Are you struggling with gambling? The holiday period can bring extra pressure when social events and work gatherings make gambling urges stronger.

We can help you to protect yourself from financial and emotional harm through free and confidential support. Help is available for anyone affected by someone else’s gambling, not just people who gamble!

For help over the holidays, call Gambler's Help on 1800 858 858 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or listen to our Not a Dollar More Podcast: https://loom.ly/wS-mCMM

Gambling harm isn’t always easy to spot. It might look like stress, mood swings, or switching between betting apps.
If you’ve noticed this in yourself, a mate, a family member or someone close to you, setting limits can help.
Try gambling no more than once a week or stick to two gambling products or fewer.
Small steps can make a big difference.

"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.

Listen to the episode here: https://loom.ly/Tl8SYos or on any popular podcasting app.
