Pause Before You Play

Pause Before You Play as the main Responsible Gambling campaign for Ohio!
Ohio for Responsible Gambling has changed their name and image to more directly address sports betting as its popularity continues to grow in Ohio, while still speaking to other forms of gambling. Pause Before You Play has replaced the award-winning Get Set Before You Bet campaign to provide new and improved resources and materials.

Along with the rebrand, the entirely new website provides a seamless user experience from beginning to end and offers resources for Ohioans to engage with gambling responsibly.  

Why Should You Pause Before You Play?
With more forms of gambling accessible throughout Ohio, bets can be placed easier and quicker than ever before. But betting too fast can lead to making bets without thinking about the risk, which can lead to developing a problem with gambling. That’s why it’s so important to take a moment before placing a bet to pause, consider the risks, and set limits.
