Awareness | Advocacy| Resources

Gambling addiction can have severe consequences on individuals, families, and communities. Our mission is to cultivate awareness, empower the youth, and advocate for responsible behaviors to combat gambling harm.

Through our Awareness and Education programs, we equip individuals, particularly youth, with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions and prevent the harmful effects of gambling.

Our partnership with gambling-blocking software, GamBan, offers an accessible solution to protect devices from accessing gambling content.

We also work to help members harmed by gambling to recover and find hope again. Together, we light the way towards a brighter future, free from the negative effects of gambling addiction.

Testimonial

"

Wonderful work Gaming Awareness is doing especially creating awareness in tournaments among young football players and fans, sensitizing them that gambling does not need to go hand in hand with sports. This protects the integrity of our sports.
