This policy explains how AJAG prepares and maintains the guides published on this portal. Every page is written to help readers understand gambling addiction and the paths to getting support.
Topic Selection
Guides are chosen from the questions people ask about gambling addiction help. Topics reflect what readers need to know when recognising a problem, supporting someone close to them or finding the right kind of support. Suggestions are welcomed at [email protected].
Research and Fact-Checking
Each guide draws on public reference works, official sources and recognised organisations in the field of gambling harm. Facts are checked against more than one source wherever possible. Where a guide refers to tools, helplines or national schemes, those details are verified against the organisation's own published information.
Sources are listed under articles as further reading when they add useful context for the reader.
Writing Approach
Guides are written in plain language. Terms are explained where they first appear. Content about gambling is written with safer gambling in mind: no exaggeration, no trivialising of risk and no suggestion that gambling solves problems. The tone is direct and supportive.
Pages do not make claims without a basis, and they do not offer personal advice. What you read here is information; decisions about your own situation or someone else's are yours to make, ideally with professional support.
Independence
AJAG accepts no paid placement and sells nothing to the reader. What is published and how it is presented are decided by the editorial team alone. No outside party influences the choice of topics, the content of guides or the way material is structured.
Updates and Corrections
Guides are reviewed when something material changes—when a helpline number is updated, when a national tool is replaced or when new understanding of a subject makes earlier phrasing unclear. Corrections are made without delay.
Readers who spot an error should write to [email protected] with the page address and the detail that needs attention. Every correction received is assessed and, where warranted, acted on the same day.
Age Restriction
This portal is for people aged eighteen and over. 18+
