In rural towns and villages a lot of people wouldn't be aware of support available.
People are embarrassed to access support that is available. This can be down to shame especially in small areas. 
As mentioned, COVID-19 has stopped all face to face support, therefore people may be less likely to go online or on chat forums because help isn't as readily available.
There is good support available online, it provides early interventions such as setting yourself limits of time and money and sticking to them, keep a record of everything you gamble, including all wins and losses that result. lastly avoiding lying about gambling to your friends and family.

Compared to most other addictive behaviours, involving drugs or alcohol for example, gambling is largely ignored by health services and public health agencies. This is partly because gambling is a hidden concern. It does not manifest with physical warning signs. ]]> 2021-04-01 09:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rstevenson201/gqypowryvwbajws6/wish/1374824062 rstevenson201 https://padlet.com/rstevenson201/gqypowryvwbajws6/wish/1374831045 All TV advertisements for betting have bet aware disclaimers but does not really give any information on support available.
