What are you gambling with?

Oct 17, 2022, 09:16 AM

With Gambling Harm Awareness Week 2022 kicking off today, Western Australians are being encouraged to recognise the warning signs of gambling-related harm and seek help.

The new campaign “What are you gambling with?” targets online and in-person gambling with social media posts, radio adverts and online commercials. Watch the latest TVC on the Gamble Aware Facebook page  

Gambling can start harmlessly with a bit of spare cash but can move pretty quickly to borrowed money, savings, rent and mortgage payments.

Warning signs of gambling-related harm may include: 

  • spending more time or money than you can afford to lose
  • arguing with family and friends after gambling
  • borrowing money or selling assets to gamble.

If you’re gambling with more than you can afford to lose, help is available. Visit the Gamble Aware website or call 1800 858 858 for free advice and support.
