British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) Rebranded Self-Exclusion Program in February 2023
In other compliance and regulatory news, the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) recently announced a series of upcoming changes to its voluntary self-exclusion (VSE) program in February 2023.
The program will now be titled “Game Break” and will showcase a new look, along with additional features for players, such as an active reinstatement process for individuals who choose to return to the world of gambling.
Those already a part of the British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) self-exclusion program need not worry, though: the terms of enrolment for the initiative will remain the same, allowing players to choose to enroll in “Game Break” for a six-month, one-year, two-year or three-year term.
Empowering players and removing the social stigma surrounding self-exclusion programs were the main driving forces behind the renaming and rebranding of “Game Break”, according to BCLC director of player health Ryan McCarthy. Ultimately, the company wants players to make the best possible choices for themselves:
“We want players to gamble within their time and money limits, and we want them to feel empowered to take a break if it’s what they need. Taking a break from something is often seen as a positive choice. We’ve designed the Game Break program to reduce barriers and destigmatize self-exclusion, while also including a reinstatement process to help participants better understand their own gambling behaviors if they wish to return to play. The changes to our self-exclusion program are another way that we’re working to help individuals make informed decisions about gambling and provide them with support and resources to help them practice positive play behaviors.”– Ryan McCarthy, Director of Player Health, British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), Press Release
