A charity says it is preparing for a post-Euros spike in calls for help from gamblers struggling with the combination of lockdown and a summer of sport.
GamCare said the full impact of the Euros was still unknown, but it was preparing for an increase in requests for help over the coming months from gamblers already vulnerable following lockdown.
GamCare said its helpline advisers, who operate the National Gambling Helpline, have had to call the emergency services for people who had directly related their situation to the Euros.
