Thanks for powering us up with a platform that’s as thrilling as a huge win but as consistent as a dealer’s shuffle!In a nutshell:* Matt discusses the importance of addressing addiction holistically, considering root causes such as mental health and social isolation, rather than solely focusing on the behavior itself.&nbsp;* Our society (sorry to get on our high horse here!) needs more empathy and understanding so we can support those affected by gambling harm.&nbsp;* Lived experiences—such as Matt’s—can help shape effective responsible gambling initiatives.&nbsp;Choice quotes:* Matt Smith: “If you just treat gambling issues in isolation, then there’s a big chance you'll miss something else that’s going on, like alcoholism or another related problem.”* Matt Smith: “I wasn't showering. My mental health had deteriorated. I had no income and no hope. I reached out to someone at a treatment center for alcohol. I said, I need help. He said, Come.”&nbsp;* Jon Bruford: “Critics treat gambling as the problem in and of itself. But we need an interagency approach to gambling treatment. A main driver for gambling issues among women is domestic abuse. So, if all you treat is the gambling addiction, you're pissing in the wind because you're avoiding the root cause of the problem.”Thanks to Matt Smith for being on the show!&nbsp;Learn more about Betknowmore: https://www.betknowmoreuk.org/&nbsp;Connect with Matt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-smith-betknowmoreuk/&nbsp;UK National Gambling Helpline: 0808 8020 133.&nbsp;The Gambling Files podcast delves into the business side of the betting world.

Otherwise, we get too caught up in our own heads.”* Jon Bruford: “In the middle of things, it's easy to lose perspective. And shit doesn't stop raining down on you, does it? And sometimes, you need outside forces—like a therapist or a coach—to help you restore perspective.”* Jon Bruford: “I wanted to do some photo stories of a badger living his life as a human. But I couldn’t find a human-sized badger outfit.

I love people who go out and build stuff.”&nbsp;&nbsp;* Jon Bruford: “If grey market operators are doing any kind of banking services, then there's leverage. Pressure can be applied. You can say to them either behave or f**k off.”&nbsp;&nbsp;* Jon Bruford: “I like to not shit my pants, but it just takes a sneeze at the wrong time.”&nbsp;&nbsp;* Jon Bruford: “I don't like admitting that I don't know as

So that stuck out to me as proof of how important high rollers are [to digital gambling platforms].” * Katherine Sayre: “The gambling industry has always promised to do something about this [problem gambling]. It's [now] time to see how they are actually going to handle this.” * Jon Bruford: “If gambling businesses say that they take responsible gambling seriously, and then don't, there's going to be repercussions—especially when it's part of their licensing.” * Jon Bruford: “VIP high rollers and problem gamblers do share some commonalities in how they play. But they also share them with money launderers, and that doesn't mean that every problem gambler is a money launderer.” Thanks to Katherine Sayre for being on the show!  Read Katherine Sayre’s The Wall Street Journal article, “A Psychiatrist Tried to Quit Gambling.
