25.01.2022 "Families are continuing to count the cost of a culture awash with opportunities and enticements to place high-stakes bets." In Australia 3 in 4 kids think gambling is a normal part of sport. Enough is enough.

24.01.2022 For the love of sport. #EndGamblingAds

22.01.2022 Gambling giants flout advertising rules to target children this is from the UK but there is no doubt this is happening in Australia too #EndGamblingAds

21.01.2022 Richard Di Natale highlighted in his leaving speech the need for gambling reform and expressed how hard the battle for it is when the industry has its claws so deeply into the two major parties. "The first political fight I saw up close in this place was watching a cashed-up gambling lobby descend on parliament house like a pack of vultures and shamelessly sink popular pokies reform. Since that time I’ve seen the same story play out over and over again."

20.01.2022 "Ruling bodies have become dab hands at spinning the ground made in shielding children from gambling advertising and fighting the scourge of corruption, data-sharing and grooming. And professional sport in Australia remains coy about its relationship with the betting industry."

20.01.2022 Last Friday we were out in full force demanding reduced opening hours for Victoria pokies! We know reduced opening hours assists in reducing gambling harm, our Lawmakers need to do more. Sign the petition>> https://www.pokiesplayyou.org.au/reduced_opening_hours_vic 9 News Melbourne

19.01.2022 Denise is right, gambling has infiltrated so much of our lives #EndGamblingAds

18.01.2022 Players’ consent is not sought before even offering gambling markets on their performance makes this situation even more egregious and alarming. The AFL must act immediately to protect players, starting with ending its own cozy relationship with corporate bookies!

18.01.2022 Rev Costello said reports of increased demand for gambling addiction treatment services also indicated gambling harm was spiking for many people during the pandemic. As an addictive product, gambling can be sought out by people to self-soothe during times of stress, he said. Gambling is also known to increase during economic crises. We haven’t seen a single preventative government health message to counter the avalanche of wagering advertising hitting our television screens or the wave of harm likely to follow."

17.01.2022 Well put Tim! #EndGamblingAds

17.01.2022 3 in 4 Aussie kids already can name 4 or more brands of betting companies! What are we teaching the next generation? Let's let kids be kids. #EndGamblingAds

16.01.2022 SBS has a new Board Director. In a press release the Special Broadcasting Service announced; "Mr Savvides' appointment will ensure the media organisation continues to entertain, inform and serve Australians." Do you think broadcasting harmful gambling ads is serving Australians? Let's hold them to their word. Sign the petition to get gambling ads off SBS!

15.01.2022 On International Women's Day we would like to recognise the impacts gambling harm has on women in Australia. This podcast dives into a key study conducted by ANU: "The study found women are more likely to be affected by a partner or family member facing gambling harm and that women experience higher emotional impacts."... #IWD

15.01.2022 Is this any surprise though given how aggressively gambling is marketed in Australia? Imagine the type of person you’d have to be to send a direct message to a pro athlete complaining about your speculative $10 multi not coming off. Seriously.... #EndGamblingAds

15.01.2022 Absolutely appalling! Let kids, be kids. #EndGamblingAds

14.01.2022 The height of hypocrisy. The AFL "lectures players and officials about not gambling on the game, and then happily takes a slice of the action." Time they put players and the community first and end their lucrative sponsorship dealings with Sportsbet.

10.01.2022 "I saw a strong man crumbling" AFLW player Abbey Holmes shares her friends story in the hopes of raising awareness about gambling harm. #EndGamblingAds

07.01.2022 Carlton Football Club are surveying community members on their attitudes toward gambling & sport. If you love the game but hate all the ads, jump on over and let them know! While you're at it, you might also want to write to the Blues telling them to ditch their pokies! https://www.pokiesplayyou.org.au/write_carlton. Last year Carlton's pokies habit saw $13.4m ripped from the community at its 4 gambling venues hosting staggering 290 machines!

07.01.2022 "An Australian Gambling Research Centre report in October last year revealed that young men aged between 18 and 34 years increased the frequency of their gambling and nearly doubled their expenditure." The normalisation of gambling through gambling advertisements is harmful and needs to end! #EndGamblingAds

05.01.2022 There is a problematic culture of ties to the gambling industry in the AFL! You get in an environment where you have got boys hanging out with each other for a number of hours throughout a day and it can start as something really small and then become quite addictive really quickly.

05.01.2022 What do you think of our plan to win? #EndGamblingAds

03.01.2022 Just another example of government handouts lining the pockets of big business while Foxtel continue to broadcast and profit from harmful gambling ads.

01.01.2022 "A new report has found many children have significantly increased the amount of time they spend on digital devices during the pandemic." 1 in 4 children can name four gambling brands or more. This normalisation of gambling is so harmful to our kids. #EndGamblingAds
