Alberta Seeks Proposals for Gambling Addiction Services as Part of iGaming Launch
Physicians say Labor’s plan leaves most of 31 inquiry recommendations untouched as negotiations continue over gambling ad bans and other safeguards.
- The Royal Australasian College of Physicians has joined calls for federal gambling law reforms as parliamentary negotiations continue, describing Labor's proposed changes as insufficient to address public health harm.
- A 2023 inquiry led by the late Labor MP Peta Murphy recommended a complete phase-out of gambling advertisements, yet few of the 31 recommendations have been implemented by the government in the years since.
- Royal Australasian College chapter president John Saunders labeled the reforms "disappointing for people working in the area of public health," noting gambling addiction creates the same brain connections as other drug addictions.
- Independent MP Kate Chaney and Liberal MP Simon Kennedy urged an independent policy review, with Chaney arguing partial bans move money rather than stopping harm, as Labor prepares to debate reforms on Wednesday.
- In Alberta, the Addiction Ministry is seeking applications for enhanced support services funded by a 1 per cent revenue share from regulated operators, aiming to address rising addiction risks from the province's newly launched iGaming system.
