Help

If the bet is the problem, stop here

Wisconsin has its own helpline. Use it. This page is not treatment and not a substitute for 988 if someone is in crisis.

Snapshot · 18 October 2026

Wisconsin Council on Problem Gambling

24-hour helpline: 1-800-426-2535 (1-800-GAMBLE-5). Text 850-888-4673. Chat and referrals: wi-problemgamblers.org. The call is free and confidential. The council can point to counselors, Gamblers Anonymous, and Gam-Anon.

National Problem Gambling Helpline

NCPG: 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738) and 1-800-522-4700. NCPG adopted 1-800-MY-RESET as the National Problem Gambling Helpline on 29 January 2026; 1-800-522-4700 remains active. 1-800-GAMBLER is operated by CCGNJ — it is not the Wisconsin line and it is not NCPG.

Crisis

If you or someone with you is in crisis, call or text 988.

The boring limits

  • Age limits at Wisconsin tribal sportsbooks vary by casino (18 or 21); check the property.

  • Decide the amount before you walk in. A kiosk does not know your rent.

  • A time-out you set after a loss is still worth setting. A time-out you only plan to set is not.
