To kick off Responsible Gambling Awareness Week 2015, a panel of eight prominent Victorians came together to discuss the extent to which gambling has become enmeshed with our favourite weekend pastime.

The panel, including AFL premiership medal holder and former gambler Brent Guerra, Western Bulldogs president Peter Gordon and Melbourne Victory chief Ian Robson, debated the issue of sport and gambling in the modern age.
