Problem gambling is defined as all gambling behavior patterns that compromise, disrupt or damage personal, family, or vocational pursuits. The hashtag for the campaign this year is #PGAM2023, which participants are encouraged to use across various social media platforms. They work collaboratively to let people know that hope and help exist. PGAM brings together a wide range of stakeholders, such as public health organizations, treatment providers, advocacy groups and gambling operators.
