#behindthebet
Gambling harm affects millions worldwide, and raising awareness about the impact is a crucial step toward supporting those who are struggling. Gordon Moody, the leading charity dedicated to helping individuals affected by gambling addiction, is proud to present International Gambling Harms Awareness Day 2025.
This day is a powerful annual reminder that gambling harm is not just about losing money — it’s about the damage to mental health, relationships, finances and futures. On this important day, we aim to open hearts and minds, provide vital resources, and inspire action.
What Is International Gambling Harms Awareness Day?
International Gambling Harms Awareness Day is a global movement dedicated to raising awareness about the risks of gambling addiction and the harm it can cause to individuals, families, and communities.
The year’s campaign theme is #behindthebet and will focus on the emotional, financial, and social toll that gambling addiction can take on a person’s life as well as those around them.
By sharing knowledge, starting conversations, and promoting understanding, we can break down the stigma surrounding gambling harm and support those who need help. This day serves as a reminder that people are not alone, and that help is available through organisations like ours.
