Paradise backs campaign to combat youth gambling addiction

Paradise, the casino operator, is backing a campaign to address youth gambling addiction. The company fully funded the production of an advertisement aimed at teenagers, set to launch in late October. The video, titled "I play a different game," encourages young people to steer clear of online gambling and instead focus on their ambitions, dreams, and potential.

The campaign seeks to communicate the risks of gambling using language and imagery that resonates with younger viewers, while also raising public awareness about the issue. This initiative follows a partnership established in September 2025 between Paradise and the Korea Center on Gambling Problems. The two entities signed a memorandum of understanding to create gambling prevention content specifically for teenagers and to expand counseling services.
