Didn’t realise this was possible: you can opt out of gambling ads on SBS On Demand. Log into your account, tweak your preferences, done in under a minute. Feels like a small workaround while the Federal government drags its feet on a proper ad ban. #auspol #EndGamblingAds

“One of the real head-scratchers of the last term of parliament was why it was unable to legislate a ban against gambling advertising.”
