T.A.B gambling ads during primetime TV
Has anyone else noticed how these slick ad's have crept into Prime time viewing on TV? The latest one is offering a $100 or $50 cash back amount when you join TAB online to do your gambling.
I had my grandkids in hols and on 2 x consecutive nights we watched the Chase (they dont have TV at home and love quizzes) They are 3, 7.9 and 13yrs old. The ad's fascinate them I notice because they don't watch tele and one of them asked me what the TAB ad meant -as it has a catchy jingle tune and offers CASH back!! Alcohol and cigarette ads are NOT allowed during this timeframe (total hypocrisy) and this article from last years Post explains how lame the application of the regulations really is. NZ doesn't even own the advertising anymore ! Its a British firm .www.thepost.co.nz...
The Gambling association told me they have put in submissions about it and naught has happened . An addiction gambling is as destructive as any other addiction and yet we are allowed to dangle this 'product' repeatedly in front of under 18 yr olds . I have noted its shown regulalary now within this same timeframe -between 5 and 7pm
