NGAGE (National Survey on Gambling Attitudes and Gambling Experiences) is a comprehensive research initiative that tracks gambling behaviors and attitudes across the United States. While not measuring gambling addiction prevalence, these surveys provide crucial data for developing prevention programs and responsible gambling initiatives.

Key Survey Iterations:

NGAGE 1.0 (2018)

• Established baseline measurements before widespread sports betting legalization
• Conducted in response to the Supreme Court Murphy case ruling
• Focused on understanding pre-expansion gambling patterns

NGAGE 2.0 (2021)

• Measured changes in national gambling attitudes and experiences
• Compared results against 2018 baseline data
• Evaluated impact of expanded gambling access

The NGAGE National Trends Dashboard enables users to:

• Compare multi-year data across states
• Analyze gambling behavior trends
• Track problematic and positive play patterns
• Monitor public opinions about gambling addiction
• Access comprehensive statistical information

The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) conducts these surveys independently, operating without federal or state-level funding. Their research helps shape evidence-based approaches to gambling addiction prevention and treatment while promoting responsible gambling practices nationwide.
