A coroner is examining whether Sportsbet responded appropriately to signs of concern before a man’s death. According to reporting across outlets, Ashley Baker told the court that her boyfriend became increasingly anxious and distressed in the days leading up to his death. She said he had lost his entire life savings to gambling and had tried to limit his gambling activity seven times. The coroner’s inquiry focuses on why Sportsbet did not take those repeated attempts as an indication that harm risk may have been increasing. The reports describe the matter as a question of whether the gambling operator should have intervened or changed protections when a customer sought to reduce or restrict their gambling. The outlets all reference the same core facts: repeated efforts by the man to limit gambling, his deteriorating mental state as described by Baker, and the coroner’s concern about the company’s response. The coverage does not indicate a final finding in the reporting provided.
