Meanwhile, a group of federal politicians has called on\u00a0Sportsbet<\/strong>\u00a0to immediately stop its ads on Snapchat to prevent children from seeing them. The operator provides filters for the social media app such as branded microphones that include its logo, turning user-generated content into advertising. Critics note that Snapchat estimates that 80 per cent of 13- to 24-year-olds in Australia use its platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnder-18 users cannot access the filters\u00a0but can see them in other users\u2019 stories. The Sportsbet webpage is not available for under 18s. Greens senator\u00a0Sarah Hanson-Young\u00a0<\/strong>and independent\u00a0MP Kate Chaney<\/strong>, have argued that the filters normalise gambling and could lead to gambling-harm-related issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gaming machine gross revenue was AU$316m (US$201.5m).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":20864,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Queensland's gaming machine Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) increased by 11.6% year-on-year to AU$316m in November, with hotels maintaining a larger market share over clubs.
