AGA launches anti-human trafficking training

A first-of-its-kind, free online training course has been launched by the American Gaming Association for the gaming industry on how to tackle human trafficking.

Launched on National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and in partnership with RG24seven Virtual Training, the course is the product of experts from AGA’s anti-human trafficking task force, non-profits and law enforcement.

“Combating human trafficking is integral to our industry’s commitment to the communities in which we operate,” said AGA vice president, government relations Alex Costello. “The AGA is proud to lead the industry’s fight against this abhorrent crime and this free training empowers employees at all levels to spot and prevent cases of human trafficking.”

RG24seven CEO Wendy Anderson said: “Responsibility in gaming means more than promoting safer gambling – it means a commitment to all forms of customer and community safety. We’re honoured to work with the AGA and advance the gaming industry’s efforts with the launch of today’s training.”
