Advocates say most gamblers are losing more than ever, despite some quitting after lockdown © Provided by ABC NEWS Melbourne s extended COVID-19 lockdown helped Barry quit entirely. (ABC News: Matilda Marozzi) The week before Australia s first COVID-19 lockdown, Barry lost $3,000 on the pokies. He is among many telling their story under a pseudonym due to the stigma around gambling. I d been gambling for 20-years on and off with the pokies, he told The Conversation Hour.
