Reveal The Truth
The Truth
- Kids are being harmed by a bombardment of gambling advertising, normalizing them to the dangers of commercialized gambling and making them far more likely to develop problems later in life.
- U.S. families are on course to lose more than $1 trillion of personal wealth to commercialized gambling over the next 8 years, an average of at least $120 -$130 billion of lost wealth every year.
- Gambling is now recognized as an addiction on the same level as heroin, cocaine, and opioids in the American Psychological Association’s DSM V, used by health care providers and insurers as the principal source for mental health diagnoses.
- The Lancet, one of the most respected medical journals in the world, publicly declared gambling to be “an urgent, neglected, understudied and worsening public health predicament.”

Who We Are
- Our members work to reveal the truth behind commercialized gambling operators to prevent more victims.
- A 501c3 non-profit based in Washington, DC, we are a national advocacy network of individuals and partner groups with members in all 50 states.
- We are one of the most diverse organizations in the United States, one in which citizens of all political stripes and life circumstances, from every corner of the country, work side-by-side.
- Our funding comes from the selfless giving of every member of our national board; individual donations from hundreds of concerned citizens as well as people with the lived experience of predatory gambling from across the entire United States; gifts from a few smaller foundations; and support from members belonging to every major faith group in the country. We don't accept funding from commercialized gambling interests.
What We Do

In 2022 alone, we were interviewed by and provided background research to more than 110 international, national and regional journalists and documentary filmmakers and more than 1030 journalists since 2010.
- We produce fact sheets, op-eds, webinars, white papers, and other educational materials on the various forms of commercialized gambling being marketed to the American people today and the severe harms that more than 40 million Americans are experiencing because of it.
- We support and collaborate with our members, either in person or virtually, including more than 1600 citizen leaders and groups running their own affiliated efforts across all 50 states.
- We present expert testimony before Congress, state legislatures, local governments, and other public agencies and commissions on why commercialized gambling should be dealt with the same way we deal with other dangerous and harmful industries.
