Problem gambling is an addiction much like any other illness that needs to be treated and no one will judge you for being taken by a casino. Our judges and Trustees understand that and you are not alone.
One way to help yourself is to voluntarily exclude yourself from the casino. Here is the Prairie Band Casino self-exclusion form. Other casinos have similar programs.
Don’t be tempted. You don’t have to go to the casino to get your gambling history for your tax return.  You may request it by mail.
