Help in Sweden
Phone hours are also on the responsible gambling page.
- Stödlinjen
- The national line, run by Region Stockholm with support from the Public Health Agency of Sweden. Free, anonymous advice for you or for someone you are worried about. Call 020-81 91 00. Monday 09:00-19:00, Tuesday and Wednesday 09:00-17:00, Thursday 11:00-19:00, Friday 09:00-15:00. Closed Saturday, Sunday, and Swedish public holidays. Advice is in Swedish and English. An interpreter can be arranged. Arabic advice is Thursday 13:00-19:00 on the same number.
- Spelpaus
- Self-exclusion from registered gambling at companies licensed in Sweden, including online casino. Choose 10 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or until you decide otherwise. The open-ended exclusion cannot be ended until 12 months have passed. It does not close an account at a casino outside that register, and it does not replace counselling.
- Självmordslinjen
- If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call 90101. The line is anonymous and open every day, around the clock. In immediate danger, call 112.
If you are worried about someone else
Stödlinjen will talk to you even if you are not the person gambling. Call 020-81 91 00 during its hours. Spelpaus is something the player registers for themselves. Gam-Anon is peer support for people close to someone with a gambling problem. You do not have to wait until they ask.
