RGC wishes to thank the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, the Manitoba Lotteries Corporation, the Nova Scotia Provincial Lotteries & Casino Corporation, and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation for the financial support that made this project possible. [...] Although the lottery is considered among the less risky types of gambling, it still has the potential to be played in an unsafe manner, and a percentage of lottery players do experience problems related to their play. [...] Given the popularity of lottery gambling, its potential to lead to problematic play, and the sparseness of RG programs for lottery provision, the Responsible Gambling Council’s (RGC) Centre for the Advancement of Best Practices undertook a research project designed to investigate and identify best practices for the responsible provision of lottery operations. [...] Insight 2012 took an in-depth look at current RG practices for lottery provision, considered possible ways those practices could be improved, and explored opportunities for the development of new practices— particularly in light of the new and upcoming forms of lottery delivery. [...] The results provided in this study are expected to help those who participate in lottery gambling be more informed about their play, be better able to manage their play, and be more aware of the potential risks involved and where to get help should they develop problems that require formal assistance.
