The largest pokies manufacturer in the world is one of the few gaming stocks to have enjoyed an increase in share price during a difficult year for the sector. The new law will force all gaming machine areas in all venues, except Crown casino, to shut between 4am and 10am. The $10 billion lotteries giant has urged the Senate to allow its customers to continue using credit cards to buy scratchies due to “low harm”. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland is preparing to announce curbs on TV, online and outdoor betting promotions.

“Although gambling does destroy the lives of those addicted, there are plenty who participate in gambling and would say ‘in my reality gambling is a bit of harmless fun’. “The tobacco industry received the big stick approach, which they fought tooth and nail,” says Dr Richardson. “Meanwhile, the alcohol industry observed, and decided they didn’t want to go the way of the cigarette industry.

The Victorian government has introduced new restrictions to poker machines including a pre-commitment limit of $100.

“Sports betting is the fastest-growing form of gambling in South Australian and this is a huge concern, particularly among our young people,” said Minister Lensink. Crows CEO Tim Silvers said the Club was pleased to help remind people of the enjoyment football and all sport provides, without the need for betting to enhance that.

South Australia’s Gambling Harm Ahead was developed in consultation with people with lived experience and urges gambling patrons and those around them, including family, to watch for signs that gambling may be problematic. “So many families are quietly suffering, and we welcome Suncorp Bank’s approach to helping customers in a non-judgemental way. Financial counsellors help both people who gamble and family members whose lives are impacted by someone close to them gambling. For example, the ‘pinkie’ ads from the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority that aired between 2007 and 2009 were part of a behaviour change campaign, encouraging younger drivers to not speed. The Sydney Morning Herald reports that this campaign was not only memorable, but also became one of NSW’s most successful. “Just stating that gambling is wrong and implementing a ban on ads won’t make the problem go away unfortunately,” says Dr Richardson.

In times of economic recession, gambling, particularly on lotteries, usually stays strong. Gambling during recession times is typically highest amongst those who are experiencing the greatest financial hardship as it represents a potential way out. However, ongoing gambling during financial crisis is often driven by erroneous beliefs given the low chances of winning and the financial losses almost always assured.

But, Wackett tells Eternity, it’s a sort of “gateway drug” for many first-time gamblers, with the gambling industry reaching out to thousands of potential newcomers. Sports betting is growing in popularity in South Australia, particularly amongst young men. Young people are being influenced by family, friends, and beliefs that betting is the norm and an easy way to make money. In addition, the over saturation of gambling advertising and ease of accessibility through new technology is creating a generation who think sport and gambling are one and the same. Research shows adults are concerned about the amount of sports betting advertising children are exposed to and most adults want to talk to their kids about the risks of betting on sports.

Endevour Group’s call for state governments to implement a nationally coordinated FRT scheme is scary in the absence of appropriate regulation and controls. Alliance CEO Carol Bennett said “I don’t think the state gambling regulators have had their eyes on the ball when it comes to monitoring these matters like how data or facial recognition technology is used.” Carol Bennett, chief executive of the Alliance for Gambling Reform, called for Mr Albanese to update the ministerial code of conduct to ban donations and other gifts from gambling companies.
