Founding partnership · April 2026

Two sides of the same disorder, finally talking to each other.

Cope Compass handles the behavioral side. GamFin handles the financial side. When a problem-gambling client lands on Cope Compass in a GamFin-covered state, we route them to both.

No money exchanged. No affiliate codes. Both sides surface each other in the moments that matter.

Why this works

Problem gambling produces two cascading problems: behavioral (the urge cycle, relapse triggers, the inability to stop) and financial (mounting debt, hidden accounts, ruined credit). Most recovery tools address one side and gesture vaguely at the other. The result is clients who stop gambling but still drown in debt, or clients who get debt help but never address the urge cycle that put them there.

Cope Compass and GamFin solve different halves of the same disorder. The partnership routes members to both sides at the same time, not sequentially.

Where the routing is live

GamFin operates in 17 states, with three different ways in depending on the state: reach them directly, get referred by a treatment provider, or go through a partner clinic. Cope Compass clients see the right path for their state inline in the plan-builder Finances domain.
