NCPG: March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month

The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) has announced the observance of Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) throughout March 2025. This year’s theme, “Seeking Understanding,” aims to increase awareness of problem gambling as a serious yet often misunderstood mental health condition. PGAM serves as a crucial platform for improving public understanding, removing barriers to care, and encouraging open conversations about the impact of gambling on individuals, families, and communities.
Cait Huble, NCPG’s Director of Communications, said: “Problem gambling is often described as a ‘hidden addiction,’ and with an estimated 9 million Americans affected, the need for awareness and support has never been greater. By fostering a deeper understanding of the issue, we can encourage empathy, reduce barriers to treatment, and provide support to those affected by gambling-related harm.”
Throughout March, local and national organizations will host special events, offer educational workshops, and engage in local advocacy efforts to advance the two primary goals of PGAM: To increase public awareness of problem gambling and the availability of prevention, treatment and recovery services; and to encourage healthcare providers to screen clients for problem gambling. The observance brings together stakeholders, including public health organizations, advocacy groups, professional sports leagues, and gambling operators.
