Shining A Light on Problem Gambling

With the rapid expansion of gambling and the record-breaking introduction of mobile sports betting, there is no better time to bring the issue of problem gambling to the forefront. The New York Council on Problem Gambling (NYCPG) and its seven regional Problem Gambling Resource Centers (PGRCs) are calling on everyone to “shine the light” on problem gambling during Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) during March 2023.

The Council’s newest effort, and a driving force behind this year’s Shine the Light theme, involves several notable places in New York joining NYCPG and its PGRCs to recognize March as Problem Gambling Awareness Month by illuminating local landmarks. Not only are we shining the light on the issue of problem gambling, we also want that light to be a beacon for anyone who might be negatively affected by a gambling problem – there is hope and help! If you or someone you know is experiencing things like distress, financial problems, or relationship conflicts because of gambling, contact us for confidential support.

We understand the importance of peer support when it comes to problem gambling. Listening and learning from someone with lived experience is a valuable asset to someone’s recovery journey. We are so fortunate to have so many partners in recovery with lived experience who are willing to listen to others and share their experiences with others.
