1. Gamblers Anonymous
Compulsive gambling is not an issue that we should try to sweep under the rug. It is (or should be) a concern for everyone involved in the casino industry. We want you to go out there, have fun and hopefully win some money, but we know that for some people, addiction is a problem. We don't want your favorite hobby to turn into a nightmare.
If you suspect that you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, Gamblers Anonymous is an excellent resource. GA has help for both those with the addiction and their loved ones. There's no shame in getting help if you're worried about how gambling is affecting your life.
2. Wikipedia Gambling Page
While we wouldn't recommend using Wikipedia as a source for an academic paper, it is a useful resource. The main gaming entry on Wikipedia is full of information that you will find both useful and interesting.
This page covers the history of gambling, how gambling differs from insurance, common betting systems, myths, and types of gambling. There are also many links to other gambling-related Wikipedia pages and off-site resources for more in-depth information on a particular topic.
3. The Gambler’s Fallacy – Explained
It is important for every player to understand the concept of the Gambler's Fallacy. The Gambler's Fallacy is responsible for many poor decisions at the table. This page provides a clear but detailed explanation and examples of the Gambler's Fallacy.
This one is worth reading because the Gambler's Fallacy threatens to rear its ugly head all the time. It appears in slot machines, table games, card games, lotteries, and wagering systems. It will serve you well to understand how the Gambler's Fallacy works and why it is wrong.
4. Vegas Deals
Las Vegas doesn't have to break the bank. There are good deals to be had if you know where to look. One place I like to check is CheapoVegas.com. They have a constantly updated list of cheap hotel rooms, cheap attractions and special deals for visitors.
Whoever runs this site must be a local because they know all the ins and outs of doing Vegas on the cheap. So if you're planning a trip or have put off a trip due to budget concerns, this is the site for you.
5. National Council on Problem Gambling
The National Council on Problem Gambling is dedicated to increasing public awareness of problem gambling and helping addicts find free help. This is another great resource to add to Gamblers Anonymous. The website has a free phone number you can call for information and resources to get help.
6. The UK Gambling Commission
The UK Gambling Commission is the UK's regulatory body for both traditional and online gambling. This is a useful resource for legal issues, making complaints about casinos, finding licenses for online casinos, and getting help in setting up your own gambling business.
This site doesn't make for entertaining light reading, but it's great for research purposes. The site also publishes studies on problem gambling, explains what to expect from a UK gambling site, and more.
7. Las Vegas Sun Gaming Section
The Las Vegas Sun is the city's major newspaper and its gaming section is frequently updated with casino news - usually local news. You can read about casino expansions, closings, mergers, new restaurants, new attractions and more. This is especially recommended for locals.
8. TwoPlusTwo Forums
The 2+2 forums are an excellent resource for poker and gaming strategy. This is one of the few in-depth poker strategy sites that isn't plastered with ads. The discussion forums host some of the most advanced poker strategy discussions I've ever seen. Much of what I have learned about poker has come from 2+2.
2+2 also has a section dedicated to gambling strategy, theory and mathematics. The gambling section isn't as big as the poker section, but it still has a lot of interesting and useful things. What I like most about 2+2 is that the discussions cover a lot more ground than what you see on the typical poker or gambling site.
9. Gambling and the Law
This site is run by Professor I. Nelson Rose, who is one of the most respected names in the world when it comes to gaming law. You would think that this site would be a boring read, but it's actually quite interesting. Professor Rose knows how to strike the right balance between information and entertainment.
So why would you even visit this site? Well, maybe you have a question about the legality of betting from home. Or maybe you want to host a charity event without crossing the line into criminal underground gambling. Professor Rose also talks about big events in the industry (like when Full Tilt Poker lost its license in Alderney) and what they mean from a legal standpoint.
10. Reddit Gambling
Reddit is a funny website, but it's one of the largest and most visited sites on the Internet. In the gambling section, members participate in discussions and post links to interesting articles, news and videos. If you're interested in gambling, you'll find all sorts of useful and interesting things to read here.
