A new hot line has been established to connect problem gamblers or their families with immediate assistance.
The hot line, 1-866-NO-BET 00, is managed by the Mental Health Consortium under contract with the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services.
It will connect Kansans who have concerns about gambling behavior with counselors specifically trained and certified to work with the issue of compulsive gambling.
SRS used funds from a problem gambling grant established by the 2000 Kansas Legislature to set up the hot line and train counselors.
