Gambling Endorsement Supervisory Program

For professionals in need of a supervisor to apply for their Preliminary Gambling Endorsement

The Gambling Endorsement Supervisory Program is designed to assist clinicians without a local supervisor that is qualified to treat gambling disorder, apply for their Preliminary Gambling Endorsement (GAMBp) through the Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals (OCDP) Board and become eligible to apply for the Renewable Gambling Endorsement (GAMB).


Those that apply for this program will be required to attend three 90-minute group supervision meetings. Additionally, clinicians will be expected to be able to commit to at least three monthly 30-minute individual supervision meetings that may continue until you have received your Renewable GAMB. These individual sessions will be scheduled based on your and the facilitator's availability.


This program will help professionals:

  • Connect with a supervisor that can sign off on their Notification of Supervisory Relationship form required to be submitted when applying for their GAMBp
  • Meet the eligibility requirements to move from a GAMBp towards a Renewable GAMB through the OCDP Board by providing clinical supervision and receiving support in completing 100 hours of gambling disorder direct clinical experience

In order to be eligible for this program, you must:

  • Be a licensed LCDC-II, LCDC-III, LICDC, or LICDC-CS.
  • Have completed 30 hours of gambling-specific education that meets the educational requirements through the OCDP Board for a GAMBp.
