Lost 1000 Gambling
Meet the Gambler Who Lost a $100,000 Slot Machine Jackpot Because His Hot Ladyfriend Pushed The Button. A 66-year old dude named Jan Flato was gambling on slot machines when he asked his friend. Still, I've seen people saying they're like $3000 in the red due to gambling losses and that's gotta be tedious because that's like 40 rounds of FFF but that's what the requirement is.
Supporting 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.
There are no American gambling websites. They are illegal in the US. YOU are in the wrong for breaking the law. And you lost 20 pounds, not $1000.

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.
