The Manitoba Gambling Research Program builds gambling research capacity and supports the development of high quality research. This includes funding research that supports the advancement of responsible gambling programs, as well as understanding problem gambling prevention and treatment.

A Research Council, consisting of community members and provincial gambling stakeholders, oversaw the $1 million annual research fund.

All research proposals and reports are peer reviewed to ensure their relevance and quality.

The Manitoba Gambling Research Program, managed by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, is an element of the responsible gambling strategy of the Crown corporation.
