What is GameSense?

GameSense is Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis' (AGLC's) responsible gambling program. It’s a program designed for players – making responsible gambling tools and information  available to help them make informed choices.

In Alberta, we all have a role to play in being socially responsible. For AGLC, this means identifying industry policies, regulations and best practices to develop information and programs that help players gamble responsibly.
