Gambling Ads Get New Online Opt-Out | Sydney News

from Sydney News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Gambling ads are finally getting federal attention—with a new online opt-out register set to roll out after January 1, aiming to shield vulnerable Australians from predatory promotions. A compromise between Labor and the Coalition turns the “do not call” concept into a digital filter, though critics—including grieving families and Senator David Pocock—argue it’s too little, too late. They’re pushing for bans on sports ads and inducements, while tech and gambling giants question how the system will work—and who pays for it. Amid industry pushback and lingering gaps, this deal is a step forward—but many say it doesn’t go far enough to protect those at risk.
