Tabcorp calls for fresh crackdown on TV gambling advertising | rharris334
Gambling giant Tabcorp has appealed to the federal government to impose tougher restrictions on betting advertising during prime-time viewing to protect young children, teenagers and vulnerable Australians.
Tabcorp chief executive David Attenborough said the federal government needed to consider a further crackdown on advertising – particularly around live sporting events – where exposure to children was heightened. Tabcorp’s TAB business has been losing ground to its online competitors such as Sportsbet and Ladbrokes over the past decade, and the COVID-19 pandemic hit the company hard with a shift towards online betting at the expense of its retail outlets.
It said it was working with governments and industry to explore further opportunities to achieve an “evidence-based nationally consistent framework” for advertising.
