If you or someone you know is having gambling issues, Gambler's Help is available
Providing support services to Victorians affected by gambling
The Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation is here to support people affected by gambling harm, including family and friends. We take a public health approach to our work, which means we focus on prevention, early intervention and support for those who are particularly vulnerable to gambling harm as well as those living in regional and rural communities.
We fund and work closely with organisations across Victoria to provide free and confidential Gambler’s Help services to people experiencing harm from their own or someone else’s gambling.
News and media releases
'Harm from gambling' TV commercial
Our early intervention campaign – 'harm from gambling starts earlier than you think' – aims to help people experiencing moderate levels of harm to identify the early signs and to reflect on and modify risky gambling behaviour.
'Normalisation of gambling' TV commercial
Our prevention campaign – 'the talk' – encourages parents to have a conversation with their children about gambling risk. This campaign highlights out how normalisation of gambling can make it difficult for young people to recognise the risks involved.

Love the Game, not the odds
Gambling advertising is changing the way we see sport. The amount of advertising we are being exposed to on a daily basis would make it seem like gambling is now just a normal part of sport. Our Love the Game Program aims to counter the normalisation of gambling in sport.
