s/amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/28/ads-for-online-gambling-should-be-banned-in-australia-within-three-years-inquiry-recommends]Ads for online gambling should be banned across all media and at all times within three years to combat the manipulation of an “impressionable and vulnerable audience”, a parliamentary inquiry has recommended.

After months of debate about betting ads, including the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, labelling them “annoying” and the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, calling for a ban on ads during sports matches, the inquiry has provided a blueprint to shut them down entirely.

If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos? As we all know most established and new casinos come to bitcointalk to launch their ANN thread and carry out signature promotion campaigns which can be regarded as ads in a sense. If ads should be banned will their promotion in Bitcointalk also end?
@Saheedu, i want you to understand that the bitcointalk is made up people from different parts of the world and from your statement i think the ban  is only applicable to those that are residents of Australia, and the prime minister of Australia doesn't have any legal right to ban the ANN thread from the bitcointalk, maybe the forum might only adjust their policy and restrict residents of that particular country from viewing the ANN thread if need be, which I don't think is likely to happen.
 The thing is different country reviews their constituents and set ban on things they see as threat or not right for their society on the other hands the government benefits from those gamblings through different means so I feel they'll later come to an agreement to make amends of those odd advertisements that promotes addictive gambling and also using illegal means to promote gambling but one thing I'm sure of is that a government can try to implement laws that would restrict illegal advertisements but it would be quite difficult to stop people from gambling because it's addictive.
