Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling is a serious but often hidden issue that can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It’s more than just financial trouble, it can impact relationships, mental health, and quality of life.

At the Oregon Council on Problem Gambling, we work to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure people understand the signs, risks, and resources available to prevent and address gambling-related harm.
