Gambling awareness for seniors
Gambling involves risking money or valuables on events determined by chance, such as Lotto, scratchies, pokies, and sports betting.
While common in Australia, gambling can cause significant harm, affecting finances, relationships, and mental health. Australians lose $25 billion annually on gambling, with NSW having one gaming machine for every 88 people.
Myths like the "Gambler's Fallacy" fuel harmful behaviours, but support is available.
GambleAware offers free, confidential services in the Inner West to help those affected.
