The Gambling Addiction Awareness Program is funded by the province through the Ministry of Health Promotion. The Ontario Government dedicates 2% of the gross revenue from slot operations at the province’s charity casinos and racetracks to a Problem Gambling Strategy. The Strategy funds three key components: treatment services delivered at 45 designated agencies across Ontario, prevention programs and services provided through funded agencies and research funded through the Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre
