Abstract
In the ACT, as in the Australian population, the majority of people regularly
participate in gambling activities. The purchase of lottery and instant scratch
tickets, and use of club gaming machines comprise the highest participation in
gambling in the ACT.
• While many people gamble without experiencing any adverse consequences, for
some people, gambling creates difficulty in their lives. Problem gambling can be
defined by the negative effects that gambling activities have on the gambler,
their personal relationships, working life and the wider community.
