MGM Resorts and BetMGM are committing more than $1m annually to fund responsible gaming and problem gambling initiatives.
Rhea Loney, chief compliance officer at BetMGM, said: “This is an extraordinary moment as we work with our team partners to raise awareness about responsible gaming. Throughout the season, GameSense will play a pivotal role in reminding football fans who bet, to do so responsibly.”
Stephen Martino, SVP chief compliance officer at MGM Resorts, added: “The landscape of the gaming industry has evolved dramatically in recent years with the broad legalization of online gambling and sports betting. Collaboration among operators and stakeholders is essential to ensure that responsible gaming remains a top priority. These efforts are vital to giving guests, customers, employees, and companies the tools and information needed for a safe and enjoyable experience.”
Senior vice president of the American Gaming Association (AGA) Casey Clark commented: “The AGA is proud to work alongside leaders like MGM Resorts and BetMGM to advance responsible gaming every day. Their continued investment to elevate responsibility exemplifies the industry’s commitments and the spirit of Responsible Gaming Education Month.”
GameSense is a responsible gaming programme developed and licensed to MGM Resorts and BetMGM by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC). In March, MGM Resorts International and BetMGM announced a five-year contract extension.
