NCRG Announces Next Phase of College Gambling Initiative

by: NCRG staff | Jul 12, 2010

Posted in:
  • ICRG News

The National Center for Responsible Gaming recently announced the formation of an advisory committee to guide the development of a new website to help colleges and universities address gambling and gambling problems among students. Scheduled to launch in 2011, collegegambling.org will provide a host of free, science-based resources to administrators, student health and life professionals, current and prospective college students and parents. The new website answers the call issued by the Task Force on College Gambling Policies to disseminate research-based harm reduction strategies and programs to U.S. colleges and universities. Because only about one-fifth of U.S. colleges and universities have a gambling policy, the task force identified the need to provide science-based, accessible resources to schools interested in addressing gambling on their campuses.
