News, analysis, & guides about gambling harm

Educating individuals, organizations, communities, & the public about the impacts of gambling-related financial harm.

Helping your company, organization, nonprofit, or school educate on gambling’s potential for harm

We educate a wide range of people and groups on the financial impacts of gambling. These harms affect individuals, families, organizations, and communities.

International and independent research shows one person’s gambling problem typically harms five others.

Other studies show that the legalization of online sports gambling has worsened consumer financial health and led to a growing crisis of problem gambling, particularly among youth.

The rapid growth of prediction markets, a form of stock-market-style sports betting, has also added to the harm.

GamblingHarm.org is led by former Forbes Managing Editor Brian Pempus, who for 15 years worked in and alongside the industry before joining the public health movement.

We are here to prevent gambling-related harm in North America and beyond.
