The federal government recently announced plans to use age verification technology to impose age restrictions on social media. Some critics of the government’s proposed restrictions on gambling advertisement have suggested that similar technology could be used to prevent children from accessing wagering platforms. Meanwhile, the vAlliance for Gambling Reform’s chief advocate Tim Costello has expressed concern that the government will not take sufficient action to crack down on gambling ads.

The Alliance for Gambling Reform is one of the organisations that have been invited to the federal government’s briefing on its proposed gambling advertising reforms. However, attendance at the briefing on Friday is conditional on signing a 12-page non-disclosure agreement. The Alliance’s chief advocate Tim Costello says his organisation will not sign the agreement, and he has questioned why it is necessary given that details of the reforms have been leaked to the media. The government has previously attracted scrutiny over its use of non-disclosure agreements in consultations over its legislative reforms.
