RSI launches program to support gaming awareness among teens

The objective is to help students understand gaming and encourage responsible engagement.

Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has partnered with Integrity Compliance 360 (IC360) to launch Gaming Literacy Aiding Decisions (GLAD), a campaign aimed at helping educators improve students’ understanding of gaming and encourage responsible engagement.

The scheme looks to help by providing better tools to educators. 

Richard Schwartz, RSI CEO, said: “Consumers today have more entertainment options than ever before, including within the gaming space. We appreciate that this expanded landscape offers individuals more ways to fulfill their entertainment needs. As technology continues to evolve, entertainment options, such as online gambling, have become increasingly mainstream and accessible. 

“Like any material societal change, this evolution requires thoughtful education and honest, open dialogue, particularly for youth who are coming of age in an environment where these choices are all around them. I’ve seen this firsthand with young people in my community. It’s clear that exposure is growing, and with it, the need for responsible frameworks.

“We have a responsibility to seek out and create opportunities that empower young people with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions, so that when the time comes, they can determine for themselves, with confidence and understanding, what relationship, if any, they wish to have with gambling products.”

Eric Frank, Co-CEO and President of IC360, said: “We are proud to partner with Rush Street Interactive, a company that has not only identified the need for gambling literacy among young people but has also taken meaningful, proactive steps to lead the way in addressing the critical educational gap.

“Their demonstrable commitment to supporting educators and empowering students sets a new standard for creating informed and responsible attitudes towards gambling.”

Initially, the GLAD curriculum will be launched in New Jersey and Delaware, where RSI and IC360 have collaborated with school districts to offer guest talks and provide educational materials for teachers.
