“Losing Bet” will equip RMA members with the tools necessary to understand and advocate for changes to the charitable gaming model.
RMA is concerned about the inequities faced by rural organizations through the current charitable gaming model. Despite many years of advocacy from RMA and other rural stakeholders, the Government of Alberta has taken no action to ensure gaming funds are distributed equitably to charitable organizations across the province.
RMA is not backing down from this issue. That is why RMA has launched “Losing Bet,” a campaign that will call on the Government of Alberta to make changes to the charitable gaming model to address the inequities that currently exist.
This week, “Losing Bet” will provide an overview of the rise of online gaming in Alberta and how the model can be revised to ensure optimal benefit for rural charitable organizations. This will set the stage for the grand finale of this campaign, where RMA will be releasing a full charitable gaming report that does a deep dive into understanding all of the issues that were discussed throughout the past few weeks.
To follow along with this campaign, please visit the RMA’s Charitable Gaming Resources webpage and subscribe to the RMA’s Contact Newsletter to stay up to date with the release of further information!
