Overview

Most people gamble at one time or another. It may be at the TAB, on lotto, on the pokies or in a casino. Many people have a positive attitude towards gambling and do not experience any problems.

However, for some people gambling can become a problem. They believe that gambling can give them a source of income that will fix their financial problems or that gambling will help them to manage their personal, relationship or work problems. Gambling can seriously affect many aspects of an individual’s life. Gambling can also affect family members, friends and carers.
