Colorado Takes Action: Millions Dedicated to Combat Gambling Addiction
The Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission has demonstrated a significant commitment to combating gambling addiction by allocating more than $1.5 million in funding for responsible gaming programs. These grants, unprecedented in the state, will support a range of initiatives designed to offer assistance and resources to individuals and families impacted by problem gambling.
Beneficiaries include entities like the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health, recognized for their proficiency in this domain. These organizations will concentrate on crucial areas such as educating gambling counselors, initiating public education campaigns, and even establishing a specialized problem gambling facility in Colorado. This dedication to responsible gaming highlights a burgeoning national understanding of the significance of providing aid to those most in need.
The Colorado Coalition for Responsible Gaming received a grant for a year to research a gambling-related issue. The Coalition expressed enthusiasm for the funding and anticipates collaborating with the Colorado Division of Gaming, along with the Colorado Gaming Commission, on this endeavor.
