Likely To Move Away From Organised Groups, According To A
New Gambling Study Funded By The Ministry Of

This may manifest as withdrawal from sports,
cultural or religious groups, leading to social isolation
and reduced community contribution.

harms may be felt more severely by community-focused
populations like Māori and Pacific peoples, who are already

gambling behaviours”.

The Facts:
