Doug's Journey

You can watch the previous Doug the Mug video here.

Doug was using too many betting apps, too often, and it was having negative effects on his life and finances.

He got his gambling under control and bought the ute he'd always wanted. Now, he's helping his mates to gamble responsibly.

Check out Doug’s journey so far below.
