PCSO launches Responsible Gaming Awareness Day
THE Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) officially launched Responsible Gaming Awareness Day yesterday dubbed “Play Smart, Play Safe.”
This initiative highlighted the agency’s commitment to fostering a culture of mindful play and player protection.
PCSO is dedicated to ensuring that gaming remains an enjoyable and safe activity while generating funds for charitable causes.
General Manager Mel Robles emphasized that gaming is not just about numbers and luck; it’s fundamentally about people.
“We continuously refine our strategies to prevent potential problems before they arise,” he stated.
“Responsible gaming is not merely a policy; it is a core principle embedded in PCSO’s operations,” Robles added.
Last year, PCSO achieved Responsible Gaming Level 2 certification from the World Lottery Association, underscoring its dedication to promoting a secure and responsible gaming environment.
To support this ongoing advocacy, PCSO has implemented several measures to promote responsible gaming including employee training, game design, ethical marketing, and accessible resources.
PCSO also encouraged its stakeholders—Lotto outlets, STL stations, and authorized agents—to actively support the campaign.
“Gaming should be exciting, enjoyable, and, above all, safe, ” Robles added.
