RGC’s impact throughout 2024-25:

Thanks to the support provided by the Ontario Ministry of Health, we are expanding our community partnership initiatives to support organizations as they navigate the changing gambling landscape. We have partnered closely with Indigenous, ethnocultural, education, health-based, and young adult organizations to build knowledge and to develop tools tailored to specific community needs.
In Year 1 of the Responsible Internet Gambling Fund (RIGF), RGC continued our partnership with ThinkTV and launched a Public Awareness Campaign educating young adults on the randomness of sports betting and iGaming casino games and connected with over 70M people through various channels.
We completed 75 global RG Check accreditations: 31 land-based venues worldwide and 44 sites across 25 iGaming Operators underwent this rigorous process ultimately optimizing their consumer protection programs and strategies.
