The Manitoba Gaming Control Commission (MGCC) is committed to building a strong foundation of valid and reliable empirical research to inform our operational, policy advisory and public interest activities. As such, we have developed a robust research agenda that is updated annually to reflect evolving research priorities. Articulating research goals allows the MGCC to undertake strategic research projects that best support our broad regulatory responsibilities.

In addition to conducting independent projects, the MGCC collaborates with provincial, national and international research partners to build research capacity and contribute to major research initiatives.

We combine academic standards with our regulatory perspective to be a leader in gambling research relevant to Manitoba’s gaming environment.
