Episode Description
Gary Moloney dropped out of school before his exams he returned to school at 23. He has almost a decade of experience in the gambling industry most recently as a senior executive at BET99 — he is going to be traveling across Ireland and the US giving talks on how the gambling industry operates and gambling addiction. He has seen people lose so much money, but won't admit that they have an addiction until they lose every penny. In Ireland he says they have much more help for people suffering from gambling addiction because it has been more assessable through apps for much longer. He says here in Canada it's just beginning with the apps, and we need to adapt to this. We need to start talking about gambling addiction more so we can start helping those who are suffering from it. It's not just the gambler that is affected its their families to, if they lose everything so does there family. That's why this addiction is hidden until they do lose everything and many lives become ruined. It's so easy to fall into the trap and Gary wants to bring more awareness to this addiction. He wants to help people notice the signs of a problem gambler so that they can try to get them help before there family ends up in ruins. I commend him on speaking out on this subject because it is the silent addiction, that can really end badly for so many people.
