The Responsible Gambling Council over the past week announced the release of a Gambling, Marketing and Advertising report that was funded by Flutter Entertainment. RGC CEO Sarah McCarthy was in Ottawa with Ontario Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming Stan Cho, OLG head honcho Duncan Hannay and other executive types for the opening of the PlaySmart Centre inside the spanking new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in the nation’s capital.
Speaking of McCarthy, who at the beginning of the year succeeded Shelley White as the new boss of the Toronto-based RGC, she joined colleague Elaine MacDougall for a conversation with your humble host during the Canadian Gaming Summit in June. We asked the new CEO about her decision to leave the Rick Hansen Foundation to lead the Council, and her transition into the new role. McCarthy and MacDougall, who has a new title (Senior VP, Strategy and Programs) for their takeaways from the annual Discovery conference in May, the RGC’s involvement in the recent G7 Canada Brain Economy Summit sessions on responsible gaming and gambling policy, and the council’s ongoing RG efforts – especially in its education programs targeted at youth.
Please excuse any background noise or audio imperfections. This episode was recorded live on the show floor of the 2025 Canadian Gaming Summit in Toronto. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy the conversation.
