The provincial government wants people to gamble responsibly and have fun doing it.

As part of Responsible Gambling Awareness Week from October 15-21, casinos, bingo halls, racing entertainment centres and VLT locations will offer information on warning signs of unhealthy behaviour as well as keeping a healthy perspective of gambling.

And there is an app for that, called the “Take 10 App”. It helps users find tips on how to take breaks from gambling.

More information can be found at setalimitalberta.ca.
