ROGA to create national college education campaign
Launching in early 2025, ROGA and its partners will implement a responsible gaming program specifically for university-aged students.
The Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) has announced the development of a national college RG education campaign in partnership with Epic Global Solutions, Kindbridge Behavioral Health and the Responsible Gaming Council (RGC).
Launching in early 2025, ROGA and its partners will create and implement an evidence-based responsible gaming college education program specifically tailored to the needs of university-aged students. The program will look to leverage digital delivery tools to provide RG and financial literacy education to students across diverse campuses and demographics throughout the US.
“A main goal of ROGA is to promote responsible gaming education and awareness across various audiences, including the college-aged demographic,” ROGA Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Shatley said.
“While there are already great programs focused on student-athletes, there are very few resources currently available to the broader university student population.”
Shatley continued on to explain how ROGA will be attempting to provide help in a sector with limited resources, having said, “To fill that gap, ROGA is proud to be collaborating with leading organizations that bring diverse expertise and experiences in creating responsible gaming and problem gambling awareness programs that resonate with college-aged audiences.
“Our aim is to provide much needed information and resources about responsible gaming concepts, raise awareness of the consequences associated with problem gambling and available support services and teach general financial literacy skills that will help students build and maintain good financial habits whether they choose to engage in gaming or not.”
As stated by ROGA, a key aspect of the program will be to humanize and destigmatize the issue of problem gambling through the integration of lived experiences of individuals who have been affected by it.
The campaign’s financial literacy education component will give all students the opportunity to learn about important financial management skills related to budgeting, saving and the risks associated with debt.
The program will also explain complex mathematical concepts such as odds, probability and randomness when engaging in betting.
