Pat Mazza
Rise Above Gambling was founded by Pat Mazza, a recovered gambling addict with insider experience in the iGaming industry. Having worked for major companies like BetMGM, PointsBet, and Stardust Casino, Pat combines his personal journey of recovery with professional insights to offer unique, empathetic support to those struggling with gambling addiction. Our mission is to provide the comprehensive assistance and resources that Pat wished for during his own battle with addiction. Through counseling, support groups, and practical strategies, we empower individuals to reclaim control of their lives and build a gambling-free future.
Pat Mazza
President & CEO
My name is Pat Mazza. I founded Rise Above Gambling because I know firsthand the devastating impact of gambling addiction. I realized there wasn’t enough support for people like me who wanted to break free.
After hitting rock bottom, I made a promise to myself: not only would I recover, but I’d create the support system I wished I’d had. That’s how Rise Above Gambling was born.
My journey to recovery taught me valuable lessons, and my experience in the iGaming industry gave me unique insights into the challenges addicts face. I’ve worked for companies like BetMGM, PointsBet, and Stardust Casino, and I’ve seen both sides of the coin. This knowledge, combined with Pat Mazza’s personal experience, allows him to offer practical, empathetic support to those struggling with gambling addiction.
At Rise Above Gambling, we’re not just about helping people quit gambling. We’re about empowering individuals to rebuild their lives, restore relationships, and rediscover their potential.
I started this charity because I believe everyone deserves a second chance. If you’re struggling with gambling addiction, know that you’re not alone. Rise Above Gambling is here to support you every step of the way on your journey to recovery.
