Founded by Pat Mazza, Former Gambling Industry Insider Turned Recovery Advocate

Welcome from Our Founder, Pat Mazza

At The Gambling Clinic, we understand the struggle of gambling addiction because we’ve lived it. I’m Pat Mazza, and my journey from the depths of addiction to recovery inspired me to create this sanctuary of hope for those battling gambling addiction in Canada.

Before founding The Gambling Clinic, I spent years in the corporate world, working in tech sales at Microsoft and later in the iGaming industry with giants like BetMGM, PointsBet (now Fanatics), and Boyd Gaming (Stardust Casino). This insider experience revealed the intricate web of tactics used to keep players hooked – from enticing bonuses to VIP programs designed to foster addiction.

Now, I use this knowledge to empower you. At The Gambling Clinic, we expose these industry secrets, arming you with the awareness to break free from their grasp.

For 15 years, I was entangled in the world of sports betting, poker, and casino games. At 30, fueled by my experiences as both a recovering compulsive gambler and a former industry insider, I made a life-changing decision. I pursued a master’s degree with one goal in mind: to establish The Gambling Clinic and help others reclaim their lives from gambling addiction.

The Pat Mazza Approach to Recovery

At The Gambling Clinic, we offer more than just advice – we provide a roadmap to recovery based on lived experience. As someone who has walked the treacherous path of addiction and emerged stronger, I, Pat Mazza, stand before you as living proof that a fulfilling, balanced life is within reach.
