Today the new Gambling Advertising Code applies to all ads
Today, 4 November 2019, the new Gambling Advertising Code is effective for all gambling advertisements.
The new Code recognises that gambling advertisements must not undermine the need for the prevention and minimisation of gambling-related harm, with particular regard for the need to protect children, young people and other vulnerable persons. The Code applies to gambling advertisements for “pay to gamble” and “free to gamble” activities, products and outlets as well as betting on racing or sporting events.
The new Gambling Advertising Code was released following a review of the Code for Advertising Gaming and Gambling. The Code was developed by the ASA Codes Committee, which includes advertiser, agency, media and public representatives, and in consultation with industry and public sectors.
