Florida’s problem gambling support platform
Resources for Florida residents struggling with casino gaming, sports betting, lottery, and more.
Because knowing when to quit isn’t easy.
UF Health reports that the percentage of problem gamblers in Florida is approximately double that of the national average, with 5.2% of Floridians considered to be at risk of becoming problem gamblers (compared to 2.3%).
Despite comparatively strict regulations regarding gambling, it’s suggested that Florida’s high prevalence rates may be related to higher concentrations of at-risk populations. For instance, Florida has a large military presence, ranking 3rd in the Union for having a large veteran population and significant number of active-duty military personnel and bases.
Florida also has a large college student population, ranking as the fourth-largest in the Nation with an annual enrollment of about 850,000 young adults. These two populations (military and collegiate) have disproportionately high rates of problem gambling and contribute to the thousands of monthly online inquiries for “gambling addiction help near me” in Florida.
In response, Playwise has put together a platform that residents can use, regardless of demographic, socioeconomic status, and form of gambling that they struggle with.
