They should atleast keep the bet365 ad, purely because it has King Ragnar Lothbrok in it!!!

I was unfortunate enough to have this pop up before a Youtube video i was watching earlier.
Gambling advertising is getting out of control and as someone who has had issues with it.
It's hard to avoid it when it's under the nose all the time.
The ads are an embarrassment and so cringe worthy.
I do enjoy that we don't have the constant bombardment of medicinal ads like in the US.
America's f***ed. Unrestrained capitalism gone mad, where the country has grown enormously in wealth but only the top 10% have anything to show for it, with the vast majority getting jack. And this country is slowly going down that path - look at how Foxtel is gradually taking away more and more footy from FTA.They're shocking aren't they?
I couldn't believe it the first time I watched a sports stream from an American channel. Every second ad was 'ask your doctor to put you on this drug, ask your doctor to put you on that drug'. Big Pharma gone mad.
The funny thing is that half the ad is a warning about its side effects thus making people less inclined to buy itThey're shocking aren't they?

I like the idea, because now we can get some decent porn adds happening, call me, call me now!!
Remember the days when gambling was limited to horse racing and the only place you could bet was at a TAB and there was only one TAB within a 50km radius... Those were the good old days.
I noticed the wave of betting ads at least 6 years ago. Since then it has only been getting worse with a plethora of new companies that have either started up or come in from overseas. Obviously, the betting industry is huge with a lot of money to be made.
If I were running this country I'd do 2 things regarding gambling;
1. Make all gambling agencies/companies/clubs/casinos pay a levy (based on % of profit) where the money raised would go into helping the people and families affected by gambling,
2. Introduce a Gambling Tax which all gambling businesses would pay in addition to the tax they already pay. A bit like the mining tax the Labour Government tried to introduce years ago.
My preference would be that a new law is passed where betting is limited to horse racing only, like the good old days but we know that's not going to happen.
