Additional restrictions exist on commercial free-to-air television and SBS, limiting the broadcast of gambling advertisements at specified times during G-rated programs and programs principally directed at children. A key driver for our enforcement activities will focus on level of harm. Each year, the ACMA targets key areas for improved industry compliance. These annual compliance priorities focus on areas of significant public interest or issues causing negative impacts on the community, including consumer harm. We seek feedback from stakeholders in developing these priorities. In previous years, we have focused on illegal online casinos that target Australians and affiliate marketing services that promote and direct Australian consumers to illegal offshore gambling services. In 2022- 2023, the ACMA is focusing on establishing BetStop to support Australians to self-exclude from online and phone gambling. Once BetStop launches, we will enforce the new rules for online and phone gambling providers. IAG: How has your approach to disrupting illegal online gambling evolved and how much does your work leverage collaborationwith international regulators? CC: The fluid and evolving environment in which we operate means we need to take a flexible, agile and multi-faceted approach to be effective in minimizing harm to the Australian community. We target enforcement action, including by frequent website blocking, ongoing monitoring, continuing consumer education and engagement with industry and regulatory agencies. International collaboration is essential to effectively regulate in this dynamic online environment. We engage with gambling regulators and government agencies in a range of key jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, New Jersey, Isle of Man, Malta and the Netherlands, and we use this network to share information and experiences and assist in our enforcement and disruption efforts against illegal services. We continue to explore further opportunities for regulatory collaboration and disruption options.
