Helping Virginia Beach VA Residents Overcome Problem Gambling
The mental health landscape of Virginia Beach changed almost overnight for residents in 2021. In the same year, tribal casino gaming and online sports betting became legal and regulated. To date, there are three casinos within short driving distance, and another roughly 3 hours away from Virginia Beach. The city’s near 300,000 adult residents now have easy access to slots, table games, and poker. Meanwhile, the cooccurring introduction of online sports betting made this access to gambling available around-the-clock, and from the comforts of home for any of-age person in the area codes of 757 and 948.
Corresponding with the rise of gambling, has been a marked increase in behavioral health concerns directly related to the activity. Reports indicate that calls to the region’s problem gambling hotline increased by nearly 57% year-over-year after the legalization of casino gaming and sports betting.
