There will be, under this proposed legislation, a complete ban on gambling ads during live sport broadcasts from 6am to 8.30pm.
No gambling ads on the radio during school drop-off and pick-up times, which is between 8 to 9 a.m.
Again, very explicitly saying that this is targeting children.
No more celebrity endorsements of gambling platforms, including sport players.
I think that's a big one.
Yeah, we know that young people look up to sport players so much.
Another one is a ban on gambling ads on sport players and officials' uniforms.
So during a sport match, you won't be able to see, you know, let's say sports bet on their actual uniforms that they're playing in.
There's also a ban on gambling ads at sporting venues.
So they're at stadiums.
and no gambling ads on online platforms unless they are only accessible by people over 18 with an account who can opt out of seeing them.
When I read that, I thought, what platform is that?
How many platforms are only accessible by people over 18 with an account?
I don't know either.
Yeah, the only one I was thinking of was pornography, which we were, but I can't.
