Gambling in the AFL is hurting fans. In Victoria alone, $93 million dollars is taken from fans, by poker machines. It doesn't have to be this way. North Melbourne, Freemantle and the West Coast Eagles are all poker machine free, and are competitive clubs on the field.

We need the AFL to back reforms of the whole industry, because if clubs just sell their machines, another pub will buy them and the devastating losses continue. reforming the industry starts buy capping the maximum bet at $1 a hit, banning tricks deliberately designed into the machines to trick people - but it doesn't end there. Like reducing the road toll, there's no 'safe'number that's ok. Find out more about the solutions here.

Online sports betting doesn't take as much money from fans - but it's growing so fast we must act now before online gambling becomes the new poker machine problem. stopping the advert onslaught is we we start, but not where we stop. It's also going to need to be an ongoing effort.
