As sports betting becomes more popular, more people are looking online for help with gambling problems. As of 2024, 38 states had legal sportsbooks, and a recent study found that searches for terms like "gambling addiction" and "gambling hotline" went up as much as 50-percent in states shortly after sports gambling started. Experts think that as betting gets easier to access, more people might develop gambling issues. The National Council on Problem Gambling’s helpline is 1-800-GAMBLER, and Gamblers Anonymous has a list of hotlines for each state on its website, where it also has a questionnaire to help people figure out if they have a gambling problem.
