Use and impact of government-mandated activity statements for online gambling in Australia

A notable proportion of online wagering customers are using activity statements and many feel these are useful in tracking their gambling spending and may help them to reduce their gambling. Importantly, there was minimal evidence of negative unintended consequences observed in self-report and objective behavioural data. Efforts to enhance engagement with activity statements would likely result in further benefits. These findings contribute to the evaluation of a national policy regarding consumer protection tools designed to reduce gambling harm.
