Who we are

GameSense was created by BCLC and is now recognized across the industry as a leader in promoting safer gambling attitudes and behaviours. Through honest conversations and trusted information, GameSense makes it easier to understand how gambling works, and how to keep it fun. 

We believe that gambling should always be enjoyable and informed. That’s why GameSense gives you practical tools, real facts, and approachable advice to help you make choices that work for you. Whether you play occasionally or often, we’re here to help you stay in control and confident about the way you play.

Our team includes members focused on player health programs, advancement, and training, as well as our friendly GameSense Advisors who are available online, by phone, and in person at your local casino and community gaming centres across BC.

What we do

GameSense is your source for tips, tools and support to help keep gambling fun.

With GameSense, you can learn about behaviors to help keep play positive and fun. We’ll also teach you how the games you’re playing work, because when you understand the game you can make more informed decisions. And if gambling stops being fun, we’re here to help too.

From your first spin at the slots, to picking your lottery numbers, or for bets on your favorite sports team, GameSense is here to help guide you every step of your play.
