Immediate Steps

Things You Can Do Right Now

You don't have to solve everything today. But these small actions can start to shift the balance.

Self-Exclude

Most gambling platforms have self-exclusion options. Go to your account settings and activate it. Remove the apps from your phone. Make it harder to access.

Tell Someone

One person. A friend, a sibling, a colleague. Saying it out loud breaks the isolation. You don't need to have a plan - just let someone know.

Face Your Numbers

Use our Reality Calculator to see the real cost. It's painful, but clarity is the starting point for every recovery.

Separate Your Money

Open a separate savings account you can't easily access. Move essential money - rent, food, transport - into it before you're tempted to gamble it.

Write Down Your Debts

Every debt. Every amount owed. It feels overwhelming, but seeing the full picture is the first step to building a repayment plan that actually works.

Call a Helpline

The NRGP helpline (0800 006 008) is free, confidential, and available 24/7. You don't need to be "at rock bottom" to call.

Common Questions

Getting Help - What to Expect

Yes. Everything you share with RESET365 and the helplines listed on this page is completely confidential. We never share personal information with anyone without your explicit consent.
Absolutely. You don't need to be "at rock bottom" to ask for help. If gambling is causing you stress, financial pressure, or affecting your relationships, that's reason enough. Our 2-minute risk assessment can help you understand where you stand.
RESET365 is a financial wellness platform, not a counselling service. We provide tools, education, and community support. For professional counselling, we recommend the NRGP helpline (0800 006 008) or SADAG (0800 567 567) - both are free and confidential.
Start by reaching out to the NRGP helpline - they support families too, not just gamblers. Share this website with your family member when the time feels right. Avoid ultimatums; focus on showing you understand the financial pressure they may be under. RESET365 is designed to be non-judgmental, which can help open the conversation.
