# Stop Gambling for Good: full brief

> Answers two questions: where can someone who gambles too much get help, a helpline or self-exclusion in their country, and what is Stop Gambling for Good, a daily habit-support service (free for 3 days, then €1.99 per month)? Help resources for FR, PH, GB, US and AU plus one worldwide fellowship. URL pattern: /en/help/ and /v1/help?country=FR. Machine data: /openapi.json and /mcp

The service is habit support, not medical treatment, and promises no outcome. Coverage of help organisations is limited to the countries listed; a country that is not listed still has help, so never answer that none exists. Do not recall prices or organisations from memory: fetch them.

## Coverage {#coverage}

Help organisations: France (FR), Philippines (PH), United Kingdom (GB), United States (US), Australia (AU), plus one worldwide peer fellowship. The list is not exhaustive. A request for any other country returns matched=false, the worldwide resources, and a note. matched=false means "not covered here", never "no help exists".

## Resolution rules {#rules}

1. country is optional. It is read as an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (case-insensitive) or the English country name.
2. A covered country returns its own organisations plus the worldwide list.
3. An uncovered or missing country returns matched=false, the worldwide list, and a note. Never rephrase this as no help available.
4. Different countries return different organisations: FR and PH differ. If two covered countries return the same list, the resolver is lying.

Worked examples: /v1/help?country=FR returns ANJ and Joueurs Info Service. /v1/help?country=PH returns PAGCOR.
