Find help →Problem gambling is gambling that begins to harm your finances, relationships, work, or wellbeing — and feels hard to control, even when you want to stop. It can affect anyone, and it has nothing to do with willpower or character. It's a recognized health condition, and like other conditions, it responds to support and treatment.
If a few of these feel familiar, you can take a private self-check — it takes about a minute.
A few honest questions, just for you — nothing is saved, shared, or sent anywhere.
Start with national support below — then choose your area for local resource centers and treatment.
You don't have to face this alone — and small steps count.
Families carry this too. Gam-Anon is a support community for the loved ones of people who gamble, and your regional Resource Center can connect families to local counseling anywhere in New York.
