Turkey.- The Turkish Football Federation (TFF)<\/strong> has introduced new penalties for illegal sports betting ads<\/strong> in professional soccer. Any club in the Turkish Super League involved in illegal betting promotions will be subject to fines of up to TRY2m (US$58,400) and potential point deductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat the breaches could lead to fines of up to TRY5m (US$146,000) for a second offence and TRY10m (US$292,000) for a third. Subsequent violations could result in a TRY10m fine and a three-point deduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australian government reportedly plans to ban digital sideline gambling ads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the government of prime minister\u00a0Anthony Albanese<\/strong>\u00a0is reportedly planning to\u00a0ban in-stadium electronic sideline ads\u00a0<\/strong>during Australian Football League (AFL) and National Rugby League (NRL) games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ABC, communications minister Michelle Rowland<\/strong> is also considering a proposal that would ban gambling logos from sports uniforms and jerseys. Both actions would need the consent of state and territory governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposition and anti-gambling advocates have called for the government to introduce a total ban<\/a> on gambling ads as suggested by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs led by Labor MP Peta Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government has made no official statement. In September, It denied Sky News\u2019 report of an immediate ban on online gambling ads<\/a> and a partial ban on television ads from 2026. Prime minister Anthony Albanese said the government was still in discussions and has not made a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, Australian Greens party submitted a bill to the senate calling for a ban on all gambling ads in the country<\/strong>. The bill would ban gambling ads on TV, radio, print and online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
