What helplines exist for gambling problems?

The National Council on Problem Gambling helpline is available 24/7 at 1-800-522-4700 (call or text) and via live chat at ncpgambling.org. Gamblers Anonymous (gamblersanonymous.org) offers free peer support meetings in-person and online. Most states have their own hotlines as well. If you are in crisis, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline also helps with gambling-related distress.
