Sucht Schweiz Launches “Gambling without Addiction” Campaign

Sucht Schweiz, an independent Swiss foundation, has launched the Gambling without Addiction campaign.

The campaign was launched across 16 German-speaking Swiss cantons. The initiative includes advice for gamblers who show signs of problem gambling behaviour or gambling addiction, including setting limits on their gambling spending or self-exclusion for a certain period of time.

The Gambling without Addition campaign offers on its website information about the various options available before gamblers or their loved ones who seek help.

The website of the new initiative offers a helpline for German speakers. The service is free. Swiss non-German speakers can too receive assistance as campaign creators say they can provide interpreters if they are needed.
