Mohegan Sun has been honored with the National Council on Problem Gambling’s (NCPG) 2026 Corporate People’s Choice Award in recognition of its “Winning Starts with Responsible Play” campaign, a comprehensive initiative designed to promote responsible gaming awareness, connect guests with valuable resources and empower Team Members through education and training.
The award was presented during the NCPG Annual Conference 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee on July 24th, where individuals and organizations were honored for making vital contributions to responsible gambling, prevention, treatment, research, recovery and public awareness.
“Mohegan Sun has long been a proud partner of the National Council on Problem Gambling and other organizations dedicated to advancing responsible gaming, including the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. “This recognition for our “Winning Starts with Responsible Play” campaign is very meaningful and is a testament to how hard our thousands of Team Members work to help support and foster an environment of responsible play.”
The “Winning Starts with Responsible Play” campaign became a highly visible awareness effort throughout Mohegan Sun and across mohegansun.com. Engaging creative assets and educational messaging encouraged guests to learn about available responsible gaming tools and resources while reinforcing the importance of informed decision-making.
The campaign reached guests and employees through a variety of touchpoints, including:
- Activation on more than 70 digital screens throughout the resort
- Hotel in-room information materials
- Responsible gaming signage at all resort entrances and exits
- Guest Assistance Center resources
- Responsible gaming brochures and information cards throughout Mohegan Sun
- Internal Team Member communications and training programs
- Digital messaging

- QR codes providing access to multilingual responsible gaming information and resources
Guests were also encouraged to learn about responsible gaming resources, including self-exclusion programs, credit management tools and Connecticut’s 24/7 problem gambling helpline. (1.888.789.7777)
