This year, a record-breaking number of participants have registered to be a part of the Gift Responsibly / Too Young to Bet Campaign, with over 230 participants signed on to help raise awareness about the risks of underage gambling.

For the eighth consecutive year, 100% of eligible US and Canadian lotteries have registered for the campaign, ensuring that a responsible gifting message is present during the holiday season.
