Rush Street Interactive (RSI) and Integrity Compliance 360 (IC360) are rolling out a new initiative aimed at addressing gambling literacy among young people. The program, called Gaming Literacy Aiding Decisions (GLAD), focuses on giving educators better tools to inform students about gaming and help them make responsible choices as they grow up in a digital-first world.
Good to know
- GLAD is starting in New Jersey and Delaware through school partnerships.
- RSI and IC360 will support educators with talks and learning materials.
- The campaign targets youth awareness and informed decision-making.
With online gaming and gambling becoming more accessible, RSI and IC360 are stepping in with a program that supports educators at the local level. GLAD is designed to encourage better conversations about gaming in schools by offering guest speakers, printed and digital resources, and structured learning tools.
The campaign aims to prepare students with a balanced understanding of gambling as a form of entertainment—highlighting both the risks and responsibilities that come with it.
Richard Schwartz, CEO of Rush Street Interactive, spoke about why this campaign matters:
“Consumers today have more entertainment options than ever before, including within the gaming space. We appreciate that this expanded landscape offers individuals more ways to fulfill their entertainment needs. As technology continues to evolve, entertainment options, such as online gambling, have become increasingly mainstream and accessible.
Like any material societal change, this evolution requires thoughtful education and honest, open dialogue, particularly for youth who are coming of age in an environment where these choices are all around them. I’ve seen this firsthand with young people in my community. It’s clear that exposure is growing, and with it, the need for responsible frameworks.
We have a responsibility to seek out and create opportunities that empower young people with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions, so that when the time comes, they can determine for themselves, with confidence and understanding, what relationship, if any, they wish to have with gambling products.”
IC360, a compliance and risk-monitoring company, is partnering with RSI to lead the education efforts. Eric Frank, Co-CEO and President of IC360, emphasized the importance of this joint effort:
“We are proud to partner with Rush Street Interactive, a company that has not only identified the need for gambling literacy among young people but has also taken meaningful, proactive steps to lead the way in addressing the critical educational gap.
Their demonstrable commitment to supporting educators and empowering students sets a new standard for creating informed and responsible attitudes towards gambling.”
Program rollout and future plans
GLAD will begin in New Jersey and Delaware, two states where RSI already operates. Local school districts are on board, and teachers will be provided with ready-to-use materials, plus support from visiting speakers arranged by RSI and IC360.
Although only launching in two states for now, the campaign may expand further if the pilot proves effective in engaging students and equipping educators.
