What is Problemgambling.coms relationship with gaming companies?
A. We firmly believe that the only rational strategy to achieve significant progress in prevention and treatment of problem gambling must be based upon synergy and balance among all stakeholders. The participation of the gaming industry, as an equal partner, is crucial to the success of the entire effort. We find that responsible gaming industry organizations do not desire to capitalize on negative behavior nor do they encourage unlawful or underage gambling. Gaming industry leaders realize that the industry as a whole must act in a socially responsible manner, like any other business that desires to be viable in the long run. Problemgambling.com actively promotes interaction of gaming industry representatives and spokespersons with our other stakeholders, such as government organizations, researchers, counselors, treatment centers, and the public-at-large.
