Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR), the largest casino-entertainment company in the U.S., is celebrating 35 years of its pioneering Responsible Gaming program during Responsible Gaming Education Month this September. Caesars was the first commercial casino company to officially address problem gambling creating the industry’s first Responsible Gaming program in 1989 when it introduced Project 21. Since then, the Company has been at the forefront of Responsible Gaming, launching the first national helpline for those experiencing gambling problems, implementing robust Team Member training, offering funding for organizations providing problem gambling resources and services, encouraging customers to use tools such as betting limits and self-exclusion policies, releasing national Responsible Gaming advertisements and more.

“Responsible Gaming is at the heart of our business and it’s imperative that we provide the best resources for our guests to encourage safe play,” said Tom Reeg, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. “Through the hard work of our Team Members over the last 35 years, we’ve innovated and invested to provide guests with various tools and education opportunities and championing industry change. We’re proud to be a leader in Responsible Gaming and look forward to expanding our programming as the gaming industry evolves.”

Through Caesars' PEOPLE PLANET PLAY framework, which provides guidance for the Company to ensure it is acting with integrity and care for its Team Members, communities and the environment, Caesars has implemented a myriad of Responsible Gaming initiatives over the last three decades, including:

  • Project 21: In 1989, Caesars Entertainment introduced the "Project 21" program, which educated Team Members about their responsibility to deter underage gambling and the service of alcoholic beverages to minors.
  • Industry Recognition: In 1990, Caesars was the first gaming company to have its CEO recognized by the National Council on Problem Gambling for lifetime contributions to responsible gaming.

  • First National Helpline: In 1995, Caesars, in partnership with AT&T and the National Council on Problem Gambling, established the first national toll-free helpline for anyone needing assistance. Caesars was also the first casino company to promote that helpline through multiple customer communication channels.
  • Nationwide Self-Exclusion: In 1999, Caesars became the first gaming company to offer a nationwide self-exclusion and self-restriction program. This policy allowed a guest to request that all privileges, including play privileges, be denied at any Caesars-owned, managed, operated and serviced properties.

  • Betting Limits: In 2013, Caesars introduced its first-ever online gambling product, offering guests the option to limit their bets and deposits.
  • Enhanced 21+ policy: In 2023, Caesars adopted an enhanced 21+ gaming policy that prevents individuals under the age of 21 from using Caesars Rewards® and limits access to gaming products for individuals under the age of 21. No customers under 21 are permitted to wager on any Caesars Sportsbook, Caesars Racebook, or iGaming mobile apps.
  • Universal Exclusion: In 2023, Caesars expanded its self-exclusion program by implementing the industry’s most expansive universal exclusion policy. The policy applies across the Company's robust gaming portfolio and encompasses all of Caesars Entertainment's offerings, including Caesars Sportsbook, iGaming and brick-and-mortar facilities.
