Independent research, content & help for gambling

Educating individuals, organizations, communities, & the public about the impacts of gambling-related issues.

Educating companies, nonprofits, and schools on gambling’s potential for harm.

Gambling harms affect individuals, families, organizations, and communities.

International and independent research shows one person’s gambling problem typically harms five others.

Other studies show that the legalization of online sports gambling has worsened consumer financial health and led to a growing crisis of problem gambling, particularly among youth.

The rapid growth of prediction markets, a form of stock-market-style sports betting, has also added to the harm.

GamblingHarm.org is led by former Forbes Managing Editor Brian Pempus, who for 15 years worked in and alongside the industry before joining the public health movement.
