Problem Gambling Foundation forgets where its own funding comes from |

The Problem Gambling Foundation looks like the pot calling the kettle black when it casts aspersions at community groups who receive community grant funding from charitable gaming trusts the Chairman of the Charity Gaming Association, Rt Hon Paul East said today.
“Community groups which have received valuable funding from the Lion Foundation and other CGA members have every right to express their concern in public about the ill-conceived campaign by PGF to reduce the availability of fund raising in the community.
“It’s also a bit rich that the PGF should be getting on its high horse like this when the Foundation itself gets more than $3 million dollars a year from problem gambling levy funds – which are a direct tax on the very trusts they criticize.
“This is money which would go to deserving community groups and worthwhile projects if it wasn’t going to the Problem Gambling Foundation,” concluded Paul East.
