New South Wales bans gambling adverts on state public transport assets
The New South Wales government announced a ban on gambling advertising across Transport for NSW-owned or managed public transport assets, including trains, buses, ferries and billboards. It will work with advertising contract holders over the next 12 months to achieve compliance; the government also said ATM and EFTPOS machines in venues with gaming machines must be at least five metres from gaming-room entrances and not visible from gaming machines or room entrances.
Operators and advertising suppliers using state transport assets must account for the advertising prohibition and its compliance period.
