Let's Get the AFL Out of Pokies

AFL is a beloved sport in Australia, it brings us all together and that's what we love about it. So we want to see footy be something every individual and family can enjoy!

But, the AFL has a dirty secret, 7 AFL clubs around Australia still use pokies to fund their footy clubs. The overall losses across Victoria in 2019-20 were $2 billion and $68 million of this was suffered at the 14 pokies venues owned or operated by Victorian-based AFL clubs.

Luckily, AFL clubs around Australia are wanting to get out of pokies and momentum is building fast ...

Luckily, AFL clubs around Australia are wanting to get out of pokies and momentum is building fast! In 2008, North Melbourne was the first Victorian club to take a principled stance. Since then, we’ve seen Collingwood completely exit, and Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, and Geelong commit to getting out for good.

Adelaide Crows, Fremantle Dockers, Gold Coast Suns, West Coast Eagles, GWS Giants & Sydney Swans don't rely on pokie venues to fund their clubs! 

Momentum's building fast! Let's do it!
