Kentucky Gambling 101 Toolkit

The Omni Institute developed this resource to support the Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (DBHDID) in its problem gambling program. The toolkit focuses on educating Kentuckians about responsible gambling practices, understanding the risks of developing a gambling problem, recognizing risk factors and warning signs, and accessing services that help reduce the harms associated with problem gambling.

About This Toolkit

This digital toolkit is designed as an easy-to-navigate resource for providers seeking information about problem gambling prevention, identification, and support services in Kentucky. Each section addresses a key topic—such as understanding gambling behaviors, Kentucky-specific data related to problem gambling, recognizing warning signs, and connecting individuals to appropriate treatment and recovery resources.

You can explore the toolkit using the menu at the top of the page. Each page includes practical information, links to additional resources, and tools that can be used by behavioral health providers, community organizations, and individuals. Users are encouraged to move through the sections in order for a complete overview, or to jump directly to the topics most relevant to their work or interests.
