"There is help there. It became a serious issue for me. The message is and the targets for me are to stop people getting to where I was since we're providing them tools and we're providing an opportunity if the gaming does get out of control, there is assistance, there's access - you can prohibit yourself from your regional bookie, you can take yourself off the internet if you bet online.


"There are individuals out there, issue gamblers, and we put the check in location that if the betting is impacting your home life, your personal life, your health then there are locations, there are signs and there is lots of guidance.


"There are circumstances now and positions where individuals can deal with that and become responsible gamblers."


Several players in Scotland have actually served bans for breaking gambling rules and club authorities are also restricted from putting bets on football matches.


"I'm not here as a former addict informing individuals to stop gambling," included Hartson. "I am here to assist individuals not to get to where I was.


"It's not for me to inform individuals to stop betting. People will not listen to me. If individuals desire to bet, they'll gamble.


"We're not magicians. It's not a magic wand. If individuals want to stop, they will look for aid. If people do not want to stop, then they just simply will not."
