Major League Baseball (MLB) has teamed up with the American Gaming Association on its 'Have A Game Plan Bet Responsibly' campaign. The association designed Have A Game plan to “educate fans and broaden the league’s responsible gaming efforts.”
AGA Senior Vice President Casey Clark commented: “Welcoming Major League Baseball as a Have A Game Plan partner is a milestone for the campaign and responsible gaming efforts nationwide.
“MLB understands that as legal sports betting grows so does our collective commitment to responsibility. This partnership will have a meaningful impact, teaching fans across the country the fundamentals of responsible wagering.”
Under the terms of the partnership, MLB will be responsible for running sports betting public service announcements during the 2022 Postseason. MLB will air the announcements on its digital media channels and select MLB broadcasts. In turn, the AGA will offer MLB expertise and counsel to expand its responsible gaming knowledge base.
MLB Executive Vice Present, Business Development Kenny Gersh said: “As legalized wagering continues to grow across the country, MLB is committed to ensuring that fans who choose to wager also have the tools and resources necessary to bet responsibly.
“With the expertise and additional resources of the AGA and NCPG, we’ll be able to expand our responsible gaming efforts further, driving new education, awareness and support service initiatives that will help keep sports betting safe, fun and entertaining for all those who participate.”
During September’s inaugural Responsible Gaming Education Month (RGEM 2022), the AGA partnered with MGM Resorts International and BetMGM. Throughout September, MGM Resorts has worked with the AGA to offer players tips and educational resources regarding responsible gambling via its social media platforms.
