“We want to congratulate the Bulldogs and Rabbitohs for joining Reclaim the Game and recognising the harm caused by the gambling industry in communities across NSW.”

“This is a huge win in the campaign to reduce gambling harm and the Office for Responsible Gambling has played a key role in securing it.”

“The Bulldogs and Rabbitohs join other high profile teams from four other codes in rejecting sportsbetting sponsorship. More and more we’re seeing clubs catching up to public sentiment and recognising the devastating effects that gambling has on the communities they represent.”

“But now we need them to take the next logical step and act on the harm caused by poker machines in their clubs.”

“Every year in NSW millions of dollars are lost to poker machines in clubs associated with the Bulldogs and Rabbitohs. It’s high time they follow the lead of Victorian AFL clubs who have divested from these machines.”
