In this conversation, Kate Seselja opens up about her own experience of gambling harm and the years she spent caught in a system designed to keep her trapped. She shares how the gambling industry manipulates vulnerability and then labels the individual as the problem, instead of acknowledging the systemic forces that fuel addiction. Kate breaks down the difference between a “problem gambler” and a person experiencing gambling harm, and she shines a light on how the industry benefits from that misunderstanding.Disclaimer: Kate’s views and experiences are her own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Christina or The Broke Girl Society.
