Asian NZers engaging in online gambling/gaming

From Morning Report, 8:28 am on 1 September 2022

A new survey of about 400 Asian New Zealanders shows more than 80 percent have engaged in online gaming or online gambling over the past year.

The study was done by Trace Research and commissioned by Asian Family Services.

Asian Family Services director Kelly Feng says many in the community suffering from gambling harm are struggling to access support.

The first week of September is gambling awareness week, and Feng has presented the study this week at the addiction sector's "Cutting Edge" conference in Christchurch.

She spoke to Corin Dann.
