The Gamblers Rehabilitation Fund (GRF) was established in 1994 to fund programs and initiatives which aim to minimise problem gambling and offer services to those affected by a gambling problem. The GRF is kept with Treasury and is recurrently funded by contributions from the Australian Hotels Association (SA), Clubs SA, Adelaide Casino and the South Australian Government. The current funding available to the GRF is $5.955m, of which $3.845m per annum comes from Gaming Tax and $2.11m is a voluntary contribution from industry.

The GRF is administered by the Office for Problem Gambling within the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion and supports the Gambling Help Services, the 24/7 Gambling Help Line 1800 858 858, community education programs, research and evaluation, and administrative costs. The initiatives supported by the GRF are based on a harm minimisation approach which encompasses prevention, early intervention, and counselling and treatment programs for problem gambling.
