Description:
The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) serves as the national advocate to mitigate gambling-related harm. Our vision is to advance well-being by minimizing harm from problem gambling.
Since 1972, the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) has led state and national stakeholders in developing comprehensive policies and programs for all affected by problem gambling. From its outset, NCPG established two guiding principles that remain in effect today: that the organization advocates for those affected by problem gambling and takes no position for or against legalized gambling.
NCPG’s vision is to advance well-being by minimizing harm from gambling problems. Its mission is to lead awareness and advocacy efforts to reduce gambling harm. Guided by its core values of Neutrality, Collaboration, Respect, and Credibility, NCPG works with national and global companies in gambling and professional sports, prevention and health providers, government, and the recovery community.
