Start the conversation for your community group, senior living facility or school group about prevention, the importance of responsible gambling, available resources and treatment. Our presentations include basic information about problem gambling, gaming disorder and the interplay between gambling addiction and other addictions. We have a responsible gambling high school toolkit to help get these important messages out to young people.

Presentations are customized, and in-person and virtual options are available.

If gambling is causing financial stress for you or someone you care about, you don’t have to face it alone. The Minnesota Alliance on Problem Gambling partners with two no-cost financial counseling services, LSS Financial Counseling and GamFin, to help you take control—offering practical guidance, personalized budgeting support and strategies to rebuild financial stability and peace of mind. Whether you’re directly affected by problem gambling or supporting a loved one, expert counselors can help you find a clear path forward.

MNAPG offers no-cost individual subscriptions to Gamban, a self-exclusion tool that allows gamblers to block themselves from accessing thousands of online gambling sites. These one-year subscriptions can be used on up to 15 devices per household. Gamban is available free of charge. 

Community leaders are in a unique position to provide a positive influence on those in their community. Our free problem gambling awareness course helps community leaders in Minnesota educate and advocate for those in their community experiencing problem gambling. The two-part, six-hour course provides training related to gambling addiction, recovery options, and tools and resources to help others. 

For Minnesotans curious to compare their gambling with other Minnesotans, we’ve developed a short survey. This comparative gambling behavior survey will let respondents know if their gambling is in the healthy or unhealthy range.
