The Ethical Gambling Reform Group was founded in 2020 by Harry Levant with the mission of bringing reform, regulation, and public health policy to legalized gambling and the gambling establishment. Harry made his last bet on April 27, 2014 and came within 30 seconds of taking his own life in the grip of a pathological gambling disorder. Harry sought help for his gambling addiction and began the journey of treatment and recovery. This journey includes taking full responsibility for the carnage caused while in the grip of addiction. In May 2022, Harry graduated from La Salle University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a Master’s in Professional Counseling and now works as a substance disorder counselor and public policy advocate. Harry utilizes his education and training as a counselor, along with his previous legal education, to serve as an advocate for Ethical Gambling Reform and public health policy.

Harry is a member of numerous professional organizations including the American Counseling Association, Pennsylvania Counseling Association, Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society of Professional Counseling and Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers of Pennsylvania. Harry is also the Director of Education for Stop Predatory Gambling. With 36-years of lived experience, and a deeply personal battle to overcome Gambling Addiction, Harry is proud to introduce the Ethical Gambling Reform Group.

The explosive growth of legalized gambling is a public health issue requiring reform and regulation at the federal level. The mission of the Ethical Gambling Reform Group is to advocate, educate and inform as we work for public health policy, regulation, and reform.
