Report and upcoming paper from the @CQUni Experimental Gambling Research Laboratory (#EGRL) shows that restricted accessibility of pokies/EGMs in Western Australia is the main factor behind the lower rate of gambling problems in WA compared to the rest of Australia.

[Alex M T Russell @OzWineGuy]

Western Australia has more gamblers, but lower gambling problems, vs the rest of Australia. Our analyses show this is almost exclusively attributed to restricted availability of EGMs/pokies in WA. They're only in the casino. Paper coming soon

Did you know that, while fewer people are betting on races, race betting turnover is up by about $4 billion in today's dollars since 2010/11?

In 2010/11, about 22.4% of us bet on races. In 2019, that figure was 16.8%.

Gambling is restricted to those aged 18 or older.

Our recent study of NSW youth aged 12-17 found that 29.8% had gambled on monetary forms of gambling.

The strongest influence on youth gambling was parents, with exposure to gambling ads also a concern.

Fewer Australians are gambling compared to a decade ago.

In 2010-11, 64.3% of adult Australians gambled at least once a year. In 2019, thanks figure was 56.9%.

And fewer people are gambling on every gambling form.

Sports betting is evolving, becoming more like pokies.
