  • I agree to an extent.

    My opinion is we need a bit of a brute force approach to help correct how far off course compared to the rest of the world we are.

    Ban advertising.

    Tax the venues with pokies - rla revenue profit model that makes having them in clubs / pubs net negative to anyone running a venue.

    Tax online gambling, ban their advertising.

    Block non conforming online gambling sites.

    Etc.

    We are over 5 times the per capita spend of second place on gambling spend globally. Until we aren’t first things need to drastically change.

    For those pixel (may be all android ?) users wanting a super easy way…

    Make the meme, but before clicking generate, swipe to screenshot. You will get the android “do you want just the image” box which keys you copy/save without the watermark








  • I sound like a parrot repeating this.

    But

    The graph of gambling spend per capita is a nice straight line. From the minnows, all the way to 2nd place, it’s straight and direct. Small increments for each country.

    USA is second, average spend of $400 per capita. That’s pokies, horses, gambling, Vegas etc.

    1st place is Aus. $2400 per capita. 5 times second place.

    Aus needs to drastically change our gambling rules and regs. Ban advertising on all media forms including Internet. Block international gambling sites that don’t comply. Don’t associate odds with sports in any way. Pokies in pubs can fuck right off too. Tax that to the point where they serve no purpose to have on site.
