New service to support women experiencing gambling harm in effort to reduce 'stigma around gambling'

Research from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) has suggested 2.9% of the female population in Ireland is affected by harmful gambling. This figure has risen tenfold since 2019.

A first-of-its-kind service to support women experiencing gambling harm has been established.

Statistics suggest a disproportionately low number of women seek help for problem gambling.
