It’s important to recognise that gambling can be addictive and for some it can be highly destructive, ruining lives and destroying families.
Read more about the impact of gambling on the problemgambling.gov.au website.
It’s also important to know that if your gambling is worrying you, there are people you can talk to about it.
Sometimes thinking about a gambling issue is hard. Making a decision on what to do next can be as difficult as knowing when to walk away.
The Gambling help website provides services to help:
