Timeline of advocacy
A chronological record of advocacy milestones, meetings, public comments, and contributions.
ADVOCACY AND MEDIA
Lived experience belongs in the conversation about prevention and protection.
Stop The Spin is building a professional record of advocacy, education, and public-interest contributions related to gambling harm. The goal is simple: make it easier to see what people experience, what protections are missing, and what better safeguards can look like.
PUBLIC INTEREST ARCHIVE

This archive is designed to hold public-interest materials that help explain the need for stronger gambling-harm protections. As verified materials are available, they can be added here with clear context and source links.
Letters & documents
Public letters, correspondence, policy submissions, and statements with source context.
Media & public education
Articles, interviews, and appearances that contribute to public understanding of gambling harm.
Visual archive
Photographs and video links that document events, conversations, and community engagement.
A PUBLIC INTEREST FORUM
What this work is centered on
Advocacy is not only about raising concern. It is about helping lived experience inform the safeguards, information, and accountability people need before harm becomes a crisis.
Meaningful self-exclusion
Programs should be clear, accessible, and designed to reduce harm—not simply shift responsibility onto the person seeking help.
Clear public education
People deserve understandable information about risk, warning signs, and where to find qualified support.
Lived experience at the table
Families and people with lived experience should have a place in conversations about policy and prevention.
Media, interviews & public education
Media and public education can help make gambling harm more visible, more understandable, and less isolating. Verified interviews, articles, appearances, and video links will be collected here as they become available.
