Behind the bets. In collaboration with the Aquarius Charity. https://aquarius.org.uk/.
In this special episode of the ALERT podcast, I’m joined by Ronnie, and two incredible guests from Aquarius: Tiff and Sam. Together, we shine a light on gambling harm, capital surveillance, poly-use, and the hidden ways addiction affects individuals, families, and communities.
Sam bravely shares his lived experience of gambling addiction, while Tiff explains the growing impact on affected others—particularly the rising number of women being harmed.
We explore the strong correlation between gambling addiction and suicide, the pressures created by targeted advertising, the shame people carry, and why compassionate, trauma-informed support is essential.
This is honest, raw, real talk—exactly what ALERT stands for.
