"I often used to lie about where I was to my children... I arrived late, or had no money, so l'd lie about why I had no money."

It can be tricky to know when gambling goes from having a bit of fun to causing more losses than you actually want or can manage. For others it escalates quickly.

Listen to the first episode of the Not a Dollar More Podcast series which aims to help people understand what 'harmful' gambling actually is.

We interview two people who share their gambling stories and reflect back on how it all started - Elizabeth who gambled on the pokies and Dan whose sports / horse gambling got out of control.
We also chat to Sheryl, a Gambler's Help counsellor about the different levels of gambling harm.
