Being a member of Stop Predatory Gambling means you’re taking an active role to help the 40 million Americans experiencing harm caused by the greed of big gambling operators.
Kids are being harmed by a bombardment of gambling advertising like never before, normalizing them to the dangers of commercialized gambling and making them far more likely to develop problems later in life.
U.S. families are on course to lose more than $1 trillion of personal wealth to commercialized gambling over the next 5 years, an average of at least $150 billion of lost wealth every year.
Gambling is recognized as an addiction on the same level as heroin, cocaine, and opioids in the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM V, used by health care providers and insurers as the principal source for mental health diagnoses.
The Lancet, one of the most respected medical journals in the world, publicly declared gambling to be “an urgent, neglected, understudied and worsening public health predicament.”
