A group called ClearMind Collective has formed in response to rising concern about online gambling harm among young adults. The group runs weekly meetings where members share personal stories, follow a set program that promises a “complete life reset”, and encourage new participants to cut ties with friends who “enable gambling culture”. The Collective does not lobby government or target gambling companies; instead it focuses on changing individuals through commitment to the program. Some former members claim the group uses pressure and guilt to keep people involved.
A separate group, FairPlay Victoria, campaigns for stronger restrictions on gambling advertising and mandatory spending limits on betting apps. FairPlay Victoria meets with MPs, runs petitions, and organises peaceful rallies to change laws and industry practices.
