What is gambling really costing you?

Gambling Harm Awareness Week 2023 runs from 16 to 22 October but the Gamble Aware campaign is all year-round.

What are you really gambling with?

For many people gambling is a bit of fun using some spare cash but for some this can quickly become a harmful habit using up savings, borrowed money, rent or mortgage payments.

Gambling can be harmful if you are spending more than you can afford to lose. It can lead to lying, arguing with family and losing friendships.

The State Government funds support services that are free for users:

24/7 helpline: 1800 858 858
face to face counselling via Gambling Help WA.

If you think you may be affected by gambling related harm, visit the Gamble Aware website to take a short test and find strategies to stop you or a loved one from betting such as the BETSTOP national self-exclusion register.
