The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) unveiled an upgraded website for its statewide responsible gaming initiative, Don’t Regret the Bet, during Problem Gambling Awareness Month. The refreshed platform offers new educational resources, support tools, and guidance to help individuals make informed decisions about gambling.
The website now features pages on recognizing problem gambling, understanding risk factors, accessing confidential support, and assisting loved ones who may be struggling. Its improved navigation and mobile accessibility aim to help visitors quickly locate relevant information. The expansion also includes interactive tools and updated content to address emerging gambling trends, including online and mobile wagering.
“Responsible gaming starts with awareness and access to reliable information,” said Henry Williams, Executive Director of the Michigan Gaming Control Board. “By expanding our website, we are making it easier for Michiganders to understand the risks associated with gambling and to connect with help if they need it.”
The new site also introduces a Youth Gambling Prevention section. Research indicates that children introduced to casual betting before age 12 are four times more likely to develop gambling problems later in life. Providing parents, educators, and community leaders with practical tools and research-based guidance seeks to reduce stigma and encourage early intervention. Other enhancements include updated FAQs, prevention resources, direct links to the Michigan Problem Gambling Helpline, and guidance for community organizations supporting at-risk individuals.

Continued Focus On Public Education
The MGCB’s website refresh and the ongoing monitoring of iGaming and sports betting revenues reflect the Board’s commitment to public education and player protection. With online gambling expanding across Michigan, these measures aim to ensure players have access to reliable guidance and support while contributing to state and local revenue streams. The enhanced site also encourages individuals to take personal responsibility and make informed choices about wagering, emphasizing early intervention and community awareness.
