Problem Gambling and the Law
An Information and Resource Guide

Referred to by the contributing experts as simply the ‘Legal Guide’, PROBLEM GAMBLING AND THE LAW is a 22 page publication that speaks as effectively to legal and clinical professionals as it does to problem gamblers and their family members.

The guide covers a broad range of information from definition & diagnosis to crime, courts & community resources. Practical resources and sample tools give the guide a ‘hands-on’ feel, with additional perspective provided by narratives from problem gamblers and their family members who have experienced the challenges and benefits of recovery firsthand.
