Description

Australians are notorious for their gambling and the government is trying to find solutions to drive that number of gamblers down. There have been recent legal modifications to the way gambling advertisements are presented, where gambling companies were forced to change the "Gamble responsibly" slogan to other alternatives such as "What's Gambling really costing you?" In this episode, we dive into the reasons why Aussies gamble and what makes it so attractive? We also look at the issues Australians face while gambling and the high amount of exposure it has especially on younger Australians. We also look at potential routes to improving this current issue and what others are doing to make it possible.
