The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) has kicked off 2026 with a major push for player education through high-profile sports partnerships. A key initiative includes a new collaboration with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, aimed at increasing awareness of safer gambling practices among hockey fans. This partnership leverages the “big game” atmosphere to deliver prevention messages directly to high-volume betting audiences.

Additionally, the RGC has launched “Beyond the Game,” a free training module specifically designed for student-athletes to understand gambling risks and healthy decision-making. As online sports betting becomes more accessible through smartphones, these educational frameworks are critical in protecting the next generation of fans. Registration for “Discovery 2026,” the premier responsible gambling conference, is also now open, signaling a year of intense focus on harm prevention.
