It is a common fact already that problem gambling is one of the issues in the US gaining lots of attention. Hot debates have finally lead to banning internet gambling sites, however, there was very little discussion about how to help gamblers find appropriate treatment and how to prevent problem gambling in general.

The Comprehensive Problem Gambling Act introduced into Congress by Frank Wolf, Lee Terry and Jim Moran and supported by US National Council on Problem Gambling is the first, but very important step in looking for the ways to fund problem gambling education, therapy and treatment measures.
