AMH Updates (cont.) Internet Gaming Policy and Data Collection

ORS 413.522 states that all moneys in the Problem Gambling Treatment Fund are to be expended for programs for the prevention and treatment of gambling addiction and other emotional and behavioral problems related to gambling and for the administration of the programs.

Clients can be seen for internet gaming addition if internet use problems are related to gambling.

No variances for internet gaming addiction will be approved. In the meantime, AMH leadership has asked that we collect data to

determine need and options of changing language within ORS 413.522 or develop policy option package for funding during future legislative sessions.
