POW PokieT-shirts
The Wellington branch of PGF and some design students have come up with a range of designer t-shirts. They are a fun way of getting people to talk about problem gambling and to generate some fundraising for us. View the catalogue here.

Community Resource Pack
This resource pack has been produced by GamblingWatch (the NZ Coalition for Gambling Reform, Inc.) to provide communities and concerned citizens with advice on issues arising under the new Gambling Act (formerly the Responsible Gambling Bill).
The pack has been developed from a similar resource produced for the Problem Gambling Foundation of NZ, and its production has been assisted by a generous grant from the JR Mackenzie Trust, to both of whom we express our thanks.
GamblingWatch echoes a widespread public concern – that there is a clear link between the growth of gambling opportunities over the past 10 years and a variety of discernable social and economic impacts, including the phenomenal rise in problem gambling. Click here for the resource pack.
