Gambling Insight – support for gamblers and their families

Gambling Insight is a free app for those of you who feel that gambling has become a problem, and for those of you who are relatives of someone who gambles. The app offers anonymous, easily accessible and non-judgmental support, regardless of where you are in your situation.

Gambling can affect finances, relationships, mental well-being and everyday life. For many, it is difficult to seek help due to shame, guilt or fear. Gambling Insight is developed to lower the threshold for support and provide the opportunity for reflection and insight at your own pace.

The app is based on experiences from people with their own gambling problems as well as proven psychological methods, in dialogue with professionals in healthcare, research and civil society.

For those of you who gamble

Gambling Insight is aimed at both at-risk gamblers and people who experience a more developed gambling addiction. You do not need to know how serious your gambling is to use the app.

In the app, you can make anonymous self-assessments that help you understand your gambling and identify patterns over time. You can reflect on triggers, thoughts and consequences, and take part in daily tasks and exercises that strengthen motivation and impulse control.

The app also provides the opportunity to keep a diary, share knowledge about gambling addiction and relapse, use tools that reduce access to gambling, and participate in anonymous forums with others in a similar situation.

For relatives

Gambling addiction often also affects loved ones. Partners, family members and friends can be affected emotionally, relationally and financially.

Game Insight therefore has a clear focus on relatives. The app contains content that helps you understand gambling addiction and its mechanisms, as well as support in issues related to boundary setting, communication and self-care.

Family members can also take part in anonymous forums to share experiences and receive support from others in a similar situation.

Content and functions

Game Insight can be used anonymously. The app does not collect more information than necessary and never sells user data.

Self-tests and reflection exercises help you see patterns and track change over time. Daily tasks provide structure in everyday life and are designed to be easy to complete.

The app also contains practical tools, such as the ability to block gaming-related apps and websites, as well as discreet reminders to support you in your everyday life. Forums and community functions are anonymous and moderated.

Who is Spelinsikt suitable for

Spelinsikt is for those who are thinking about their gaming habits, those who want to reduce or stop gambling, those who are sober and want to prevent relapse, and those who are relatives of someone who gambles.

The app does not replace professional care, but can serve as a first step, a complement to treatment or as long-term support.

Important information

Spelinsikt is not an emergency support service. In the event of a serious crisis or suicidal thoughts, you should contact 112, 1177 or other emergency care.

The content is intended as support for self-help and reflection, and is not a substitute for medical or therapeutic treatment.
