Gambling, legal or otherwise, negatively impacts many millions of people in the U.S. on a daily basis.

The expansion of state-sanctioned sports betting since 2018 has fueled a new wave of compulsive betting. We believe in educating people on the risks of betting. While not everyone who bets will develop a problem, we recommend abstaining from gambling for at-risk individuals.

We are focused on the U.S. and are not affiliated with any other advocacy group. We do not accept donations of any kind from any business in the broad gambling industry.
