Reclaim Control of Your Finances and Your Future

We’ll show you how to:

  • Manage your debt

    Break free from gambling debt. Rebuild your financial foundation.

  • Gain clarity

    Understand your full financial picture, where your money is going, and what’s holding you back.

  • Build a plan

    Create a financial recovery plan that moves you forward and restores hope.

If you or your loved ones are struggling with gambling-related financial problems, we offer financial counseling that can relieve the pressure – at no cost where we have a state contract in place.

We Have Three Options to Support You

Option 1. One-On-One Virtual Financial Counseling

Work with a financial counselor to regain financial stability. In confidential, one-on-one sessions, you'll build a realistic budget and create a plan to manage debt without judgment or pressure.

In partner states, sessions are funded by state government programs and are available at no cost to you.

You can join a no-cost group session to listen, learn, and connect with others in a safe space online. There’s no pressure to participate or share. You’re welcome to simply observe and take in information at your own pace.

Group sessions are open to everyone in the U.S. and offer an easy way to get started - whether you're still exploring your options or simply want to learn more about GamFin and financial recovery from gambling.

Option 3. GamFin Guardian App

Financial counseling helps you make a plan. Guardian helps you stick to it.

GamFin Guardian works like fraud alerts, but for gambling-related transactions. Connect your bank and credit card accounts, and Guardian watches for gambling activity and quietly notifies the trusted people you choose, a partner, a family member, a peer, or your counselor.

It's an extra layer of accountability for anyone quitting or cutting back, because financial transparency is essential to keeping recovery on track and rebuilding trust over time.

Bank-level security. You decide who gets notified, and what they see.

You Are Not Alone

Gambling addiction doesn't discriminate - it affects millions of people worldwide, regardless of income, education, or background.

The American Psychiatric Association recognizes gambling disorder as a real condition: a pattern of repeated betting that continues despite causing serious financial problems and emotional distress in multiple areas of life.

Most importantly, you don't have to face gambling-related financial problems alone. Help is available, and recovery is possible.

Testimonials

  • GamFin helped me understand the steps I needed to take to fix tax issues when I didn’t know where to turn. The thought of dealing with overdue taxes felt overwhelming, but my counselor approached everything with understanding and without an ounce of shame. She guided me through the process step by step, making it manageable and helping me regain control. Thanks to her support and understanding, I’m back on track and finally feel a sense of relief and confidence moving forward.

    Christina C

  • "I really like my financial counselor, Yvonne. I shared my financial background with her, and there was no judgement from her. She made me feel very comfortable and offered good suggestions. She seemed like she really cared. She even gave me advice on how to cut back my spending at restaurants and offered ideas on cheaper, healthier alternatives. I felt like she saw me as a whole person instead of just focusing on my finances."

    George C

  • "I work with a GamFin counselor. I absolutely love him! He just got approval to continue counseling me. I use the Money Tracker he created for me once a week. I've always had a debt spreadsheet where I tracked my debt but I never tracked my spending. Nor have I ever had a budget. This Money Tracker captures everything. I look forward to our next meeting on Friday."

    Hannah L

  • Dr. Hampton's empathy, intelligence, and firmness were invaluable.

    Emily N

  • "I have had 3 sessions with Janice from GamFin and their service is so wonderful and has truly helped my anxiety so much, which is my biggest trigger. I look at my finances, get anxiety because I want to solve my issues now, and I gamble. She has really helped us break it down and curb our spending and helped me look at the broader picture."

    Nick M

  • I liked the ease of making a plan. When my head is spinning because of the numbers, I am calmed by Janice’s expertise.

    Hannah B

  • "I just want to say THANK YOU for this recommendation. My state wasn’t listed but they work with people here! (New Mexico) It’s been incredible to confront and tell someone out loud about finances, and receive support to create a realistic plan to tackle debts … and in an encouraging and nonjudgmental manner."

    Emma N

  • The counselor was beyond helpful, not only with financial advice but gambling-related advice. She pointed me in the right direction for finding a counselor to speak with about my addiction and how to get my finances in order permanently.

    Sam W

  • "I'm always worried about my son's gambling and financial problems, especially his credit score. GamFin has helped me understand that there is a way out of debt without getting scammed by loan consolidators and lenders. I feel 100% better now after talking with the financial counselor at GamFin. I'm confident they can help him make good decisions and give him some hope out of his financial mess."

    Jackie T

    Max F
