Some students may gamble seeking fun and enjoyment, but some may be struggling with their gambling. Students may be feeling the growing pressure of classes and peers, so they may escape through gambling. Some may also be using gambling as a method to deal with depression or anxiety.

If you find yourself struggling with gambling harm, or if you suspect someone you know is facing such challenges, don’t hesitate to seek help. For 24/7 support, call the NYS OASAS HOPEline at 1-877-846-7369 or text 467369. Or choose your county using our interactive map on our NYProblemGamblingHELP.org HOME PAGE to see the contact information for the Problem Gambling Resource Center (PGRC) in your region.
