Pennsylvania recognizes problem gambling awareness month
With a robust PA online casino market and legal sports betting, Pennsylvania officials are casting a spotlight on responsible gaming and problem gambling in March.
State regulators in Pennsylvania announced last week that it was recognizing March as Problem Gambling Awareness Month. The National Council on Problem Gambling first announced the initiative, and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) along with the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs both acknowledged it officially in a press release on March 2.
'Essential' to recognize individuals with gambling disorders
Elizabeth Lanza is the director of the PGCB's Office of Compulsive and Problem Gambling, which was established within the Commonwealth to provide help with gambling addiction by providing a number of resources for its PA online casino users. Lanza illustrated why having an official Problem Gambling Awareness Month was a priority in Pennsylvania.
