We are a nonprofit, self-supporting fellowship of recovering compulsive gamblers who meet regularly to help each other recover from the disease of compulsive gambling.

Orange County Gamblers Anonymous welcomes everyone regardless of age, gender, race, spiritual belief or sexual orientation.

The sole purpose of this website is to aid in the dissemination of recovery related information to local members and visitors from the Web, whether they are members of Gamblers Anonymous or not.

We invite you to explore the pages of this website in order that they may help you, or someone you know, with a gambling problem.

What Is Gamblers Anonymous?

Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a gambling problem.

There are no dues or fees for Gamblers Anonymous membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. Gamblers Anonymous is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause.

Our primary purpose is to stop gambling and to help other compulsive gamblers do the same.
