Help in Austria
Phone hours are also on the responsible gambling page.
- Spielsuchthilfe
- Counselling for you or for someone you are worried about. Call 01 544 13 57. A first telephone conversation is Monday to Friday, 11:00 to 13:00. Therapy is by appointment, Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 20:00. Their site is in German.
- Stopping
- A limit or self-exclusion you set with one operator stays with that operator. It does not close an account at a casino that operator does not run, and it does not replace counselling. Spielsuchthilfe can talk about the next step.
- Telefonseelsorge
- If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call 142. Telefonseelsorge Österreich is confidential and open every day, around the clock. In immediate danger, call 112.
If you are worried about someone else
Spielsuchthilfe will talk to you even if you are not the person gambling. Call 01 544 13 57. A limit is something the player sets with the operator. Gam-Anon is peer support for people close to someone with a gambling problem. You do not have to wait until they ask.
