What are your thoughts on this? Seems to me a long overdue discussion for the government to have. The ads are out of control.

I’ve thought about the practicality of banning it online but think it would only really work for Australian based companies.
The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 already bans online gambling AFAIK, but does not regulate offshore companies, or “licenced services”. I don’t see why it couldn’t be updated to remove such exceptions - and you can’t tell me that BlueBet and SportsBet and all the rest of those don’t have ABNs. The problem companies aren’t the offshore ones.
My thought was that they can ban them from operating in Australia but it’s a bit harder to ban Australians from using them while they’re operating elsewhere.
