Hi Gamcare
I presume you receive donations from Gambling companies to fund the site?
If so, are they "ad hoc" or based on a certain formula?
As in, if Gamcare get more new annual referrals of new clients, then in turn the gambling industry will tend to donate further?
Many thanks in advance

Hello gra60
The majority of our funding comes from Gamble Aware. Gamble Aware work with the gambling industry to gather donations, which are typically around 0.1% of Gross Gaming Yield (GGY). Gamble Aware use these donations to commission treatment services, and we receive a grant from them for this purpose. Some operators generously donate to us over and above their contribution to Gamble Aware. For more information you can access the Gamble Aware website here:
In terms of numbers in treatment, we are aiming to triple this over the next 3 years, an aspiration shared by Gamble Aware.
