Australia has actually unveiled plans to ban tv and radio broadcasts of sports betting chances during live sports betting matches in a bid to curb problem gaming.

Gambling ads will no longer appear throughout live events and around sporting places, the federal government stated.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Australians had actually ended up being "increasingly frustrated" with the promos.

The broadcasting market is expected to send a modified code to Australia's media watchdog showing the modifications.

"From the minute that the gamers step onto the field, to the minute that they leave the field, there will be no live odds," Ms Gillard informed an interview.

"This is excellent news for households, since households I think have actually ended up being increasingly disappointed about the penetration of live chances into sporting coverage."

Under the brand-new guidelines, advertisements would only be before or after a game, or throughout an arranged break in play, such as quarter-time and half-time.

'Focus of video game'

Promotion of sports betting chances by bookmakers who appear to be part of broadcast groups will also be banned.

The National Rugby League, which in the past has allowed bookmakers to offer odds throughout broadcasts, said it agreed with the federal government's strategy.

"The overwhelming belief is that we do not wish to see sports betting as the primary focus of our game," NRL president Dave Smith stated.

"Fans, and particularly young fans, ought to not undergo extreme promotion of sports betting throughout matches.

"We want young kids to be enjoying the skills of their preferred group, not estimating the odds."

The broadcasting industry is anticipated to submit a modified code to the Australian Communications and Media Authority, said the federal government.

It estimates that up to 500,000 Australians are at threat of becoming, or are, problem gamblers.
