Source priority for state resources
- NCPG Help by State and the National Problem Gambling Helpline.
- Official state regulator, health department, lottery, gaming commission or self-exclusion page.
- Official state-funded treatment or referral program.
- Peer-support resources when clearly identified as peer support, not treatment.
- Third-party summaries only as secondary context, never as proof.
Which resource route fits your situation?
| Situation | Start with | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| You need support or a local referral now. | NCPG Helpline or Help by State. | It routes support; it is not legal or financial advice. |
| You need to block gambling access. | Official state self-exclusion page or operator program. | Coverage varies by state, product, operator and venue. |
| You need professional treatment referral. | State health, treatment referral source or licensed provider directory. | Eligibility, cost and availability vary. |
| You are helping a family member. | Family support and help-by-state resources. | Do not diagnose or take control of another person's accounts without appropriate help. |
State resource record format
Each state entry should use safe record fields and point back to official sources.

| Help route | Phone, text, chat, referral page or state resource page where officially listed. |
| Self-exclusion route | Only if official program details are available and verified. |
| Last checked | Date the official source was reviewed. |
