The American Gaming Association Tuesday announced that Penn National Gaming is the newest member of its Have A Game Plan. Bet Responsibly campaign.

Penn National will promote “Have A Game Plan”  responsible sports betting content through its Barstool Sportsbook digital platforms and social media accounts. The Company will also activate  Have A Game Plan  in all of Penn National’s brick-and-mortar sportsbook locations.

“Responsible gaming is core to our sports betting operations, and we’re thrilled to extend these efforts through our partnership with the AGA’s  Have A Game Plan  initiative,” said Penn National’s Head of Interactive Jon Kaplowitz in a statement. “Our customers are sports fans first, and this campaign will allow us to educate everyone, whether they are new to sports betting or seasoned bettors, on how to wager responsibly in a fan-friendly way.”

The AGA launched  Have A Game Plan in 2019 to teach consumers the fundamentals of responsible sports betting as legal wagering options expanded in the U.S. The initiative focuses on four key tenets of responsible gaming: setting a budget and sticking to it; keeping betting social; knowing the odds; and playing with trusted, regulated operators.

“Penn National’s expansive digital and land-based footprint will amplify our  Have A Game Plan  campaign to consumers across the country,” said AGA Senior Vice President Casey Clark in a statement. “We are appreciative of Penn National’s significant commitment to the campaign as we collectively work to ensure every sports bettor is equipped with the knowledge to wager responsibly.”

Penn National joins more than 20 partners in the AGA’s Have A Game Plan  campaign, including sports leagues, teams, media companies and other gaming operators. For more information, please visit  HaveAGamePlan.org.
