- Responsible Gambling Strategy Annual Report: 2008-09
-
Established in 2002, the Gaming
Policy and Enforcement Branch is
responsible for regulating gaming in
British Columbia, including ensuring
the overall integrity of gaming and
horse racing. This includes, but is not
limited to, implementing legislation,
regulations, policies and public
interest standards to ensure gaming
is delivered in a manner that is safe,
fair and beneficial for all British
Columbians. As part of this
responsibility, the Branch manages
the Province’s Responsible Gambling
Strategy.
Introduced in 2003, the Responsible Gambling Strategy guides all problem gambling and responsible gambling programs, services and initiatives in the province. The Strategy has three key goals: to reduce the incidence of problem gambling, to reduce the harmful impacts of excessive gambling, and to ensure that gambling is delivered in a manner that encourages responsible play and healthy choices.
The Branch takes a practical approach to achieve these goals, from supporting awareness and education projects, to providing a continuum of free clinical treatment services across the province, to implementing and enforcing responsible gambling public interest standards for the gaming industry.
While studies show there has been no increase in the proportion of British Columbians who exhibit problem gambling behaviours since 1993, demands on problem and responsible gambling programs and services has increased significantly in recent years. This is due in part to the efforts of the Branch to advertise and educate the public about services that are available.
A budget increase in 2007/08 enabled the Branch to expand both its clinical services and education programs, ensuring that appropriate services are available to more British Columbians in more parts of the province.
