The NCRG, the Institute for Research on Pathological Gambling and Related Disorders and the American Gaming Association (AGA) work together to develop programs that increase awareness about gambling disorders and promote responsible gaming. These programs include the NCRG’s Annual Conference on Gambling and Addiction, Responsible Gaming Education Week and EMERGE (Executive, Management and Employee Responsible Gaming Education), a new online training program for gaming employees.  The NCRG also runs the Partnership for Excellence in Education and Responsible Gaming (PEER), a one-of-a-kind program to provide gaming entities with the tools and resources needed to develop a comprehensive and world class responsible gaming program.
