Responsible Gambling Awareness Week - October 20-26, 2008
Responsible Gambling Awareness Week
October 19 - 25, 2009
For the third annual Responsible Gambling Awareness Week (RGAW), the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) and its gaming industry and government partners will be reminding patrons of casinos, racing entertainment centres, VLT venues and bingo halls that gambling is a form of entertainment and not a way to make money.
Through promotional materials and events, such as Responsible Gambling Information Centre (RGIC) open houses, RGAW focuses on educating gambling patrons about the realities of gambling, including the odds and randomness, the myths and facts and the actual cost of play.
This week provides the AGLC and its RGAW partners with the opportunity to remind gambling patrons, within the gaming environments of casinos, racing entertainment centres, VLT venues and bingo halls, about the need to gamble responsibly, and to help ensure gambling remains fun by setting and sticking to spending limits.
