The 23rd International Center for Responsible Gaming Conference on Gambling and Addiction will take place Oct. 9-10 in Las Vegas at the Venetian Expo. The conference, held in conjunction with the Global Gaming Expo, will feature research on sports wagering, responsible gaming, and gambling disorders.

New findings on the health risks of sports wagering, from research supported by the American Gaming Association; MGM Resorts International; DraftKings; Caesars Entertainment; Entain; NASCAR; Hard Rock International; IGT; and the PGA Tour, also will be discussed.

“The conference will be of special interest to responsible gaming specialists,” said ICRG President Art Paikowsky in a statement. “Topics include self-exclusion, the implications of a ‘Big Win,’ gambling helplines, and data around the usage of responsible gaming tools.”

The ICRG also announced sponsorships for the 2022 conference including IGT; MGM Resorts International; Sands, Inc.; DraftKings; Everi Holdings; Paragon Gaming; and Q Casino.

“The ICRG conference would not be possible without the generous support of the industry,” Paikowsky said.
