GameSense
At PURE, we fully support responsible gaming and AGLC’s Game Sense program. With representatives at each of our properties, GameSense advisors provide excellent support to players by helping them understand the odds of winning, learn about chance vs skill-based games, dispel commonly held gambling myths and to know where to find the tools and resources needed to play better.
For most players, gambling is an affordable form of entertainment. For those, however, who find themselves gambling too much, players may choose voluntary self-exclusion.
AGLC’s Annual Responsible Gaming Week connects PURE and GameSense advisors to focus on healthy behaviors and support.
Voluntary Self-Exclusion
Voluntary Self-Exclusion is a program designed to help individuals honor their personal commitment to take a break from gambling. The program offers durations ranging from six months to indefinite, depending on the jurisdiction. It can be applied to facilities with slot machines, table games or bingo in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario, and internet gambling sites in British Columbia and Ontario.
Self-exclusion begins as soon as a person signs up and cannot be changed or cancelled until the chosen term has expired. The program is a personal choice and cannot be imposed on an individual.
All gaming team members are trained to recognize the differences between healthy and at-risk gambling behavior and also learn how to appropriately respond if someone at their facility appears to have a problem with gambling.
Resources are readily available for problem gaming or gambling addiction both through GameSense, Alberta Health Services and the Canadian Mental Health Association.
