The Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to supporting the vulnerable in our community including those impacting by gambling.
I am proud to support the Government’s Get Back to The Real Game sports education campaign, to get people thinking about sports betting and to check if betting is interrupting their lives and those around them.
This campaign reminds sports fans how to enjoy the game without losing money and to remember why they had a passion for sport in the first place. It’s vital to recognise that while having a punt on your favourite sport is ok, it has to be done in moderation.
Research commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services found young men with higher socio-economic status, employed full-time, better educated, and with access to the internet were the best group to target.
This campaign has been designed to target young men where they place bets such as on digital devices, and includes online ads, still images and a cricket-themed ad based on a new 15 second cricket-themed television commercial.
Get Back to The Real Game will finish at the end of January to coincide with the Big Bash League cricket tournament.
Audiences clicking on the ads are directed to the Know Your Odds sports betting page which provides information and links to self-assessment and self-help tools.
