THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RECEIVES APPROX. $7.5B IN TAX INCOME FROM GAMBLING EACH YEAR. 683996 384867 NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING AND GAMBLING ADDICTION - NCPG PRODUCES THE OLDEST AND LARGEST ANNUAL PROBLEM GAMBLING CONFERENCE IN THE WORLD. OVER 600 COUNSELORS AND TREATMENT PROFESSIONALS, STATE ADMINISTRATORS, PREVENTIONISTS, RESEARCHERS, REGULATORS, GAMBLING INDUSTRY AND LOTTERY EXECUTIVES, PEOPLE IN RECOVERY, LOVED ONES AND OTHER INTERESTED GROUPS ATTEND EACH YEAR FOR TRAINING AND CONTINUING EDUCATION. IN 2023 IT WAS HELD IN WASHINGTON, DC. THE LOCATION CHANGES EVERY YEAR TO OFFER EASIER ACCESS TO ALL REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY IN TURN. NCPG AND ITS PARTNERS OFFER A PROGRAM OF BOTH CUTTING-EDGE AND EVERGREEN TOPICS WITH HEADLINING SPEAKERS AND SESSIONS IN PREVENTION, EDUCATION, TREATMENT, ENFORCEMENT, RESEARCH, RECOVERY, REGULATION AND RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING, INCLUDING SPORTS BETTING AND NATIVE AMERICAN (TRIBAL) GAMING. 8180 432 NCPG PROVIDES THE NATIONAL PROBLEM GAMBLING HELPLINE NETWORK (1-800-GAMBLER), MAKING LOCAL HELP FOR PROBLEM GAMBLING JUST ONE CALL AWAY ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. THE HELPLINE RECEIVES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CALLS EACH YEAR, INSTANTLY ROUTED TO ONE OF 28 STATE OR REGIONAL CALL CENTERS, WHICH ARE OPERATED BY NCPG AFFILIATES, STATE AGENCIES, AND/OR VENDORS. THE NCPG HELPLINE IS THE ONLY SUCH '911' SERVICE IN THE U.S. FOR PEOPLE DEALING WITH GAMBLING PROBLEMS (INCLUDING FAMILY AND LOVED ONES) AND IS THE ONLY ACCESS TO HELP IN MANY STATES. THIS IS IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY WHERE CASINOS ARE CLUSTERED ON STATE BORDERS, WHERE THE STATE THAT AUTHORIZED THE CASINO MAY PROVIDE SERVICES FOR ITS OWN RESIDENTS, BUT THE NEIGHBORING STATE DOESN'T PROVIDE ANY SERVICES FOR ITS RESIDENTS WHO CROSSED THE BORDER TO GAMBLE. SIMILARLY, SPORTS EVENTS AND THEIR SPORTS-BETTING ADS ARE BROADCAST ACROSS STATE LINES AND OFTEN REACH INTO AREAS WHERE THERE ARE NO PROBLEM GAMBLING SERVICES. NCPG IS THE ONLY NATION-WIDE PROVIDER OF SERVICES AND TRAINING TO FACILITATE ACCESS AND TREATMENT FOR GAMBLING PROBLEMS. WE ALSO PROVIDE EXPANDED HELPLINE SERVICES VIA TEXTING AND ONLINE CHAT IN ALL 50 STATES, UTILIZING THE MOBILE DEVICES THAT ARE NOW SO POPULAR BOTH FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND MOBILE GAMBLING, ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNGER PEOPLE. SOME STATE AGENCIES OR AFFILIATES REIMBURSE NCPG FOR SOME OF THESE COSTS, BUT MOST DO NOT, AND NCPG RECEIVES NO FEDERAL FUNDING. THIS NATIONWIDE SERVICE IS COMPLETELY FUNDED BY NCPG'S MEMBERS AND DONORS, INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE PART OF OUR LEADERSHIP CIRCLE.IN 2023, NCPG RELEASED A TOOLKIT TO FACILITATE THE PROMOTION OF THE NATIONAL PROBLEM GAMBLING HELPLINE, 1-800-GAMBLER.
