He placed his first bet at 15, drawn in by a culture where betting felt normal within the sport he loved. By his early thirties, gambling had cost him $100,000 and nearly his relationship with his family.Today, Mark speaks openly about how gambling reshaped his personality, the moment everything collapsed, and the steps he took to rebuild his life. His advocacy focuses on prevention, early intervention and helping families understand how quickly online gambling can escalate for young people.Rev Tim CostelloTim is one of Australia's most respected community leaders and a sought after voice on justice issues, leadership and ethics.For 13 years until October 2016, Tim was Chief Executive of World Vision Australia (WVA).
