$0 Goal

The Problem Gambling Center of Colorado (PGCC) is dedicated to supporting individuals, families, and communities impacted by problem gambling and gaming disorder—issues that remain deeply under-recognized, under-funded, and often hidden in silence. Gambling and gaming addictions affect thousands of Coloradans every year, yet Colorado remains one of the few states where specialized treatment and prevention resources are extremely limited. Many individuals struggle alone 😢 unaware that confidential, compassionate, and evidence-based help even exists. 


PGCC programs are all free and provide access to: therapy - financial counseling - essential needs resources - education - peer recovery training - clinical certification training - intervention/support groups - and community-based outreach, ensuring that no one is turned away due to cost. 

Giving Activity

Mission

The Problem Gambling Center of Colorado (PGCC) serves as the state affiliate of the National Council on Problem Gambling and as the state advocate for programs and services that assist all affected by problem gambling throughout Colorado.

Our mission is to increase awareness, advocate for treatment, and promote research and education on problem gambling.

We exist to prevent and reduce the harms caused by problem gambling and gaming disorder, and to ensure that every person impacted—regardless of age, background, or ability to pay—has a safe, stigma-free place to receive help, rebuild stability, and restore hope.

Background Statement

⚠ With sports betting, online casinos, and high-intensity gaming platforms expanding across Colorado, more young adults, teens, and families are being exposed to addictive products than ever before. Yet Colorado invests only a fraction of what is needed to address this growing public-health issue. As a result, many Coloradans face long wait times, limited treatment access, or the devastating consequences of untreated addiction—including job loss, suicide risk, and family instability.

⚠ Unfortunately, the need is rapidly outpacing the resources available. Your donation helps fill that critical gap 💚

By contributing to PGCC, you are providing:

⭐Immediate access to counseling and treatment for individuals who cannot afford care.

⭐Education and prevention programs in schools, colleges, tribal communities, and underserved neighborhoods.

⭐Support for families experiencing emotional, financial, and relational harm due to gambling or gaming addiction.

⭐Community training and professional development to equip providers, teachers, coaches, and employers with the tools to recognize and respond to addiction early.

⭐Research and data-informed programming, ensuring Colorado stays ahead of emerging gambling and gaming risks.

🙏🏼 Every dollar you give strengthens a lifeline that many Coloradans desperately need but rarely know where to find. With your support, PGCC can continue expanding access to care, reducing stigma, and ensuring that every person impacted by gambling or gaming disorder has a safe place to turn.

🤝🏼 Together, we can build a healthier, more informed Colorado—one where individuals and families are supported, empowered, and never left to face addiction alone.
