Here to help you learn about the risks of gambling…

The Gambling Awareness Program was always intended to help educate Saskatchewan’s youth and general public about the potential risks associated with gambling. Gambling can be an enjoyable pastime, however, gambling can also become addictive. Today, in the digital era, gambling is widely available on a number of different devices and in many different formats. The GAP blog will help you to understand the modern age of gambling so that you can be better informed and confident in how you or your children navigate this changing landscape.
