These guidelines will help people make informed decisions about their gambling. Methods: In April 2016, a scientific working group was formed and tasked with synthesizing available evidence from two Canadian and eight international population datasets (from the United States, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, France, Australia, and New Zealand) on the relationship between gambling involvement (i.e., frequency, expenditure, and duration) and gambling related harms (i.e., financial, relationship, emotional, and physical harms). A national advisory committee, including partners from government and industry, was formed to review the evidence and oversee the development of the LRGGs. Results: In late 2018, preliminary LRGGs were developed, presented and discussed with a team of international collaborators and the national advisory committee. These preliminary limits will be presented. A final technical report detailing the final guidelines, the evidence that informed their development, limitations, and essential contextual factors will be published in March 2020.
