This is in no way good news, much harder to verify someone’s age if they’re online, let alone other factors. Especially if they can pay with credit cards.

    It’s impossible to keep up with the constant barrage of evil machinations by our ruling class and their lackeys.

        Clear your app history from your app stores (it’s generally free simulation gambling apps that share your data).

        If you use free simulation gambling apps, only login as a guest as social media logins get instant access.

        Turn off history, suggested and recommend ads for everything: Google, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, etc. (you’ll need to research that yourself as they’re all too involved for one post but there’s good videos out there).

        Report gambling ads as inappropriate for you.

        They get the message … eventually.

    “Australians will bet on two flies crawling up a wall”. The Aussie she’ll be right, have a go ya mug mentality has been weaponized against us. Decades of an open door policy for lobbyists in parliament house has left any meaningful gambling reform dead on floor. And yet again it is left up to the individual to defend themselves from the ever growing gambling industry, with the added danger of exposing themselves to the possibility of a data breach.

    I believe, as an American, that America does everything the best. That we’re exceptional. Biggest cars, most access to firearms, a for profit healthcare system. Nothing can compete anywhere… except Australian gambling.

    I can see game when it’s played. Kudos Australia
