It may happen, in some cases, to be exposed to the risk of developing a gambling problem due to improper behavior or an unbalanced approach.
In such cases, the National Toll-Free Number for gambling-related problems should be immediately contacted. The service, which is managed by Italy’s Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Higher Institute of Health), is anonymous and free, and is not only intended for players, allowing them to get in touch with and seek the help of professionals, but is open to anyone who wishes to receive information about the health services dedicated to the treatment of gambling-related problems.
Furthermore, the Istituto Superiore di Sanità has launched a website called ‘Uscire dal Gioco’ (https://usciredalgioco.iss.it). The platform is conceived to provide concrete indications such as information, support and assistance to players and their families that want to begin a new changing path and to be oriented towards healthcare services dedicated to the treatment of gambling disorder.
