Is your gambling out of control?

Gamblers in a Las Vegas casino

Nearly three quarters of us gamble each year and between us we spend �63.8m.

Buying lottery tickets, playing roulette in a casino, logging on for a game of online poker - it's all classed as gambling.

Ninety-nine percent of us are responsible gamblers, but around one third of a million people in this country have a problem with gambling.

There are concerns that the New Gambling Act, which has already started

to take effect, might lead to an increase in addicts.

Are you worried that you've become a gambling addict? Maybe you don't think you've got a problem but other people tell you that you have.

Are you related to someone with a gambling problem? Would you like to make a video diary about your experiences?

Real Story is making a programme about gambling and would like your help.
