GamCare continues its work on protecting UK gamblers from the risks of consuming gambling-related debts, announcing that it has begun to trail referrals with PayPlan. The harm prevention and treatment support charity has launched a pilot initiative connecting its users with debt advice specialists trained by PayPlan.
