The Gordon House Association, UK charity specialising in the rehabilitation of addicted gamblers, is launching http://www.gamblingtherapy.org, an information and counselling Internet helpline for problem gamblers, on 5 November 2004.

The Association has decided to take this step because of the rapid rise in the number of individuals who are having problems as a result of their Internet-based gambling.

The gambling industry has been exploiting the Internet and other interactive media and many, especially the younger generations, are now more exposed to the temptations of instant gambling, said the Gordon House spokesperson.
