The Association of Problem Gambling Service Administrators (APGSA) is a national organization, formed in 2000, to help state governments facilitate an informed and unified voice for the development of state-of-the-art publicly funded problem gambling services.

With the increase of legalized gambling opportunities worldwide, the need for social services to address problem gambling has intensified. In response, many states have developed a range of services for prevention, intervention and treatment. In the absence of Federal coordinating efforts, the APGSA assists members to maximize the effectiveness of the services they fund through information sharing, advocacy, research and peer consultation.

This site provides an overview of publicly funded programs in the United States that includes a member states map to access detailed program information, a resource library, links to related web sites and contact information for members and APGSA representatives. We encourage visitors to use these contacts for the most up to date information about each state's programs.

For more information please contact any of the member organizations or the APGSA President, Mark Vander Linden, at (515) 281-8802 or mark.vanderlinden@idph.iowa.gov
