The U.S. Gaming Association (AGA) has teamed up with RG24seven, a digital education platform, to introduce a new project focused on addressing human trafficking. This endeavor, launched in conjunction with National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, provides a collection of complimentary online materials specifically crafted for the gaming sector.
Leveraging the knowledge of law enforcement agencies, charitable organizations, and the AGA’s own Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force, the instruction encompasses videos and interactive activities to educate participants on identifying and reacting to possible trafficking scenarios. Individuals who finish the training will obtain a certification. Organizations interested in utilizing the training can reach out to RG24seven directly.
The AGA is not the sole entity dedicated to combating this offense. Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming, as an example, have also strengthened their own initiatives to educate personnel on trafficking awareness and deterrence. In recent times, Hard Rock has trained upwards of 27,000 hotel and casino staff members alone.
“Combating human trafficking is integral to our industry’s dedication to the populations we serve,” stated Alex Costello, AGA Vice President of Government Relations.
The United States Gaming Group (USGG) is taking a firm position against human exploitation, a terrible offense that targets susceptible people. They have initiated a complimentary educational course intended to furnish casino personnel at every level with the means to identify and disclose suspected exploitation incidents. Wendy Anderson, head of RG24seven, the firm responsible for the course, conveyed her eagerness to collaborate with the USGG in this vital endeavor.
The USGG’s dedication goes beyond instruction. They are also issuing a thorough anti-exploitation resource specifically for the gambling sector, coinciding with National Human Exploitation Awareness Month. This project is further bolstered by the participation of the University of Maryland’s Center for Safety Research and various federal departments.
