Online gambling is causing a surge in suicidal young men turning to A&E, according to health bosses at the NHS.
A 42% annual rise in demand for NHS gambling clinics has resulted in the health service needing to open another two facilities in England to cope.
According to the clinical lead and consultant psychologist for the NHS Northern Gambling Service Matt Gaskell, the clinics are full of “young men in football shirts” who have fallen foul of “predatory tactics” by betting firms.
