Marcus 62, Newcastle.
“I want to take back control of my money and time”
After I lost my wife, I’d spend every evening in the club on the pokies and playing keno. I realised I had a problem when I couldn’t afford a new fridge.
Abbas, 43, Bankstown.
“We’ve got a good life here as a family, I don’t want to put my relationships in danger”
I moved to Australia from Egypt and got a good job. I go to the pub with my workmates, who would drink and bet on races and
them and kept it a secret from my wife and family. I want to stop, but it’s hard.
Scott, 22, Bondi.
“If you’re smart and have enough nerve, you can win anything”
I work in financial management and loads of the guys bet on anything – who will get the next promotion at work, the elections, whatever. Sometimes I have a bad losing streak and I start to worry about how much money I’m losing. My brother is threatening to tell our parents.
Simone, 21, Sydney.
“I love my mum but I don’t want to give her another cent. I feel like a human ATM”
My mum’s been into gambling for a long time, pokies, keno, lotto. I never thought much of it until a year ago when she started asking me for money. I felt bad and thought it was just a temporary issue, so I gave her what I could. But it didn’t stop.
Nelly, 46, Wagga Wagga.
“My family live in another state, and I got divorced a few years ago”
I started spending more time at local club as I was lonely after my divorce. I like playing the pokies, it keeps me occupied, and I get to spend time around
many people that I gamble because they might judge me.

There are a number of legal constructs that can be established to support a coalition. Providers must decide what works best for them. Some examples include:
