Following the cancellation of sports, it is feared gamblers are turning to addictive online casinos.

Clinical lead Matthew Gaskell said: "There are a range of risk factors in place at the moment: social isolation, boredom, stress, financial and job insecurity and the opportunity to gamble online.

"While a lot of sports betting has stopped, we are expecting a rise in referrals further down the line. It takes time for gambling harm to spread across someone's life and for them to realise they have a problem.
