Founded in 2007, The Center for Gambling Studies (CGS) is an international,
multidisciplinary center for the study of gambling-related issues. The
center's mission is to promote empirical research, to evaluate
gambling-related policies and serve as a legislative resource, and to
provide nationally accredited training for compulsive gambling
counselors. The CGS is housed in the School of Social Work at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
The
mission of the Center for Gambling Studies is twofold: to drive global decision-making on issues relative to gambling and
gaming by conducting strategic, non-partisan research and policymaking
and to benefit individuals and families adversely affected by problems
with interactive technology through innovative prevention, training, and
intervention programs.
