Unbiased Funded Research
The ICRG’s impact is fueled by a coalition of industry leaders, visionary organizations, and dedicated individuals. From our inception, the private sector has stepped up to ensure that the future of gambling is guided by rigorous science.
Our foundation was built on the bold support of Boyd Gaming Corporation and Station Casinos, who provided the essential start-up funding to launch the ICRG in 1996. They were quickly joined by early trailblazers like Harrah’s Entertainment, International Game Technology (IGT), Mandalay Resort Group, MGM MIRAGE, and Park Place Entertainment.
Today, that momentum has evolved into a global movement.
While there is no federal funding for gambling research in the United States, over $50 million has been committed to the ICRG to date thanks to the continued generosity of our donors, consisting of commercial and Tribal gaming companies, equipment manufacturers, vendors, and individual donors.
This represents an unprecedented level of private-sector funding, specifically dedicated to independent gambling research.
Every dollar strengthens our ability to protect players and stabilize the industry through data-driven insights.
