The 13th annual Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) Minor’s Awareness campaign is in full swing.
Until Dec. 25., at every sale and on all their social media, AGLC will showcase the issues around purchasing lottery products for minors.
“Our Minors’ Awareness campaign is designed to educate gift-givers and lottery retailers, reminding them that lottery tickets are not a suitable gift for children. The province’s lottery industry and the general public are key partners in preventing underage gambling among Alberta’s youth,” said Kandice Machado, President & CEO, AGLC.
Minors have not been able to buy or cash lotto tickets since lottery products were first introduced in 1975.
The AGLC offers many resources for people who wish to look into responsible gambling like GameSense and the Self-Exclusion Program.
GameSense provides players extra help to figure out how all the games work, such as odds and randomness.
The Self-Exclusion Program gives players the chance to remove themselves for up to three years from land-based venues.
