Enough Pokies

Enough Pokies

Pubs and clubs should be places where we can socialise safely, maybe hear a band or see a show, hire a room for a community meeting.

They should not be mini-casinos.

76% of the world's non-casino poker machines are in Australia. About half are in NSW. None are in WA.

This extraordinary distribution of electronic gaming machines into ordinary suburban life creates a great deal of harm. 

Our campaigns are aiming to prevent or reduce gambling harm by addressing the regulation of the industry, design features of machines, awareness within the community, and undoing the vested interests of the gambling industry.

  • MPs staff tend to lump form letters together so if you can, please change the text especially the beginning of the email.
  • Writing your own subject line and message is more impactful than a form letter.
  • Keep your message short and punchy – a couple of simple sentences explaining why you care is perfect.
  • Be polite – it’s always best to get the message across in a friendly way.
