This week the EFL is joining with a number of other football leagues across Victoria in helping to raise awareness of the Victorian Responsible Gambling’s Foundation ‘Gambling’s not A Game‘ sporting club program.
The message of the week is ‘We’re about the Game not the Odds’. Clubs like as Waverley Blues, Bayswater and Wantirna South are already on board to educate their players.
With the prevalence in gambling advertising and easy access through on-line accounts, we think the program is a great fit for the league and our clubs to be part of to educate young men on the risks and pitfalls that are out there with gambling.
It’s a program that doesn’t say don’t bet, but just think about when and how much, an important message given the opportunities for gambling these days.
Over the next few days we’ll share with you some information and resources about the impact of problem gambling.
