Gambling Addiction Treatment in Oregon

Casino gaming: Land-based casinos are permitted in Oregon on federally recognized tribal lands. Eight of nine recognized tribes operate casinos at 10 separate locations throughout the state. Online casinos remain illegal, but tens of thousands of Oregon residents access offshore platforms where they can play online slots, table games, video poker, and digital scratch cards despite the legal (and mental health) risk.

Online sports betting: Oregon is one of the U.S. states with legal sports betting (view map). Both on-premises (at tribal gambling facilities) and online sports betting is legal.
