New South Wales has sounded the alarm over how exposed children between 12-17 are to gambling advertisement.
This, the reports commissioned, reviewed, and published by the state indicates that those age groups are particularly vulnerable to problem gambling and developing unhealthy habits that could translate into life-altering consequences.
The “inundation” of gambling ads, as the problem has been called, has seen the proliferation of gambling advertisements across social and digital media environments. The NSW Youth Gambling Study 2022 confirmed that all of the participants could recall seeing a gambling advertisement or having seen such inducement materials since childhood.
