New Zealand Gambling Ad Ban Calls Grow Ahead of Casino Launch

New Zealand’s Problem Gambling Foundation (PGF) has called for a ban on gambling advertising ahead of the country’s regulated online casino launch, warning that offshore operators continue to breach existing restrictions and reach people experiencing gambling-related harm. Andree Froude, the foundation’s advocacy director, told RNZ’s Morning Report that overseas gambling companies had used social media, influencers and other promotional tactics to attract New Zealand customers despite restrictions on advertising their services.
