Who Is Evive For?
Evive is a free, confidential app that helps people understand their relationship with gambling and find support that works for them, whether that means keeping gambling fun, cutting back, or stopping completely.
- People who want to keep gambling fun and set healthy boundaries
- Those looking to reduce gambling or manage it more effectively
- Individuals working to stop gambling entirely
- Family and friends affected by someone else's gambling
The Illinois Council on Problem Gambling has partnered with the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) Division of Behavioral Health & Recovery (BHR) to bring Evive to Illinois for free.
