Jordan Lea started placing bets at 14, and by his late 20s was in huge debt from gambling.
"I just broke down in tears," he said.Jordan Lea says he got addicted to gambling through gaming in his mid-teens, an awareness and education charity on gambling and gaming-related harms in Wales."With online gambling it's on your phone, you have a casino in your pocket. You can do that on the toilet without being seen by anyone."
He believes a "severe lack of education" about the dangers of gambling meant his problems went unacknowledged for years. As a support worker, his "primary concern" is now for young people getting hooked online "through skin betting with crypto websites".
