The Gambling and Debt pathfinder study was funded by GamCare and the Money Advice Trust, and supported by the Salvation Army. This study critically examines the nature of the relationship between gambling and debt. This has been achieved by investigating the wider social issues associated with gambling-related debt in order to understand the strategies used by individuals and families coping with gambling-related debt and exploring the help-seeking strategies employed by problem gamblers and debtors. The report contains research findings and analysis plus recommendations for future action and research.
