The Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission demonstrates a firm dedication to encouraging responsible gaming practices by distributing over $1.5 million in financial aid. These funds will bolster a variety of programs designed to combat gambling addiction within the state.
Acknowledging that a limited portion of individuals encounter adverse effects from gambling, the Commission has made public awareness and treatment services a priority. This encompasses educating qualified therapists to deliver essential assistance to those impacted and their loved ones.
The endorsed endeavors, spearheaded by groups such as the Golden Bridge Institute and the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health, will confront the matter from various perspectives. These include instructing gambling therapists, initiating public information drives, and even founding a completely new problem gambling facility in Colorado. This marks a significant initial move in the Commission’s continuing commitment to minimizing the detrimental impacts of problem gambling.
The Colorado Problem Gambling Alliance was thrilled to get three awards from the Colorado Gaming Agency to advance responsible gaming programs. These awards, granted by the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Board, have a one-year timeframe for the Alliance to show the effects of their efforts. Peggy Brown of the Alliance conveyed appreciation for the financial backing, highlighting the significance of the Agency and Board’s continued assistance for their crucial endeavors.
