SCOTLAND: actors (f), 35-45, English spkrs, for documentary in Glasgow [P]
For an awareness campaign project.
Overview: Kelly was lured into online gambling while taking time off from her job. A friend recommended bingo sites and Kelly played online as a bit of fun and a way to pass the time while her partner was at work. However, this quickly turned into a devastating addiction when Kelly would go on to play on the slot machines and use credit cards to fund her gambling. After a short period of time, she racked up tens of thousands of pounds in debt all the while keeping her addiction private from friends and family. Kelly is now recovering from her addiction and campaigns to raise awareness for female addicts as gambling is traditionally viewed as a predominately male addiction.
