BEVERLY,
Mass., Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The
International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) announced that
it has received a $180,000 grant from
BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming company, in support of
the organization's research and education on responsible gambling
and the impact advertising has on problem gambling.
"We are pleased to accept this historic contribution from
BetMGM," said Arthur Paikowsky,
President of the ICRG. "Findings from this evidence-based research
study will allow us to better identify potential risks and guide
best-practices for the gaming industry. We commend BetMGM for
partnering with us to better inform the public, operators,
regulators, legislators, and the media."
Richard Taylor, Senior Manager of
Responsible Gaming, said, "Investment into research around
responsible gaming is key to our continued education and commitment
to providing best-in-class experiences and programs, as well as to
ensuring a sustainable industry. This groundbreaking research will
not only provide valuable learnings to BetMGM but will also serve
as a guide for the industry and key stakeholders."
Since its establishment in 1996, the ICRG has become a prominent
source in problem gambling research, yielding hundreds of articles
published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The ICRG has issued

As BetMGM continues to expand to new markets, responsible
gambling education remains a key focus. BetMGM is proud to provide
resources to help customers play responsibly including GameSense,
an industry leading program, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts
by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through the
integration within BetMGM's mobile and desktop platforms, customers
will receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to count
on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM's
already existing responsible gambling tools which serve to provide
customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.
