Episode Details

Gambling ad crackdown? Not quite. The government’s new rules—three TV ads per hour, no ads during live sports, radio bans near schools, online age checks, and no celebrity endorsements—face fierce criticism as too weak and full of loopholes. Critics call it a “capitulation” to the gambling industry, especially failing kids and families. Liberals and Greens unite to slam the reforms as half-hearted, weaker than past proposals. Set for January 2027, the plan also includes a gambling levy to fund Betstop, the self-exclusion register—still flawed, with some users able to gamble or see ads. Industry and recovery groups say the consultation was rushed, while the government fears delays will just give opponents more time to block real change.
