advice services provided by GamCare, and residential services provided by Gordon House. The services we fund are available nationwide, free of charge, and open to everyone.
Education and public awareness
RIGT heads a national taskforce set up to improve public awareness of the dangers of gambling. We are developing a national campaign to help people manage their gambling and to let them know where they can get help if they have a problem. We are also funding education programmes aimed at schoolteachers and young people.
Policy and research
RIGT funds research into the treatment and prevention of problem gambling. We contribute to the development of gambling policy, and we act as an information resource for government, the media and the industry who want to understand more about problem gambling.
