Concerns have been raised about the pervasive nature of gambling ads and their potential impact on vulnerable populations, including children and individuals struggling with gambling addiction. By eliminating these advertisements from public transport, the government aims to decrease the public&#8217;s exposure to gambling promotion and mitigate associated harms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move2-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move2-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move2-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move2-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This move aligns with previous measures implemented by the NSW government to regulate gambling advertising.

Additionally, ATMs and similar machines must now be placed at least five meters from the entry to a gaming room and not be visible from gaming machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1-768x261.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The government will collaborate with multiple advertising contract holders to implement the required changes over the next 12 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"862\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move3.jpg 862w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/nsw-government-bans-gambling-ads-on-public-transport-in-major-harm-reduction-move3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 862px) 100vw, 862px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Burgess said the APS was &#8220;really keen to see each state government exercise social responsibility&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re after a cultural shift in the existing approach by the industry, which tends to glorify gambling and make it look like it&#8217;s a game, when in fact it&#8217;s a risk issue.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This initiative is the latest in a series of reforms introduced by the Minns Labor Government to reduce gambling harm.
