Football Victoria's Love The Game Round (26-30 May) is right around the corner, we're aiming to reduce the exposure of young people to sports betting promotions and help them understand that sport and betting don't have to go together.
Young men (18–24 years) make up almost a third of sports bettors in Victoria, and participation by young women is rising. This group is the first generation to have grown up with sports betting ads.
We want sporting clubs and coaches across Victoria to unite and make a game plan that ensures young players understand the risks associated with sports betting sooner rather than later.
COACHES
This May, coaches are encouraged to make a game plan to talk to their team about the risks of sports betting. You don’t need to be an expert on gambling to start a conversation about it. You can learn about the issue and get ahead by encouraging your team to love the game, not the odds
PLUS, post a photo of you in action and be rewarded with 1 of 50 prizes!
