It comes as the organization reports significant engagement with problem gambling resources while also warning about rising online gambling exposure.<\/p>\n<p>During the last awareness week in November, more than 3,700 users accessed responsible gambling tools, and over 1,000 patrons completed surveys during the campaign. Digital outreach tied to the awareness week generated more than 1.75 million ad views across social media and other platforms. The <a href=\"https:\/\/siga.ca\/responsible-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">SIGA GameSense website<\/a> also logged 5,058 direct visits during the same period.<\/p>\n<p>While SIGA does not release figures on voluntary self-exclusions from its casinos due to confidentiality, it said the program remains widely used and actively promoted as part of its harm reduction strategy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSelf-exclusion is actively promoted at every casino and through every awareness campaign,\u201d said Lillian Denton, SIGA\u2019s director of corporate social responsibility. She said staff are trained to help patrons enroll in the Voluntary Self-Exclusion program in person or remotely, with options ranging from six months to five years. The program also extends to SIGA\u2019s online gaming platform, <a href=\"http:\/\/PlayNow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">PlayNow.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SIGA will have information tables set up at all seven SIGA casinos, providing patrons with resources to help&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":946641,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4317],"tags":[105,218,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-946640","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-mental-health","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116540407072241251","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=946640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/946640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/946641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=946640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=946640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=946640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
