About Us

The Province of British Columbia is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and addressing problem gambling. With regard to responsible gambling, this commitment takes the form of a partnership involving the BC government, British Columbia Lottery Corporation and BC's gaming service providers. The Responsible Gambling Program, which provides services to those affected by problem gambling, is fully funded by the Province.

The members of BC's Partnership for Responsible Gambling work together towards three goals: reduce the incidence of problem gambling, reduce the harmful impacts of excessive gambling, and ensure the delivery of gambling in a manner that encourages responsible gambling and healthy choices.

The Province is committed to supporting programs and initiatives that promote responsible gambling and address the harmful impacts of problem gambling. These programs include a province-wide network of counsellors that provide counselling free of charge to anyone experiencing or affected by problem gambling.
