Leeton Bowls Responsible Gambling

RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

As a community organisation we are committed to providing a safe and responsible environment for all members and guests.

Whilst gambling is an enjoyable past time for most Australians, we recognise the potential dangers that gambling presents for some people. Unfortunately for some people gambling extends beyond the point of an enjoyable form of entertainment and into a gambling problem. People with gambling problems can experience financial issues as well as negative consequences in other areas of their life including, their relationships with family and friends, health, employment, and even legal issues.

WHAT WE ARE DOING TO PREVENT AND HELP PROBLEM GAMBLING?

ClubSafe Counselling

Rather than simply satisfy legislative requirements and refer patrons to the Gambling Help referral service, patrons of Leeton & District Bowling Club have access to ClubSafe comprehensive counselling service.

ClubSafe is not a referral service; they employ experienced counsellors and provide free assistance to patrons of Leeton & District Bowling Club through face-to-face counselling as well as over the phone.

Counselling is the most effective form of help for problem gambling. It allows people to address any underlying issues and mistaken beliefs to minimise the likelihood of the problem re-emerging.
