In Australia, the rate of problem gambling among online gamblers is three times higher than those who play the pokies
As millions of Australians watched the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday — the country's biggest one-day gambling event — the companies that facilitated bets were put on notice. The "gamble responsibly" tagline currently displayed on their advertisements will be ditched and replaced with seven new options that Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth says have been chosen after extensive research."We have consulted widely and, importantly, we have used evidence to inform these taglines," she said."Imagine what you could be buying instead""Think.
Companies have been told that the words for TV and radio must be "read slowly, calmly and with an even pace".
Absolutely fed up with being Drowned with Betting App Advertising. It's worse that what Alcohol and Tobacco was.
All TV advertising should be banned
Ban their advertising altogether they have enough money
How about they advertise the actual odds of winning anything , or showxwhat happens to those who become addicted and lose everything including their homes.
Tattersalls too? Lottery draws for houses, gold bullion and cars? Charities? Be fair.
They don't follow the current ones. They barely say gamble responsibly.
Ban the ads completely and tax the companies heavily to pay for their impact.
Following odds are on offer for the stayer 'Nothing Will Change': Bet360 even money Betfair 2:1 Betr 3:1 Ladbrokes 3:2 Neds 6:5 Sportingbet 7:5 Sportsbet 9:11 Unibet - no contest Gamble responsibly!
Gambling warnings should include: “How much can you afford to lose?” AmandaRishworth
As someone who has been subjected to the loss of a relationship with my father due to gambling it's painful too see that the gambling ads are almost on repeat during ad breaks.
Ban gambling advertising and sponsorship…
How bout new legislation making it real gambling not computer set odds. Haha that’s not even gambling! Don’t forget Australia has their Aristocrat games set to Slaughter the sheep 🐑!!! Really lovely 💩👤 Thanks 🙏 Foxtel and Caching Pokie Nation. Niiice
About time, now they just have act on data privacy laws people have been asking about for over a decade.
This is utter bullshit. Ban gambling ads entirely. The Herald Sun this week was full of full page gambling ads from multiple companies. Some stupid slogan is not going to stop people being enticed to gamble.
SBS will be nervous . The champions of gambling advertising.
Ban drinking, ban smoking, ban betting, what's next ban sex? Can't have fun anymore.
Should always have been the case.
Ban it all together. If it can be done for tobacco advertising, it can certainly be done for gambling advertising. It’s just a constant barrage with the amount of companies there are now.
Oh no! New advertising rules! The horror! Gambling companies will keep targeting children, to hook in the next generation of problem gamblers. Like religion and war, you need to recruit them while they're young.
Not between 6am and midnight would be great.
Good!
About time
There's more gambling ads now than ever! We need to be seeing a lot less!
