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.

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?
I don't know, but I think this regulation will only apply in Australia and probably won't have an impact on this Bitcointalk forum.
In the article you shared I saw that the main focus on the news was to remove the ads that appear on their sports broadcasts, and they said to remove or focus on the problem of gambling ads that often appear in public places that are often seen by Australians such as advertisements and sponsors in every sporting event in their country.
Meanwhile, advertisements for casinos or gambling places on this forum cannot be seen or are not displayed directly to the general public in that country.
It probably won't affect other countries
now but there's a possibility that it might happen soon. Most advertisements that would be hit would surely those that are in the mainstream media and perhaps video content produced by content creators. Ad banners would still be a thing because that is really hard to combat.
Going back to video content creators, I see a lot of them still promoting the same gambling content despite restrictions on gambling itself. Take the Philippines for example, there are some regulations and orders against online casinos in general, but huge content creators continue to advertise these under their channels as if mocking the law. Well, the problem isn't the gambling casinos paying these folks to advertise, but the law not really taking its grip in its policies hence why these gambling content creators continue to advertise and get paid scot-free.
