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.
