About OAPGG

The Oklahoma Association on Problem Gambling & Gaming (OAPGG) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation.  It is a standing policy of OAPGG to take no position for or against legalized gambling.

OAPGG is funded by contributions from the State of Oklahoma, the gambling industry, corporations, and donations from private citizens.  The goal of OAPGG is to provide education and training regarding problem gambling and gaming for health care providers, increase public awareness within the state concerning the problems associated with disordered gambling and gaming, provide information about problem gambling to all concerned individuals, conduct research in areas related to problem gambling, and develop prevention and education programs for all residents of Oklahoma.

Our ongoing focus is helping the community respond to those individuals and their families devastated by addictive gambling and gaming.  If you or someone you know has a gambling or gaming problem, please call the national toll-free helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER or contact OAPGG at 405-801-3329.  All calls are strictly confidential.
