First Online Program to Prevent Gambling Problems in the Military Community<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Washington, DC<\/strong> \u2013 The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) is pleased to announce the launch of \u2018Operation Responsible Gambling,\u2019 supported by Entain Foundation US and RG24seven. Operation Responsible Gambling (OpRG) is designed to assist members of the military community in gambling responsibly, and also to ensure they have options to seek help if they show signs of gambling problems.<\/p>\n

Keith Whyte, NCPG Executive Director, stated, \u201cWe know that active-duty personnel and veterans face higher risks for gambling problems so Operation Responsible Gambling provides access to help, information and veteran\u2019s video testimonials aimed specially at the military community. The information will be available on social media and a micro-website.\u201d The first two videos feature stories from veterans in their own words, talking about their gambling issues during their service and the road to recovery through the Veterans Administration gambling services.<\/p>\n

Whyte continued, \u201cThe research is clear that members of the military community are at higher risk for gambling problems, yet military community members may not know what to do or where to go. We want to make sure they know there is hope and help available.\u201d<\/p>\n

Operation Responsible Gambling is funded by a donation from Entain Foundation US. Martin Lycka, Entain\u2019s Senior Vice President for American Regulatory Affairs and Responsible Gambling and Trustee of the Entain Foundation US, said, \u201cEntain offers the most comprehensive services for at-risk gamblers around the world. We see a special obligation to active-duty members and military veterans who volunteer to serve their country, often in far-away places and in dangerous circumstances. We want to help ensure that their gambling entertainment is fun and safe with the knowledge that there are experts and services available to help if they have a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

RG24seven provided in-kind production and technical support for the videos and overall project. RG24seven CEO Wendy Anderson stated, \u201cWe are honored to be helping to provide responsible gambling education to those who put their lives on the line to protect us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard Taylor, Jr., chair of the NCPG Military Committee, said, \u201cAs a Marine veteran and Responsible Gambling Program Manager for BetMGM, I\u2019m excited to lend my personal and professional experience to this important project. It\u2019s critical that we provide our military community with the education and tools they need to make the right choices when it comes to gambling.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can learn more about this initiative by signing up to watch the \u201cOperation Responsible Gambling\u201d webinar that will be held at 1:00 pm EDT on Tuesday, May 18. It will feature Whyte, Anderson, Lycka and Taylor. NCPG member and non-members can register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
