Gambler's Help

Gambler's Help

Gambler's Help is a network of agencies funded by the State Government in Victoria, Australia to provide a range of community services for gambling related issues. Gambler's Help is administered by the Department of Justice, but receives funding from the Community Support Fund which receives a portion of the profits from the operation of gaming machines (better known as poker machines) in Victoria.

History

Gambler's Help was established under the name Breakeven in 1994 with the first regional services commencing operation in 1995. The name was changed to Gambler's Help in November 2000. [ [http://www.problemgambling.vic.gov.au/youth/documents/What_is_Gamblers_Help.pdf red_double_sided ] ]
