The Daily Aus · Aussie sport's gambling problem · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

appeared before the Senate inquiry this week, and we'll talk a little bit more later about what he had to say there. voice-verified

But it turned out to be perfect timing because I wanted to talk to him about this report and his experience because after he left the NRL, he became quite a problem gambler. voice-verified

And he was very closely embedded with some of the biggest gambling companies in Australia. voice-verified

And he kind of spoke to me about how normalized alcohol and gambling has become in the professional sport culture and in the sport culture at large. voice-verified

Here's a little bit of what he said during our interview. voice-verified

So, I mean, it kind of actually goes back a few years to 2023. voice-verified

That was when a parliamentary inquiry into online gambling was chaired by Labor MP Peter Murphy. voice-verified

It ended up producing this report. voice-verified

It's called You Win Some, You Lose More. voice-verified

And it made 31 recommendations about how to reform gambling in Australia. voice-verified

It included a total ban on gambling advertising that would be phased out over three years and across TV, radio, online. voice-verified

And it also recommended a national gambling regulator, a ban on inducements and a national public education campaign. voice-verified

Quickly before we move on, do you know what an inducement is? voice-verified

Because it's important. voice-verified

Okay, good. voice-verified

So basically, it's anything that could convince you to keep betting. voice-verified

So an example of a lawful inducement, so something that voice-verified

companies can do under law is say if you bet $50, we'll give you another $50 that you can then keep betting. voice-verified

Now, they don't actually give you $50 cash. voice-verified

They give you $50 that you can use on a further bet. voice-verified
