Ever wondered why it's so hard to find a phone number for gambling support? In this episode, host Andrew J. Schreier dives into the frustrating reality of how difficult it can be to get a dedicated helpline for gambling issues.

This episode is a passionate call to action for better visibility and support for those affected by gambling. Andrew highlights the stark statistics and the need for a simple phone number like 800-GAMBLER to be more accessible.
He also touches on the broader issue of how gambling support is often overlooked in many professional settings, including mental health and substance abuse counselling.
