ACMA finds Foxtel breached gambling advertising rules during AFL match
Australia’s ACMA found Foxtel Cable Television Pty Limited breached gambling advertising rules during an April 2024 AFL match streamed on Kayo. The authority said a halftime virtual betting banner showed only an “18+” symbol, which did not adequately warn adults about gambling risks. Foxtel added a responsible gambling tagline, agreed to further staff training and will report its compliance steps to the ACMA.
Broadcasters and wagering advertisers must ensure gambling messages meet the applicable code requirements.
