Gambling awareness with Oisín McConville

from iRadio's Groupchat

With the Cheltenham Festival happening this week, there’s a huge buzz around horse racing and betting - and it can feel like gambling ads are everywhere.  But gambling can come with serious risks if it isn’t approached carefully. Former Armagh footballer and recovery advocate Oisín McConville knows that better than most. After struggling with a gambling addiction earlier in his life, he’s become a leading voice in Ireland raising awareness about the dangers and helping people understand how to gamble responsibly.  He joins us now on iRadios Groupchat to talk about the reality of gambling, the pressure young people face during big events like Cheltenham, and what we should all know about staying safe.
