Responsible Gambling Awareness Week 2019 Nsw
– Responsible Gambling Awareness Week 2019 – May 6-11. This week focuses on talking to players about the realities of gambling, including the odds and randomness of different games as well as the myths and facts about the actual costs of play. Responsible Gambling Awareness Week (RGAW) is an annual event that encourages gamblers to stay within their limits and highlights the support available to people who feel gambling may have become a problem for them. This year, RGAW was held in Queensland from 27 July 2020 to 2 August 2020. The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to problem gambling prevention. For over 35 years we’ve worked to put safeguards and support in place for those who gamble.
