Public Service Announcements
The Missouri Alliance to Curb Problem Gambling has a number of television and
radio public service announcements (PSAs) available to help build awareness
of Missouri's problem gambling help line, 1-888-BETSOFF, and the risk factors
and warning signs of problem gambling.
The Alliance also has been fortunate to receive assistance from some celebrities
in helping to build this awareness. Country music legends Crystal Gale and Wynonna
Judd have lent their talent to help with the Alliance's awareness efforts, as well
as the Kansas City rhythm-and-blues band Bloodstone.
For more information about the Alliance's PSAs, please e-mail

which is loss of time and money.
