Experiences of Problem Gamblers, Their Loved Ones and Service Providers - Stage 2

Released in April 2004, this report is the second of two reports commissioned by the Gambling Research Panel on the experiences of problem gamblers, their loved ones and the service providers who assist problem gamblers.  

This study’s principal aims are to assist in improving the effectiveness of services for problem gamblers and their loved ones, and to better understand why people gamble excessively and become problem gamblers.

The aim of this report is to:

• explore patterns of gambling behaviour
• assess use and effectiveness of problem gambling services
• explore perceptions of problem gambling development and reduction
• explore perceptions of gambling issues and services and differences in these perceptions between problem gamblers and their loved ones
• document patterns of service support
• inform appropriate policy responses across a range of community services
• guide users and providers of problem gambling services.
