Sands Funds Texas Gambling Help Gap

Sands Funds Texas Gambling Help Gap

Published 3 days, 10 hours ago
Description

Las Vegas Sands just dumped $100K into a Texas nonprofit tackling gambling addiction — a bold move as the state, one of just seven nationwide, offers zero public funding for problem gambling help. Once funded by lottery dollars in the 90s, Texas’s own program was gutted and scrapped, leaving a critical gap. Now, with online betting exploding and young adults drowning in ads and easy access to sports wagers and fantasy games, the nonprofit is racing to train therapists and push for state certification — a lifeline many say is desperately overdue.
