Research conducted by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) found that 53 per cent of Australians support outright bans on wagering advertising before 10:30 PM on radio, TV, live-stream or on-demand.
A survey of 1,765 participants discovered that 69 per cent of Australian adults believe that sports and race betting was “too common”, and half of those believed that wagering advertisements were more “noticeable” than others.
AIFS said gambling was a significant public policy issue in Australia, with people losing an estimated $25 billion each year on legal forms of gambling.
