Australians Spend Over $17bn on Gambling

Filed in archive Gambling General by jo on October 31, 2005

Never say an Aussie doesn't like a flutter - they spend on average AUS$17 per person every week on gambling - spending $17.4 billion in the past year alone and more than they spend per person on gas.

The spend represents a 5.5% year-on-year increase, compared to just a 3.3% increase in household consumption.

The breakdown shows that whilst they love their poker machines, lotto and casino, they only spend $2 per week on the horses - but thats still not bad for a country that will gamble on anything
