Know your losses: a major new gambling reform

In a major new reform, Aussies using online betting accounts will receive a monthly statement detailing their losses. It means people with gambling issues will be able to take stock of their decisions with complete transparency.

Advocates like Lauren Levin, Director of Policy and Campaigns with Financial Counselling Australia, hope the statement will also open the conversation up about what a responsible amount to bet is. Anthony, a reformed problem gambler, joins us to explain how much he lost and how he turned his life around. He says the statement will definitely help.

In today’s Briefing, could these gambling statements change lives for the better?

If you have gambling issues and you want to speak to someone, call the National Gambling Hotline on 1800 858 858 or the National Debt Helpline, to talk to a financial counsellor, on 1800 007 007
