All gambling adds should be banned full stop.
Shit go further and make every betting company use some sort of “plain packaging” method in regards to website branding, company name, etc
Copying a post I did earlier in the week:
That 4 corners report was a bit of an eye opener.
I hadn't realised that eg, Football Australia had signed contracts with sports betting related companies, and that they actually get a cut of each bet. And "The NRL earnt 50 million dollars last year from this agreement. It takes a 1-point-2 per cent commission from every bet in Australia on its games, more for riskier bets and gambling on big games like the State of Origin and finals. On some bets … the NRL can take 17.5 per cent of a bookmaker's profit."
They won't want to do anything to reduce gambling. They are incentivised to increase gambling !!
