The Gambling Clinic Evidence-Based Insights
The Gambling Clinic is the clinical service division of the Tennessee Institute for Gambling Education and Research (TIGER). Based at the University of Memphis and East Tennessee State University, TIGER conducts research on gambling, the treatment of gambling problems, and responsible gambling, in addition to providing treatment for people with gambling problems through The Gambling Clinic. TIGER is strengthened by a reciprocal relationship between research and clinical services: the treatment we provide at The Gambling Clinic is based on research, and the experiences of the clients we see at The Gambling Clinic often spark questions that drive our research. TIGER researchers have published dozens of articles in academic journals and often speak at conferences. In addition, we literally wrote the book on treating gambling problems.
Launching the Evidence-Based Insights Series
In order to share our findings with the general public, policymakers, and gaming operators and regulators, in 2025 we launched the Evidence-Based Insights series. Our Evidence-Based Insights summarize our peer-reviewed academic research to share it with a broad audience.
TIGER is funded by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. All findings and views expressed in Evidence-Based Insights are the authors’ own, and not necessarily those of the State of Tennessee or the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
If you have questions about our research or would like to learn more, we invite you to contact us.
If you’re concerned about your own gambling or a loved one’s gambling, contact us, or read about how we can help.
