WE PUBLISHED A WHITE PAPER WITH DETAILED FINDINGS FROM NGAGE 1.0. AND WE IMPLEMENTED A FOLLOW-UP SURVEY (NGAGE 2.0) THAT PROVIDES FOLLOW-UP AND BASELINE DATA WITH VALUABLE INSIGHTS FOR CRAFTING EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS. IN THE FUTURE, BOTH CAN BE USED TO ANALYZE CHANGES IN GAMBLING BEHAVIOR AS SPORTS BETTING BECOMES LEGAL IN MORE STATES AND LEGALIZED GAMBLING CONTINUES TO EXPAND IN GENERAL IN THE U.S.CONTRIBUTIONS IN SUPPORT OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE INTEGRAL TO THEIR EXISTENCE, AS NCPG RECEIVES NO FEDERAL FUNDING AND MOST STAKEHOLDERS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE ACTUAL COSTS OF CONFERENCE REGISTRATION AND THESE AWARENESS PROGRAMS.

  • NCPG PROVIDES THE NATIONAL PROBLEM GAMBLING HELPLINE NETWORK (1-800-GAMBLER), MAKING LOCAL HELP FOR PROBLEM GAMBLING JUST ONE CALL AWAY ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. THE HELPLINE RECEIVES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CALLS EACH YEAR, INSTANTLY ROUTED TO ONE OF 28 STATE OR REGIONAL CALL CENTERS, WHICH ARE OPERATED BY NCPG AFFILIATES, STATE AGENCIES, AND/OR VENDORS. THE NCPG HELPLINE IS THE ONLY SUCH '911' SERVICE IN THE U.S. FOR PEOPLE DEALING WITH GAMBLING PROBLEMS (INCLUDING FAMILY AND LOVED ONES) AND IS THE ONLY ACCESS TO HELP IN MANY STATES. THIS IS IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY WHERE CASINOS ARE CLUSTERED ON STATE BORDERS, WHERE THE STATE THAT AUTHORIZED THE CASINO MAY PROVIDE SERVICES FOR ITS OWN RESIDENTS, BUT THE NEIGHBORING STATE DOESN'T PROVIDE ANY SERVICES FOR ITS RESIDENTS WHO CROSSED THE BORDER TO GAMBLE. SIMILARLY, SPORTS EVENTS AND THEIR SPORTS-BETTING ADS ARE BROADCAST ACROSS STATE LINES AND OFTEN REACH INTO AREAS WHERE THERE ARE NO PROBLEM GAMBLING SERVICES. NCPG IS THE ONLY NATION-WIDE PROVIDER OF SERVICES AND TRAINING TO FACILITATE ACCESS AND TREATMENT FOR GAMBLING PROBLEMS. WE ALSO PROVIDE EXPANDED HELPLINE SERVICES VIA TEXTING AND ONLINE CHAT IN ALL 50 STATES, UTILIZING THE MOBILE DEVICES THAT ARE NOW SO POPULAR BOTH FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND MOBILE GAMBLING, ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNGER PEOPLE. SOME STATE AGENCIES OR AFFILIATES REIMBURSE NCPG FOR SOME OF THESE COSTS, BUT MOST DO NOT, AND NCPG RECEIVES NO FEDERAL FUNDING. THIS NATIONWIDE SERVICE IS COMPLETELY FUNDED BY NCPG'S MEMBERS AND DONORS, INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE PART OF OUR LEADERSHIP CIRCLE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
