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.
Such a ban can only affect the casinos that are operating within that particular region where the ban is being imposed because they would probably be getting most of the traffic from that country or region and if they are not allowed to advertise, that will mean less gamblers and eventually less revenue. In such a case, a casino will probably need to change its jurisdiction and move to a different place if they don't want its business to just get ruined by this.
If the ban is imposed in Australia, and there are casinos that has Australia as their basic jurisdiction because they have their license from there and most of the players are from that region, they will have a hard time since the hub for their promotions will be closed and they will need to find another source.
