> A Victorian coroner found online betting was the “direct and paramount” cause of Kyle Hudson’s 2021 suicide. Hudson wagered nearly $896,000 across platforms over four years and lost more than $47,000 net. The coroner recommended requiring betting companies to prominently show customers’ net financial position over time.
