The main message of the campaign is that those who gamble should do so for fun, knowing their financial limits and when to stop, without compromising their income. With the message “Those who know how to gamble don’t get lost,” the action highlights the importance of setting limits on how much time and money to spend on gambling and viewing it as a game, in which one can win, but also lose.
“We are launching another educational action on responsible gambling. With the slogan ‘Those who know how to play don’t get lost - Play for fun and within your financial limits’, we seek to raise awareness that gambling is entertainment and fun and can never be seen as a way to recover financial losses or get rich,” says Lottopar’s president, Daniel Romanowski.
In October, Paraná Lottery held Responsible Gaming Week, with discussions and debates to raise awareness and education in the sports betting environment. The meeting brought together several experts from the sector, with the main focus on regulation, which brought standards to a market that previously operated without rules, aiming to promote actions that foster safe and responsible gambling in the betting environment with protection for the bettor.
Lottopar also established rules to ensure that advertising by lottery operators in the state complies with good responsible gaming practices. Among the measures are the restriction of access to sports betting platforms and other lottery operations by minors under 18 years of age, as well as rules on the use of celebrities in advertising campaigns.
Other actions
Lottopar launched a video on Responsible and Safe Gaming last year, which can be accessed here. It presents actions that must be followed by lottery operators authorized to operate in Paraná to promote Safe and Responsible Gaming, as well as the inspection actions of the Paraná Lottery to ensure compliance with these rules.
Guidelines are provided to bettors on how to bet in a moderate and responsible manner. In addition, a Guide on Responsible and Safe Gaming was created and a page dedicated to the topic, which can be accessed here.
