New gambling ad rules for sports broadcasts are sparking outrage as they allow unlimited ads during late-night game breaks—especially big events like State of Origin—exposing kids to a flood of promotions right before bed. Critics call it an “absurdity,” blaming powerful lobbying from sports leagues, media giants, and the gambling industry for watering down reforms that were promised three years ago. While the new laws cap ads at three per hour between 5 AM and 8:30 PM, halftime breaks in NRL, AFL, and women’s games often fall outside this window, opening the door for unchecked advertising. A proposed “AdStop” opt-out system for online gambling ads is also delayed, with tech companies unsure how it will function before January’s rollout. Though some see it as progress, many argue it’s still far too lenient—and the battle between commercial interests and public health continues.
