NAADGS Overview

Guidestar Platinum Seal 2022 NAADGS
NAADGS is a Proud Supporter of the IGCCB

Welcome to the NAADGS, a national membership organization of state administrators of public funds for problem gambling services.

The organization was formed in 2000 under the name of Association of Problem Gambling Service Administrators (APGSA) to support the development of services that will reduce the impact of problem gambling in the United States. In 2021 the APGSA adopted a new name, National Association of Administrators for Disordered Gambling Services (NAADGS).

Central to this mission, NAADGS conducts the only national survey of problem gambling services in the United States providing information on funding, types of services, administrative structures, state profiles, and state contacts.

NAADGS began conducting national problem gambling service surveys in 2006. Surveys conducted 2006-2016 were titled “APGSA” surveys,  indicating that the surveys were conducted by this same agency under its former name. The 2021 NAADGS Survey has been conducted by Problem Gambling Solutions with the same thorough veracity as those which have been conducted in prior years.
