PGAM – Problem Gambling
Approved Caption: Gambling becomes problematic when a person keeps playing despite experiencing negative consequences from their gambling participation. Because they are preoccupied with their gambling activities and are losing control, excessive players will neglect their other responsibilities and activities. They are unable to set or maintain limits related to both time and money.

PGAM – Warning Signs
Approved Caption: While most who choose to gamble can do so responsibly, research suggests that over 5 million adults in the United States are estimated to be experiencing gambling-related problems. In Pennsylvania, this translates to hundreds of thousands of individuals. As more gambling becomes available and participation increases, it is likely that more people may begin to experience problems.

PGAM – Older Adults
Approved Caption: Gambling can become a problem for adults over the age of 65 as easily as any other age group. Older adults are often drawn to the convenience of gambling close to home, being able to begin gambling with low amounts of money and having a safe and pleasant place to go and enjoy some time with friends or alone.
