According to the office of responsible gambling NSW, one in two Australians gamble. For a small percentage of the population, problem gambling can present big problems. Although problem gambling is categorised in the lowest percentile (8%) of the NSW population, many of our pubs and clubs are profiteering from this addiction. Our beloved returned and services leagues across the state of NSW are some of the biggest venues to profit from pokie machines and it’s happening right here in Bathurst as well.
