About Us

What We Do

At Open Gate Project, we help people with gambling addiction get the support they need by removing the barriers that often stand in the way — the cost of care, the struggle to find trustworthy treatment, and the shame or isolation that makes it hard to ask for help. Our mission is to connect those in need with affordable, reliable care and the practical resources that make real recovery possible.

These are structured, topic-based support groups facilitated by experts and individuals with lived experience, offering education, accountability, and community.

We guide individuals through the process of finding reputable, effective treatment options — from outpatient programs to inpatient care.

We offer peer support, real-life stories, and educational tools to raise awareness about the dangers of gambling addiction and support lasting recovery.

We offer scholarships to help cover the cost of professional gambling addiction therapy for those unable to afford it.
