It also targets radio ads during school pickup and bans sponsorships on player uniforms, with full rollout by January. While officials tout it as a balanced, exposure-reducing approach, critics call it half-hearted, arguing it fails to fully sever sports from gambling—especially for kids glued to games all night. Online ads will need age checks, social media must offer opt-outs, betting odds promotions are restricted (except racing), and illegal offshore sites will be blocked. The BetStop self-exclusion tool is also being strengthened. With public consultation ongoing, the plan’s effectiveness remains hotly debated.
