Gambling is big business – with gambling losses in Australia being estimated at around $25 billion in 2018. The increased uptake and reach of online gambling are only exacerbating the risk of developing a harmful habit. The AMA welcomes the opportunity to closely consider this issue through the Parliamentary Inquiry into online gambling and its impacts on those experiencing gambling harm. Our submission to this inquiry was lodged on 11 November 2022.
