American Gaming AssociationCasino operators and suppliers are committed to promoting a safe gaming environment for patrons and industry employees. Collectively, the industry commits more than $300 million to responsible gaming annually, supporting education, training and rehabilitation programs across the country.
At the American Gaming Association, we have always taken our duty to promote responsible gaming seriously. Last year, we launched the Responsible Gambling Collaborative, comprised of renowned thought leaders, stakeholders and academics focused on identifying the programs and policies that best address responsible gaming. The Collaborative will continue to lead the charge against problem gaming and to hold the government accountable for supporting proven, effective solutions throughout this new year.
