Alaska Gambling Addiction Hotline

  • Reviewed by Robert Gerchalk

Alaska is one of only five US states that does not have its own state lottery. Furthermore, no major casinos exist, although there are tribal gaming operations. Around 2.2% of Alaska adults are estimated to have a gambling problem, according to the National Council on Problem Gambling. This is a low percentage compared to the US average of around 6% but still represents almost 15,000 Alaska residents with gambling issues.

Additionally, legislation is already underway for Alaska to legalize sports betting. This could drive the number of Alaskans with gambling issues even higher. Gambling isn’t just an issue in The Last Frontier. It’s an issue nationwide. Fortunately, there’s help available to you, at no cost. Let us help you stop problem gambling today.
