Families supporting someone through recovery from gambling, alcohol or drug use face the same problem every week: they are asked to take a promise on trust after that trust has already been broken several times. A drug screen shows the last few days at best, and gambling leaves nothing to test at all.
An EyeDetect® examination covers a defined period — since the last test, since a set date — and asks precise questions the person has agreed to in advance. It gives the person in recovery a way to be believed, and the family a check that does not rely on searching a phone or a wallet.
This only works when the person being tested genuinely wants it. It is a support tool for someone who has chosen accountability, not a way of policing an adult who has not agreed.
There is no blood or urine test for gambling. Families are left checking bank statements, which only catches what went through a traceable account, and cash, borrowing from friends and crypto all slip past. A properly framed examination can cover any form of gambling within a stated period.
Questions are written with the person being tested so they are specific and fair — for example "since 1 April, have you placed a bet of any kind" rather than something open to interpretation later.
Many families set up a rhythm: an examination every three or six months, on questions agreed by everyone in advance. Knowing the date is coming supports the person in recovery, and a truthful result rebuilds credibility far faster than time alone.
Where repeat testing is agreed in advance we offer a reduced rate for the follow-up appointments. Nobody is locked into a plan; you can stop whenever you decide it has served its purpose.
We will not test anyone under 18, anyone who appears intoxicated, or anyone in acute crisis. If someone is unwell and needs clinical help, a lie detector test is not the answer and we will say so on the phone.
Testing is not a substitute for treatment. It works best alongside proper support — a GP, a recovery service, or a specialist counsellor — not instead of it.
Yes, and it is one of the few practical checks available, because gambling leaves no biological trace. Questions cover any form of betting within a clearly defined period.
It tests whether the person answers truthfully about their use during a stated period. It is not a biological screen, so it can cover far longer periods than a urine or blood test.
Always. Consent is written and given on the day, and we will not proceed if someone is being pressured into it.
That is for the family and the person in recovery to agree. Every three or six months is common, and repeat appointments booked in advance are charged at a reduced rate.
No. We only examine adults aged 18 or over.
Yes. Results go only to the person tested and whoever commissioned the examination, and nothing is shared elsewhere without written instruction.
