The course will examine the nature and prevalence of problem gambling, the role of government and the industry in addressing the issue, and best practices to address it including prevention, education, and treatment. This course will not only focus on the problem but will also provide practical, research-based solutions that various jurisdictions around the world have implemented. This course explores responsible gambling as a player protection mechanism, addressing both prevention and harm minimization. This course will also examine limitations on gaming advertising and related approaches jurisdictions have explored to address problem gaming.
The program will be offered in an Asynchronous format with course content hosted on the university's non-credit learning management system, UNLVGO, powered by Canvas. Designed to be completed over three months, participants will be able to complete 20-25 hours of training with each course through the online portal.
