The National Council on Problem Gambling is the only national nonprofit organization that seeks to minimize the economic and social costs associated with gambling addiction. NCPG is neutral on legalized gambling.
Stakeholder FAQ: The Future of the National Problem Gambling Helpline
These FAQs are intended to provide information and address common questions that may arise as NCPG will be unable to utilize and administer 1-800-GAMBLER as the National Problem Gambling Helpline number after September 29, 2025.
National Executive Director Search
NCPG seeks a dynamic, visionary, and inclusive Executive Director (ED) to lead the organization into its next chapter of growth and impact. The ED will partner with the Board of Directors, members, staff, and other constituencies to advance NCPG’s mission: serving as the national advocate for programs and services to assist people and families affected by problem gambling.
National Survey on Gambling Attitudes and Gambling Experiences 3.0
The third installment of the National Survey on Gambling Attitudes and Gambling Experiences (NGAGE 3.0) shows that nearly 20 million American adults report experiencing at least one problematic gambling behavior “many times” in the past year.
The Layered Approach to Self-Exclusion
Drawing from experience gleaned from the UK’s TalkBanStop partnership, this presentation will explore the value of layering tools and support to improve self-exclusion outcomes. Self-exclusion programs are the beginning of a journey that now encompasses blocking software, treatment providers, financial services and other stakeholders which can all play a role in a much more collaborative approach to gambling cessation. TalkBanStop has been emulated in Ohio, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands, combining free blocking software with self-exclusion and bridging service users into treatment.
