Problem Gamblers Sites

Problem Gambler Sites Gambling is a competition that most players enjoy as a hobby or (more likely) just another form of entertainment. These players suffer no ill effects from betting some fraction of their wealth for a bit of an adrenaline rush or just a chance to match wits with other gamblers with a stake on the line.

But some gamblers are unable to stop at a healthy level of gambling. One bet turns into another until the problem gambler's wagers begin to negatively affect their life and the life of their family. For those gamblers or the family of such gamblers, I've included a list with 14 different "problem gambler" sites.

This sites provide support for problem gamblers and their families, including counseling, message boards and local support groups. To show that gambling addiction support and assistance is found in most communities, I've included examples of local "problem gambling groups" in America, Canada and New Zealand.
