NCPG Award History

Each year the National Council on Problem Gambling honors individuals and organizations from across the US and the world for their work on problem gambling and responsible gambling with our National Awards, including both Lifetime Awards and Annual Awards.

The NCPG Awards have undergone many changes since they began and the current criteria do not necessarily apply to previous awards. The list below contains the most complete awards information available.
