“As part of our mandate, gaming operators are prohibited from establishing facilities near schools and religious institutions. If an applicant’s proposed location is too close to these areas, we will not grant a license. Our goal is to prevent school children from being drawn into gambling at the expense of their education… We will take firm action against illegal gambling operators and ensure strict enforcement of the law,” Quainoo stated.
In addition to regulatory measures, the Commission is proactively addressing the issue of gambling addiction. The Commissioner announced plans to work alongside psychologists to provide necessary support to individuals grappling with gambling-related challenges.
