How Gamblers Anonymous meetings work
Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so they may solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling problem. The only requirement is a desire to stop gambling. GA is not affiliated with any religion, politics, or treatment facility — it is a self-supporting mutual-aid community built on the same principles as Alcoholics Anonymous.
Online GA meetings are hosted on Zoom. Most last 60 to 90 minutes and follow a predictable structure: an opening reading, introductions, a speaker, then open sharing. You can attend anonymously — first name only, camera off if you prefer. There is no cost, no registration, and no one will ask you to speak if you are not ready.
Who GA meetings are for
GA is for anyone who thinks they may have a problem with gambling. That includes sports betting, online casinos, slot machines, poker, day trading, lottery, and any other form of wagering. You do not need to be sure you are addicted. You do not need to hit bottom. You do not need to have lost everything. If gambling is causing problems in your life — or you are worried it might — GA meetings are open to you.
Family members and friends of problem gamblers have their own fellowship called Gam-Anon, which is separate from GA. If you are looking for support as a partner, parent, or friend of someone who gambles, visit gam-anon.org.
How to join your first online meeting
- Find a meeting that works for your schedule. Use the directory above to filter by day of the week, country, or US state. The live globe shows meetings happening right now if you need immediate support.
- Click the join link. Most meetings use Zoom. If a passcode is listed, tap the copy button next to it and paste when prompted. You will not be asked to create an account.
- Join anonymously. Enter only your first name. Keep your camera off and your microphone muted if you prefer. Listening is perfectly fine — many newcomers spend their first several meetings just listening.
- Keep coming back. One meeting is a start, not a finish. Most people in recovery attend meetings regularly — daily in early days, weekly once stable. Save meetings you like so you can find them again.
Frequently asked questions
Are Gamblers Anonymous meetings really free?
Yes. All Gamblers Anonymous meetings listed here are completely free. GA is a fellowship that exists to help compulsive gamblers recover, and there is no membership fee, pledge, or cost of any kind. Meetings are donation-supported but donations are voluntary and never required.
Do I need to sign up or create an account to join a meeting?
No. You do not need to create an account, sign up, or share personal information. Click a Zoom link, enter the passcode if one is listed, and join. You can attend anonymously — first name only, camera off, microphone off. GA meetings are anonymous by design.
How do GA online meetings work?
Most online GA meetings are hosted on Zoom. A typical meeting lasts 60 to 90 minutes and follows a structured format: an opening reading, introductions, a speaker sharing their experience, and open discussion. You can listen without speaking if you prefer — many newcomers do exactly that.
Is there a meeting happening right now?
Yes, almost always. There are Gamblers Anonymous meetings running 24 hours a day across different time zones. The live counter at the top of this page shows how many meetings are currently in progress. Click the globe to zoom into any location and see what is happening there.
What is the difference between GA and "Gam-Anon"?
Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is for compulsive gamblers themselves — people who want to stop gambling. Gam-Anon is for family and friends of compulsive gamblers. Both fellowships are free and run meetings online. This directory lists GA meetings. If you need family support, visit gam-anon.org.
What if I am not sure I have a gambling problem?
That is OK. GA meetings are open to anyone who thinks they may have a problem with gambling. There is no requirement to admit you are an addict, and no one will judge you. You can simply listen. Many people attend their first meeting still unsure — and that first meeting is often what helps them decide.
