ICRG Research on Gambling Industry Employees

Funding for research on the health and wellbeing of gambling industry employees.

The International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG), formerly the National Center for Responsible Gaming (NCRG), is a US-based 501(c)(3) charitable organisation that was founded in 1996. Its mission is to help individuals and families affected by gambling disorder by supporting peer-reviewed, scientific research into gambling disorder; encouraging the application of new research findings to improve prevention, diagnostic, intervention and treatment strategies; and advancing public education about gambling disorder and responsible gaming.

With gambling industry employees, both land-based and online, exposed to gambling, alcohol use and smoking on a regular basis, the ICRG wants to examine the potential adverse effects of working in the industry. Applications are invited for research projects that will study the possible gambling related harms and other potential risks to health, of working in the gambling industry.

One grant will be awarded.
