What is a Gambling Addictions Coach
A Gambling Addiction Coach is a trained professional who helps clients recognize, manage, and recover from compulsive gambling and gaming behaviors. Coaches provide non-clinical support using proven tools, goal setting, and accountability strategies to guide clients toward lasting behavioral change.
Do I need a degree or prior experience to join?
No. There are no prerequisites for this program. Whether you’ve personally experienced gambling addiction or are simply passionate about helping others, this certification will give you everything you need to get started as a professional coach.
Can I really build a career from this?
Yes. Gambling addiction is a growing issue globally, and trained coaches are in high demand. Many of our graduates start private practices, work in treatment centers, or combine this certification with existing credentials in recovery, life coaching, or mental health support.
Will this certification help me if I already work in a treatment center or clinical setting?
Absolutely. This program offers specialized training in gambling and gaming addictions — areas often under-addressed in traditional clinical education. It’s a powerful complement to existing roles in counseling, social work, or addiction services.
Why would someone hire a Gambling Addiction Coach instead of a therapist?
Therapists focus on diagnosis and clinical treatment. Coaches, on the other hand, offer practical, forward-focused support. A Gambling Addiction Coach helps clients set goals, build new habits, and stay accountable often working alongside therapists as part of a recovery team.
How much can I make as a Gambling Addiction Coach?
Earnings vary based on your location, services, and business model. Coaches typically charge $75–$200+ per session, and many create group programs or long-term packages. We also provide business-building support and even hire from within our graduate pool.
