SMART Bet

SMART Bet promotes responsible gambling by offering online information, resources, support, and guidance to young people, adults, and communities.

As the volume and variety of gambling options in the United States has grown, so has problem gambling, which affects 4-5% of those who bet. Because gambling has become a more acceptable and even recreational activity, many don’t understand the risks associated with it. SMART Bet can help.

SMART Bet is a training program for the 18 to 24-year-old population that helps promote responsible gambling, identify problem gambling, and offers participants information, resources, support, and guidance.
