I don't have a problem having Centrebet as a major sponsor at all. having JeldWen didn't make me go and buy doors and windows. I am pretty sure I am not going to become a gambling addict.
Will they issue all our junior supporters with $20 worth of credits?
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
Everyone has a personal choice in life with the direction they take, I don't gamble so i don't think having them as a " Major Partner" will make me now want to race out to have a bet, the same if our new next "major partner" was the "Daily Planet" Gentlemens club, doesn't mean that I would be racing out there either.

Bookies are the scourge of sport the world over and we base our future on their sponsorship. Very sad.
At the moment we are copping it but like any other club it will pass. Cant remember the Tigers coping much because they has Luxbet sponsoring them. Its legal and heaps of people bet and 95% dont have a problem doing so. Bring it on IMO

Well it's obviously been good for the Tigers.
Where did you get the 95% figure from, or did you make it up as usual?

Had a bad night? Well 5% have gambling problems so that suggests 95% dont. Maybe you and Stinger should get together. Both sound as sad as each other.
If we win a grand final this year with centrebet sponsoring us it will be a sign of ridiculously good gambling luck and i will wager my house on the roulette table.
They're not the good old feel good days of Phillip Morris and Tooheys but hey a vice is a vice and cash is cash.
If 5% of gamblers are problem gamblers I think that is quite a large problem for society itself. I'm not too keen on the club being sponsored by a gambling agency, even if I make the occasional bet myself. Lucky I'm not one of the decision makers then!
