Revolutionizing Access to Gambling Support

In the realm of gambling harm, a critical gap exists between those who need help and those who receive it. Research consistently shows that only 10-15% of individuals with gambling harm seek professional help. This leaves a staggering 85-90% without support, representing a silent majority struggling alone. BetBuddy aims to bridge this gap, offering a lifeline to the underserved 80%.
