"Whatever the code, whatever the season, Australian sports fans are bombarded
with gambling ads.

Drawing on Australians’ passion, loyalty and pride for sport, the devastating
health and social consequences of gambling – including financial stress,
homelessness, family violence, and mental health issues – are largely
sidelined.

Instead, ads continue to normalise gambling, encouraging punters to embrace
mateship and “have a crack” on gambling apps."
