Gamblers Anonymous (GA) offers support for people recovering from gambling problems. It is traditionally held in-person. Restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic required that it transitioned to online meetings. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of GA members in the UK. The researchers wanted to know what GA members thought of attending GA online instead of in-person. The researchers interviewed 21 GA members and identified three themes from the interviews. Theme 1 was the practicalities of GA in lockdown. Theme 2 was the importance of relationships within GA. Theme 3 was the therapeutic elements of the meetings. Cutting across these themes was the tension between the individual versus group identity.
