People are turning to gambling
to help them with the cost of living crisis – from trying to win money to pay bills to using betting shops as warm banks, a gambling charity has said. The charity GamCare said that while this was likely to exacerbate
financial stresses, research found four in 10 (42%) problem gamblers believed gambling would improve their financial situation in the next year compared with just 7% of UK adults.
