Navigating finances is one of the most challenging aspects of daily life for those that are in recovery or are looking to reduce gambling in their daily lives. Resources such as tips, downloadable budget plans, and certain financial tools can be found here for individuals directly affected or for the family and friends that care about them.
Turn over your finances to a trusted family member. Provide them with a list of bills and debts to be paid.
Add a trusted family member to your checking/savings account and require two signatures to withdraw.
Have your trusted family member place your cherished items such as jewelry into a safety deposit box on your behalf to eliminate the temptation to pawn or sell the items for cash.
True Link Prepaid Debit cards allows people that are affected by gambling related harms to regain a sense of financial independence. The card is loaded directly from your bank account and can be used at any merchant that accepts VISA. The ability to preset certain spending rules, block unauthorized transactions, along with real time spending alerts to trusted family members or friends can significantly help someone to stop gambling. *CCPG does not endorse this product but shares it as a resource for any that may find the service beneficial. *

NRT Technology Corp.To use the Everi Exclusion Program:
Everi’s Personal Self Transaction Exclusion Program (STeP) is a way for patrons to block access to cash across the company’s national network of ATMs, cash access kiosks, and booth services. The program works in conjunction with a casino’s own exclusion program. The STeP exclusion is effective on credit cards, ATM debit cards, and checking accounts at both machine terminals and cashier cages.
Patrons who believe they have a problem can download a Request to Block Transactions form and indicate what cards and accounts they wish to block. Once Everi processes the form, the identified account is blocked at participating Everi access points for at least one year. The account block remains in place until a customer unblocks his or her account(s).
After downloading the appropriate form, please mail, fax, or email the completed form to:
