Love the Game round is a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the risks of sports betting for young people. We encourage adults to talk to the kids in their life about how gambling really works and who really wins.
Parents, guardians and coaches in professional and community sport are leaders and role models. They play a vital role in developing and influencing players and teams.
Centennials were the first generation to grow up surrounded by gambling ads, so it’s not surprising they are now the largest group of sports bettors in Victoria.
Don’t wait until they turn 18 – coaches can make a game plan to talk to their players now about the risks of sports betting during their Love the Game round.
Your club, coach and community can get involved in a Love the Game round:
- ensure your club joins the program
- plan to host a round
- access coach resources
Help your club love the game, not the odds.
