Had a gutful of gambling? Speak out and make a difference.

Members of our alliance of organisations working for gambling reform have spoken out to call for a total ban on sports gambling ads. Wesley Mission and 13 other organisations sent a joint letter at the beginning of December 2023 to the Prime Minister and Minister for Communications urging them to adopt the recommendation for a total ban on sports gambling advertising. Read the letter here.

Sports betting is fuelling an explosion of gambling harm.

For every person caught in gambling, at least seven others are harmed.

Up to 20% of young people aged 15-17 have bet on sports in the last year.

One in 25 young people experiences gambling harm.

Gambling ads are normalising gambling and ruining our favourite games.

Australians lose $25 billion on gambling each year.
