Illinois Recognizes Gambling as a Health Crisis | St. Louis News
Description
Illinois just made a historic move by legally recognizing gambling disorders as a public health crisis—on par with substance use disorders—thanks to Senate Bill 2749, signed by Governor JB Pritzker. This landmark law empowers the state’s Department of Human Services to deliver coordinated prevention, treatment, and recovery services, while also launching a dedicated hotline and website for families impacted. It’s a bold, multi-pronged strategy to combat the devastating mental and financial toll of gambling addiction—and offers real, immediate help through AreYouReallyWinning.com, 1-800-GAMBLER, or text GAMB to 83334.
