This study, funded by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation and undertaken by a team of researchers from Central Queensland University,  aimed to assess the social costs associated with gambling in financial terms in Victoria.

The report categorises the types and costs of gambling harm.  

While previous studies have excluded low-risk and moderate-risk gamblers with a focus only on people experiencing severe levels of harm (using the Problem Gambling Severity Index)  this study broadened the calculation to include all gambling severity levels: low-risk, moderate-risk and problem gambling. 

This research, conducted by the University of Sydney Gambling Research and Treatment Centre, was commissioned by the NSW Government.

The study explores:

• Types of harm and demographics likely to be attracted to each gambling product;
• The level of risk of harm in gambling products; and
• A range of potentially effective strategies to help prevent harm that can be associated with gambling and gambling products.

The New South Wales Government has released a response to the report which can be accessed here.
