What lottery & gaming clients hire us for

Responsible-gambling programs including targeting opt-outs, self-exclusion integration, and age/jurisdiction verification flows. Loyalty and CRM lifecycle programs that respect player-protection rules. Brand and positioning for new lottery products, casino rebrands, and regulated iGaming entrants. Public opinion and policy research for expanding gaming markets.

What's different about lottery & gaming at NUUN

Regulator compliance is table stakes, not differentiation. Every campaign is built to pass provincial and state regulator review. We work with — not around — responsible-gambling protections.

Canadian-specific lottery and gaming depth. We've worked with provincial lottery and gaming corporations; the operational realities (public trust, policy scrutiny, player protection) shape our approach. Research that respects the audience — gambling research carries added respondent-protection considerations. Our instruments are reviewed for responsible-gambling framing and screen for at-risk patterns.

Lottery & Gaming FAQ.

Do you work with offshore or unregulated gaming operators?
No. We work only with operators licensed and regulated in the jurisdictions they serve. This is a policy-driven constraint, not a case-by-case judgment.
How do you handle responsible-gambling requirements in marketing?
Every campaign includes responsible-gambling messaging calibrated to the regulator's requirements. Targeting excludes self-excluded players, under-age audiences, and — where the client's CRM supports it — at-risk play-pattern segments. Creative goes through regulator review.
Do you do research on problem gambling?
We do player research that includes responsible-play dimensions and screens for at-risk behaviour. We do not do marketing targeting at-risk players. We do undertake research commissioned by regulators or public-health clients on gambling-related harms.
What's your approach to iGaming in newly regulated markets (Ontario, multiple US states)?
Market-entry work starts with regulator mapping, responsible-play framework review, and segmentation that separates new-to-category from switchers. Claims and creative are built for the specific jurisdiction's advertising rules.
Can you work across provincial and state jurisdictions?
Yes. Canadian provincial (Alberta, Ontario, BC, Quebec, Atlantic) and US state gaming work requires jurisdiction-specific compliance. We structure multi-jurisdiction engagements with jurisdiction-specific compliance flows.
Do you work with charitable and community lotteries alongside commercial operators?
Yes. Charitable and community lotteries follow different rules and different brand expectations — typically higher public-trust requirements and tighter creative constraints. We scope charitable engagements with that reality in mind.
