Australia\u2019s federal government<\/strong> is reportedly returning to previously shelved plans for gambling advertising reform. The proposals include restrictions on advertising during primetime television as well as a total ban during sporting events and children\u2019s programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to industry outlet The Strait,<\/strong> negotiations between Communications Minister Anika Wells<\/strong> and key industry stakeholders have intensified in recent weeks. The government intends to revisit the issue that had been postponed until after the May elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertising reform was a central item among the 31 recommendations from a 2023 parliamentary inquiry into online gambling and its impact on people experiencing gambling harm. The resulting report, \u201cYou win some \u2013 you lose more,\u201d <\/strong>proposed a complete ban on all forms of online gambling advertising over a three-year period, as well as the establishment of a national regulator to oversee licensing and regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Strait notes that although the government still plans to introduce strict restrictions on television advertising, a total ban is unlikely. Instead, broadcasters will likely be limited to no more than two gambling-related ads per hour between 6am and 10pm, with a full ban in place during sporting events and children\u2019s programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calls for a blanket ban have been tempered by concerns that such a move would simply create space for illegal operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also states that the government recognizes potential obstacles: 21 of the 31 recommendations require consultation and concessions from state and territory governments. Instead, according to The Strait, Wells and her team are taking a more pragmatic approach – bringing stakeholders together to develop a joint plan before proceeding further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reform is expected to be phased in gradually starting in early 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
