ATLANTA – The Georgia Lottery has partnered with the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) to observe Problem Gambling Awareness Month in March. The annual initiative promotes public awareness of problem gambling and the availability of prevention, treatment and recovery services.
The Georgia Lottery has been a member of NCPG for seven years and contributes annually to the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) to fund education and treatment of gambling addiction, as well as operation of the Georgia Crisis and Access Line.
The Georgia Crisis and Access Line serves as the state’s problem gambling helpline and provides support to Georgians seeking help for a gambling problem. This toll-free helpline is available 24/7 at: 1-866-922-7369. Additional resources for problem gambling can be found here.
“The Georgia Lottery is proud of its partnership with NCPG,” Georgia Lottery President and CEO Gretchen Corbin said. “We encourage everyone to play responsibly, and we are dedicated to ensuring Georgia Lottery players have access to resources that provide help for problem gambling.”
Responsible gaming has been an integral part of the Georgia Lottery since inception.
The Georgia Lottery has reaffirmed its commitment to responsible gaming by seeking multiple industry responsible gaming certifications. The Georgia Lottery is one of two U.S. lotteries that has received three different responsible gaming industry certifications and will continue this effort by:
· Maintaining a Level 3 status of the Responsible Gaming Framework from the World Lottery Association’s four levels of responsible gambling certification;
· Maintaining verification as a lottery that functions at Implementation level per the standards of NCPG and the National Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL).
· Maintaining certification under the Internet Compliance Assessment Program from NCPG.
The Georgia Lottery remains committed to protecting its players and provides tools, information and assistance to those seeking help.
