Responsible Gambling Awareness Week

Responsible Gambling Awareness Week (RGAW) is an annual event that is promoted throughout Alberta’s casinos, racing entertainment centres and vlt locations. It showcases several initiatives and resources to educate both players and gaming staff about the realities of gambling, including the odds and randomness of different games, as well as the myths and facts about the actual costs of play. It also highlights the problem gambling resources and self-help tools that are available for individuals and families.

Here are some additional resources that may be helpful if you or someone you know is having difficulties because of their gambling behaviour, or if you are just seeking further information on responsible or problem gambling:

• Community resources
• Learn more about vlts
• Sometimes gambling stops being a fun and affordable activity. Spot the signs
• Seniors and gambling
