AGA launches responsible sports betting ad campaign
Fans in US states with legal sports betting will see in-arena responsibility messaging due to the American Gaming Association’s (AGA) new public service campaign designed to educate fans and consumers about responsible sports betting practices. The Have a Game Plan, Bet Responsibly campaign
is currently live in Capital One Arena in Washington, DC and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV, with plans to launch in other sports betting markets soon. Through the campaign, the AGA is leading the gaming industry in responsible sports betting promotion, both in key markets and nationally. The effort also focuses on bolstering responsible gaming engagement from sports leagues, teams, and other new entrants into the sports betting ecosystem. “This is a watershed moment for sports betting in
the United States,” said Bill Miller, president and CEO of the American Gaming Association. “Roughly 100 million Americans will be able to legally wager on sports in their state by the end of this year. It’s more important than ever that the gaming industry, and our new partners in the sports betting ecosystem, are proactive in equipping patrons with the tools they need to engage in these offerings in a responsible manner.” The campaign focuses on four responsible sports
betting principles: • Set a budget and stick to it. • Keep it social: play with friends, family, and colleagues.
G2E Asia postponed to July
Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia is postponing G2E Asia to July 28-30, 2020 at the Venetian Macao. G2E Asia and its organisers, the American Gaming
Association and Reed Exhibitions, are acting in good time, recognising the level of planning that is required to participate in such an event. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and related travel and commercial restrictions make those preparations too difficult to hold the show as originally planned. “Like all of you, we have carefully monitored this global health crisis. Our top priority is ensuring a safe
environment for employees, customers, and exhibitors at G2E Asia,” said Josephine Lee, chief operating officer, Reed Exhibitions China. “We made this decision in consultation with our exhibitors and the Macao government, and out of an abundance of caution. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and thank our customers for their continued support of G2E Asia.” G2E Asia will continue to monitor the situation and
remain in close contact with all G2E Asia stakeholders to provide updates as available.
• Be informed: learn the details of the games you’re playing.
• Play with trusted licensed, regulated operators. “When it comes to legal sports betting, nothing
can be more important than responsibility,” said Jim Van Stone, president, business operations and chief commercial officer of Monumental Sports & Entertainment. “Monumental Sports is proud to support the AGA’s Have a Game Plan campaign in Capital One Arena and establish a high bar for responsibility, even before legal sports betting launches in Washington, DC.” “The Golden Knights are pleased to work with the American Gaming Association to extend our state’s longstanding commitment to responsibility by encouraging all of our fans to Have a Game Plan,” said Vegas Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz. “Gaming should always be enjoyed responsibly. We look forward to working with the AGA on educating our fans and reinforcing this messaging during our home games at The Fortress.” The campaign announcement coincides with Problem Gambling Awareness Month.
