In an effort to advance responsible sports betting and gaming, the newly established sports betting platform, Gaming Society, has joined forces with the American Gaming Association (AGA). Through their partnership, Gaming Society will actively participate in AGA’s “Have a Game Plan. Bet Responsibly” public service campaign. The initiative aims to raise awareness about responsible gaming and unite organizations within the gaming and sports industries. By offering educational content and leveraging the influence of NBA Hall-of-Famer Kevin Garnett, Gaming Society seeks to foster a more accessible and inclusive sports betting industry while encouraging responsible betting habits.
Supporting Responsible Betting:
Gaming Society firmly believes that responsible betting is vital for the sustainable growth of legal sports betting. As the popularity of sports betting continues to rise, it becomes increasingly crucial to promote responsible practices. The partnership with AGA’s “Have a Game Plan” initiative aligns perfectly with Gaming Society’s mission to create an environment that prioritizes betting education for all, including underserved audiences.
The PSA featuring Kevin Garnett underscores the importance of responsible betting. Through this compelling message, Gaming Society aims to educate and inspire every type of bettor, whether they are novices or seasoned gamblers. By spreading the message through various platforms such as their website, newsletter, and social channels, they aim to reach a broader audience and instill responsible gaming behaviors.
AGA’s Four Key Responsible Gaming Principles:
AGA’s “Have a Game Plan. Bet Responsibly” campaign is built on four key principles that encourage responsible gaming practices:
Setting a Budget and Sticking to It: Responsible betting starts with creating a budget for gambling activities and adhering to it. Gaming Society and AGA believe that staying within one’s financial means ensures that betting remains an enjoyable form of entertainment.
Keeping Betting Social: The campaign encourages bettors to view sports betting as a social activity and to engage in it with friends and family responsibly. By fostering a sense of community around betting, Gaming Society aims to mitigate the risk of excessive gambling behavior.
Knowing the Odds: Understanding the odds is essential for making informed betting decisions. Gaming Society will emphasize the importance of being well-informed about the sports and events on which bettors wager, promoting a more mindful approach to gambling.
Playing with Legal, Regulated Operators: Gaming Society advocates for betting only with legal and regulated operators. This ensures a safe and fair betting environment for all participants.
Joining the Responsible Gaming Movement:
With Gaming Society’s inclusion, the “Have a Game Plan. Bet Responsibly” campaign now boasts over 30 official partners from various leagues, teams, sportsbooks, and media entities. AGA’s strategic communication and responsibility VP, Cait DeBaun, expressed excitement over Gaming Society’s commitment to player education and their dedication to spreading responsible gaming messages to both new and experienced players alike.
