Dave's story

My problem started with online pokies, I’ve lost about $70,000 in the past 3 years. The problem with online gambling is that you don’t even have to leave your house to lose thousands. I’m so disappointed with myself and wish I could turn back time and never have discovered online gambling.

I had to get rid of my iPhone because all the online gambling sites are available on them now. I have installed anti-gambling software on my computer which works really well.

I think it's disgusting that TV stations allow gambling companies like Sportsbet to come on and promote this highly addictive, life-destroying business. I saw a Sportsbet ad on TV that explains to you how to download their app so you can gamble anywhere and at anytime.

I think the Victorian Government should remove all gambling ads, it feels like they are getting rammed down our throats these days.

It doesn’t help people trying to stop gambling when it's constantly in your face.
