Global Payments Thursday announced it has joined the American Gaming Association’s Have A Game Plan, Bet Responsibly public service campaign.
In conjunction with Responsible Gaming Education Week (September 19-25), the Las Vegas-based payment technology company will incorporate Have A Game Plan into its social media channels and customer-oriented marketing. The company also will relay the importance of responsible gaming awareness through its weekly blog series.
“Global Payments is deeply committed to responsible gaming, and this is why we’re proud to join the Have A Game Plan initiative to promote responsible sports wagering,” said Global Payments President Christopher Justice in a statement. “Our success depends on continuing to build strong relationships with our customers that are rooted in education and responsibility.”
“With more Americans able to wager legally than ever before, the gaming industry is committed to making responsibility a key component of the legal sports betting market,” said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller in a statement. “Digital payments provide new tools for responsible gaming and through Global Payments’ partnership, their customers can have a fun, responsible, and seamless betting experience.”
Sports betting is now legal in 32 states and the District of Columbia, with 27 jurisdictions operational, giving 111 million American adults the option of placing legal bets.
Have A Game Plan, launched in late 2019, promotes four core principles of responsible sports betting: setting a budget and stick to it; keep betting social; knowing the odds, and playing with trusted, regulated operators.
Global Payments joins campaign partners including DraftKings, FanDuel, Monumental Sports and Entertainment, NASCAR, the New York Jets, the NHL, the PGA Tour, SeventySix Capital, Sightline Payments, Sinclair Broadcast Group, the UFC, the Vegas Golden Knights, and the Washington Football Team.
