RWA urges Senate inquiry into gambling ad reforms, citing lack of industry input and unclear definitions.Summary
Responsible Wagering Australia (RWA), the industry body representing betting operators, has called for a Senate inquiry into the federal government's upcoming gambling advertising reforms, which take effect on January 1. RWA says the consultation process failed to incorporate key industry recommendations, particularly around clear definitions of terms such as ‘celebrity’ and ‘influencer’ and practical implementation issues. The organization welcomes the referral to a Senate inquiry as an opportunity to scrutinise what it calls “draconian and overreaching” elements of the Bill and to ensure the final legislation is proportionate, effective and delivers the intended outcomes for punters and the industry.
