Support & Resources
Independent help, listed before anything commercial.
Why this page comes first
If you are here because something has stopped feeling manageable, the useful thing is a real person, not a link that pays us. This page is the free and independent routes, and nothing on it is a partner placement.
How to use it
Start with the resource closest to what you are actually dealing with. You do not need to be in crisis to use any of them, and you do not need to have a diagnosis, a label, or a tidy explanation of what is going on.
What we cannot do
We cannot assess you, refer you, or intervene. We publish education and self-reflection material, and we point at the people who do the rest.
If you are in immediate danger
Contact your local emergency number. A website is the wrong tool for an emergency, and there is no version of this page that changes that.
- National Council on Problem Gambling (United States) — Runs the 1-800-522-4700 helpline — free, confidential, 24/7, and not affiliated with any operator.
- Gamblers Anonymous — A free, peer-support fellowship with in-person and online meetings, unaffiliated with any commercial operator.
- SAMHSA National Helpline (United States) — Free, confidential, 24/7 referral service covering gambling-related distress alongside other concerns.
- eCOGRA — independent game testing and RTP auditing — An independent testing body that audits and certifies RTP and fairness for licensed operators — a useful reference for how RTP figures are actually verified.
Nothing on this page is a partner link, on any page of this site.
