The company says it wants to “set the benchmark for sustainability in the gaming industry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Australia.- Tabcorp<\/strong> has published a “Responsible Marketing and Advertising Position Statement” endorsing stricter restrictions on betting ads “to safeguard the welfare of young and vulnerable people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company stated: “We support banning advertising during prime-time viewing on free-to-air television (between 6:30am to 8:30pm), and establishing a framework for regulating online gambling advertising.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It advocated for the establishment of a strong regulatory framework governing online gambling advertising and stressed: “Content that could appeal to minors, depict minors, or someone who appears to be under 18 years of age in advertising or marketing material is strictly prohibited.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June, the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs released a report<\/a> on its inquiry into online gambling<\/a> and its impacts on those experiencing gambling harm suggesting banning all advertisements that direct people to gambling websites and apps. The ban would be introduced over three years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also recommends developing and implementing a national strategy for online gambling harm reduction<\/strong>, supported by national regulation, an online gambling ombudsman<\/a>, a harm reduction levy on online wagering service providers a public education campaign<\/strong> and more independent research and improved data collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
