Sports Toto Betman to launch youth gambling prevention campaign from March 24

The campaign was designed to prevent teenagers from exposing illegal gambling along with establishing a healthy leisure culture. Recently, as access to illegal gambling through online and mobile platforms has increased, the risk of gambling addiction among adolescents is also increasing at the same time. In response, Sports Toto Korea planned this campaign to actively prevent and respond to the problem of illegal gambling among youth.
The `Youth Gambling Prevention Campaign' will be conducted on the Betman website by taking a pledge to protect the youth. Betman users who participated in the pledge are automatically registered as winners of the prize lottery, and various prizes such as Kyochon Chicken Honey Original and Colaset (10 people), McDonald's 1955 Burger Set (30 people), and Starbucks Americano (30 people) will be offered through the lottery. The winners of the prize will be announced on April 7.
In the campaign, it is not just a pledge, but practical measures to prevent youth gambling problems will also be presented. Major action measures included ▶ improvement of environmental factors such as smartphone use management ▶ emotional support through communication with family ▶ education to induce responsible behavior.
In addition to this, a support system has been established so that teenagers exposed to gambling problems can receive a one-stop service for youth gambling SOS along with phone calls (help line 1336), text messages (#1336), and KakaoTalk (chatbot) counseling from the 「Korea Gambling Problem Prevention and Healing Center」.
'Youth Gambling SOS' is a program that provides services such as psychological evaluation, individual and group counseling, and hospital treatment support by stopping youth gambling problems with the prevention of 'STOP' and informing 'OPEN' early intervention.
We hope that the public will recognize the seriousness of the youth gambling problem through this campaign and actively participate in preventive activities, a Sports Toto Korea official said. We expect to contribute to the creation of a healthy leisure culture through problems and responses to illegal gambling among youth.
Meanwhile, more details on 'Youth Gambling Prevention Campaign' can be found on the event page on the Betman website.
