Gaming venues around the state have reopened, and Queensland Mental Health Commissioner Ivan Frkovic and Commissioner for Liquor and Gaming Victoria Thomson are encouraging Queenslanders to seek help if they are concerned that their gambling is becoming a problem.
"Problem gambling can be associated with factors such as alcohol and drug use, and trauma, depression, anxiety and mental ill-health," Mr Frkovic said.

"Seeking help for yourself or a loved one is the first step in addressing problem gambling behaviour."
