VGCCC Recruits Sports Celebrities to Show Gambling Damage and Encourage Safer Practices

Sam Docherty and Cameron Munster guide a new campaign about creating boundaries. Sam Docherty and Cameron Munster join to tell people about betting limits and safer gambling habits. VGCCC targets young male gamblers through this program, according to officials. Young men wager and bet on sports more than other groups statistically. Athletes tell their gambling stories and explain that self-control plus deposit limits matter.

Victoria residents gamble AUD 7bn (USD 4.6bn) every year in total amounts. Wagering and sports betting products take AU$2.5bn from this spending annually. Cameron Munster plays rugby league professionally in Australia currently. He wants people to escape gambling problems like he did before. “I became a better person after growing from my experiences completely. Setting limits lets me gamble sometimes without forgetting important things,” Cameron Munster explained.

AFL Star Sam Docherty Champions Safe Gambling Practices

Sam Docherty plays Aussie Rules football at the highest level. Weekly deposit limits keep his gambling under control, he discovered personally. “Gambling harm makes people feel trapped and isolated through shame and guilt. Getting help remains acceptable always,” Sam Docherty stated openly. Suzy Neilan serves as VGCCC Chief Executive in her current role. She compares limits to seatbelts that protect people from accidents effectively. The sporting season brings more gambling activity, requiring protection measures.

“Set before you bet” becomes this year’s campaign title officially announced. The program teaches people to gamble a maximum of 2% of their take-home pay only. Once per week, gambling and two product limits complete the recommendations given. The Community Attitudes Survey, which was recently conducted, questioned over 3,000 Victorians about gambling. Results show that people believe that gambling creates addiction and destroys families strongly. “Gambling stays a personal choice, but people require practical safety tools,” Suzy Neilan confirmed.
