What the findings reveal:

Over 75% of those affected by someone else's gambling experience financial harm such as overdue bills, lost savings, and reduced spending money.
-
Women are disproportionately affected by a family member's gambling and men often face bankruptcy or taking on extra work due to the financial strain.
-
Māori and Pacific people face distinct impacts, with familial obligations deepening financial and emotional toll.
