National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-GAMBLER)
Hours: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Cost: Free
The National Problem Gambling Helpline — 1-800-GAMBLER — connects you with trained specialists who can listen, talk through what you’re facing, and point you to local resources. It is free, confidential, and available every hour of every day. You can call, text, or chat online, and support is available in English and Spanish.
The helpline is operated by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG). Reaching out does not commit you to anything — many people call simply to talk and understand their options.
