Providing quality assistance for people who struggle with gambling-related behavioral issues requires a whole-person approach. Ohio’s Casino Control Commission (OCCC) has taken a step in that direction for such people in the state.

The regulatory body has formed a partnership with GamFin, a company that provides financial counseling to those with such behavioral problems. Sound money management practices and a healthy attitude towards finances are a part of recovery from such problems.

According to a LinkedIn post from OCCC Problem Gambling Services Manager Cory Brown, GamFin services are available to both individual clients and treatment providers in Ohio. GamFin’s website explains those services.
