Can Australians distinguish between gambling and sports?

A current parliamentary investigation into online gambling and gambling harm is looking at current consumer protections and gaming laws and has already enacted tougher advertising warnings.
Particularly closely scrutinized are sports betting platforms, and some organizations have called for a ban on advertising at sporting events and during broadcasts of those activities. Concerns concerning how gambling advertisements influence young people who are exposed to them during athletic events and those with gambling addiction are also growing.

I'm so surprised that the Australian government ban sport betting and other forms of gambling. Sport betting has become so popular even in some parts of Africa so many countries are adopting it and it is a way to make money for supporting your favourite football club.

They should not just hide under any canopy, if Australian government want to ban gambling, they should just come out and say it publicly. Because we've seen so many betting sites and casino sponsoring sporting activities, where would be there best place to advertise gambling if not on any sporting event.

Its never a good idea to be gambler, gamble it says to be lucky game and at the same time its very risky. One may loss all his hand earn money through gambling so i will gladly say its not at all a good idea to partake in gamble.
