The Sydney Swans, an Australian rules football organization, have partnered with the New South Wales Office of Responsible Gambling to encourage responsible engagement with the sport. The “Love the Game, Not the Odds” initiative seeks to refocus attention on the thrill of the game itself, enabling supporters and communities to enjoy the sport without the pervasive presence of betting promotions.
This program will also educate personnel and athletes about the potential risks of wagering. Sydney Swans CEO, Tom Harley, stressed the club’s dedication to fostering a beneficial community influence. He indicated that this collaboration aligns with their objective of promoting mindful gambling and lessening the dependence on gaming income. As a component of this initiative, the Swans will not be endorsing any betting advertisements or sponsorships.
The Macarthur FC have also joined this public awareness campaign, aiming to inspire a healthy and positive way of life within their community. Macarthur FC Chairman, Gino Marra, emphasized the club’s commitment to the well-being of its members, supporters, and the broader community, stating that this partnership is a demonstration of that dedication.
Were taking significant steps to champion responsible gaming, solidifying four partnerships across three major sporting arenas, following our triumph with cricket. The director of the Responsible Gambling Office, Natalie Wright, stressed that this demonstrates these teams are rising to the occasion and approaching their duty to supporters and the public with sincerity.
