The Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA), in partnership with Epic Global Solutions, Kindbridge Behavioral Health and the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC), has launched its Know Your Play campaign.
The campaign targets college-aged students and aims to provide education on responsible gambling, mental health, wellbeing and financial literacy. It utilizes digital learning tools, resources and videos, all of which are available to this demographic. Certain universities will also run on-campus sessions and workshops.
Specific topics covered in regard to RG include randomness, deposit limits and impulsiveness, as well as busting myths surrounding ‘the illusion of control’ in sports wagering.
On the launch, ROGA Executive Director Dr Jennifer Shatley said, “College students are learning to navigate newfound financial independence and equipping this age group with resources to make informed decisions that can build good financial habits will serve them throughout their lives, whether they engage in gaming or not.
“While previous programs have focused on student-athletes, our campaign intends to educate the broader student population about responsible gaming concepts that can help this age group set realistic expectations and see gaming as a form of entertainment, not as a way of making money.”
Epic Global Solutions SVP of Partnerships Teresa Fiore added, “By combining expert knowledge with personal stories, our program aims to foster a well-rounded understanding of financial literacy, decision-making and risk-taking.”
Good to know: The campaign was first announced in September 2024.
Kindbridge Group CEO Daniel Umfleet also spoke on the partnership, stating, “College life presents unique pressures, from financial independence to academic performance, all of which can impact mental health. By fostering decision-making skills that bridge these areas, we’re helping students build resilience, manage stress and develop healthy habits that will serve them well beyond their college years.”
“College students face an increased risk of harm from gambling, making prevention education essential in protecting this important audience,” concluded RGC CEO Sarah McCarthy.
“RGC has a long history of creating prevention programs for young adults, and we are proud to partner with ROGA on this crucial initiative… By providing valuable information, digital tools and resources, we are empowering young adults to approach gambling with a lower-risk mindset and reduce potential harm.”
