The federal government of Australia is poised to introduce new laws to ban gambling advertising during live sporting events as early as next week — but the imminent move has prompted angry opposition from sporting bodies, which say the move will dramatically reduce funds for grassroots sport.
Under the changes, gambling advertisements would be banned during live play, meaning no in-game odds would be posted on TV screens from the start of a match until the end.
The idea has been applauded by anti-gambling groups, but some organizations have raised concerns that it could reduce the revenue for the leagues, and therefore reduce the amount of money available for investment in grassroots sports.
