A survey indicates that nearly half of those who gamble excessively have used money intended for Christmas gifts to support their habit.
A survey conducted in the run-up to Christmas for the support service GamCare revealed that half of those who have gambled in the past year at risky levels say they are more likely to experience anxiety or depression.
The charity, which was offering support, said that the results highlighted the difficulties that people who struggled with gambling over the holidays faced.
