Am I a problem gambler?
For most people, gambling can be a way to have fun. For others, however, gambling can lead to personal and financial problems. According to the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), almost 1.8 million adult Iowans gambled during the past 12 months; of that number, an estimated 8,000 adult Iowans could be classified as pathological gamblers in the past 12 months.
People are encouraged to have the conversation about gambling with those they care about. “We know the majority of Iowans who gamble do so because it’s fun and they don’t have any problems as a result of it,” said Eric Preuss of the of the IDPH Office of Problem Gambling Treatment and Prevention. “But studies show 16 percent or 369,000 adult Iowans are classified as ‘at risk’ gamblers - meaning they may have one or more symptoms of problem gambling.”

Instead, it can be successfully treated with a combination of different types of therapy, group support and recovery resources.
