This study was commissioned by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation to inform its
response to the use of inducements by the wagering industry. The project requirements were to:
Review the literature on inducements to gamble.
Analyse the current legal status of inducements to gamble in Australian jurisdictions, and in
relevant overseas jurisdictions.
Document the ways the gambling industry uses inducements to encourage take up of
gambling, continued gambling or intensification of gambling.
Establish processes to allow the foundation to monitor inducements on an ongoing basis.
