The NHS is set to open a new clinic on Monday, amid continued demand for services they offer gambling addicts. One former addict, who says he almost lost his life, spoke about the impact such facilities could have.
'I don't know how I'm alive.' Matthew Kettell started gambling when he was at school, as a teenager. But it quickly consumed his life. Eventually, his addiction cost him his marriage, his house, and his job. He stole hundreds of thousands of pounds from his company and went to prison. 'You really think you are going to change your life by winning, and that takes over,' he told Sky News. 'If I'd have carried on gambling it would have definitely killed me.
The Gambling Commission says it is in the process of piloting new ways of assessing a customer's financial vulnerabilities, as part of new government proposals.
