Recognizing the significance of responsible gambling, the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) is dedicated to fostering a safer environment for those who gamble by working with industry stakeholders. During Responsible Gaming Education Month, we would like to highlight the active partnership initiatives that aim to strengthen safeguards and promote responsible gambling practices. Two notable programs, the Responsible Gambling Verification Program and the Internet Compliance Assessment Program, are pivotal in evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of responsible gambling strategies, plans, and governance. By collaborating with our partners, we work towards creating a sustainable and responsible gambling landscape that prioritizes the well-being of individuals who engage in gambling activities.
