Meet Chuck and Betty. 👋

You might spot them around Aotearoa soon. They’re not your average sports hosts — they’re here to call out the game behind the game.

Because sports betting isn’t just part of the game anymore. It’s becoming the game, and young men are being targeted more than ever.

Bonus bets. Sign-up offers. Mateship pressure.

These tactics are designed to keep you betting, and spending, more than you planned.

If you’ve felt that “just one more” pull, or seen your mates caught in it, you’re not alone.
