The Arizona Department of Gaming has launched a public awareness campaign to promote responsible gambling and expand the use of its voluntary self-exclusion program.

The “Take Back the Game” initiative launched on March 30 and includes advertising across social media, television, and radio in both English and Spanish.

A voluntary self-exclusion program launched in the state in the early 2000s for tribal casinos has since expanded to include sports betting and fantasy sports apps.

“Today, with the ‘Take Back the Game’ campaign, our agency affirms the value of self-exclusion as an empowering, practical tool that has positive impacts for thousands of Arizonans,” said Jackie Johnson, director of the Arizona Department of Gaming.
