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?
It's been a few months already since the news and so far nothing changed here on the forum. The ban seems to be focused on Australia and wasn't picked up by other countries. In my country I haven't heard about any political movement that wants to ban gambling advertising. When I look on all the ads we have over here it would be crazy to not allow gambling ads, but then all the other things. The most common ads I notice are either for alcohol or cigarettes. The huge hype about e-cigarettes and vapes can be seen on billboards on every big corner. It would be unfair to ban on specific industry and allow everything else. The question is also how such a law could be enforced if ads are only displayed online. Banning something in Australia should have no real impact for the majority of users here on the forum.
Yes, more on alcohol and cigarettes as well here in my country. Nevertheless, there are also ads about gambling as well, with even faces of well known athletes are part of the ads and promotion.
So I guess our country is not to hard core about gambling per se, although sometimes there are police raids about certain area wherein they are doing illegal gambling, but it's rare and we even have like 3 big casinos operated by big casino companies. Yes, there are news about Australia lately about their casino rules and regulations, but then again, it's going to be a uphill battle for the government to totally stop gambling, in my opinion.
