There are various approaches to promote responsible gambling. Some examples are education campaigns, behaviour monitoring, helpline services, and environmental modifications. The effectiveness of these approaches, however, is unclear.
Many research articles discuss the Reno Model. The Reno Model provides a framework to guide harm-reduction practices. It emphasizes that governing bodies and the gambling industry should promote responsible gambling. It also emphasizes that people who gamble should learn about gambling and only bet what they can afford to lose. However, it is unclear the extent to which the Reno Model has an impact on responsible gambling behaviours. Some researchers also believe the model has a narrow focus, and that harm-reduction activities should consider other factors such as economic disparities and level of education.
