We want Ohio Lottery players to have fun while sticking to limits when it comes to gambling, which is why responsible gambling initiatives are so important to us. Back in March, we launched a new awareness campaign and website called Keep It Fun, Ohio.
The goal of Keep It Fun, Ohio is to teach Ohioans ways to keep gambling within limits and how to spot a gambling problem. Some tips found on the website include:
-
Set limits on how much time and money you will spend gambling
-
Spend only what you can afford to lose
-
Gamble for fun, not to solve financial problems or avoid depression
The website is also home to the Keep It Fun Costulator, which calculates how much you’re spending on gambling. Visitors to this website will also find a direct line to help those struggling with a gambling addiction.
Anyone who gambles can develop a problem. If you have a gambling problem or suspect a loved one has a gambling problem, help is available. Call the Ohio Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-589-9966 or visit www.gamblinghelpohio.org.
