I’ve walked past two TABs pretty much weekly, because one’s near our ice
cream shop and one’s next to the shopping centre. So, we go there a lot.

"This quote from a 12-year-old girl in our latest research shines new light on
young people’s exposure to gambling in their everyday lives. The 11- to
17-year-olds who took part in our study told us they regularly come into
contact with gambling not just during sports, but in a range of everyday
environments.

They saw promotions for gambling in local shopping centres, at post offices,
during sporting matches, movies and television shows. They were also aware of a
range of novel products and marketing strategies the gambling industry is using
to reach the next generation of customers."
