When Gambling Stops Being A Game

Problem gambling can lead to financial ruin, legal problems, loss of career and family, or even suicide. Much like a dependency on alcohol, the need to gamble may become the most important activity in the life of someone who gambles excessively.

However, problem gambling is treatable and help is available. This section of the website provides important information that will help people recognize the warning signs for problem gambling, the programs, services and resources which are available to assist problem gamblers and their families.
