Gambling advertisements have been banned from stadiums hosting Big Bash League matches, as New South Wales attempts to address the normalisation of sports betting and raise awareness of gambling harms.

Responsible Gambling Awareness Week 16 - 22 September 2019. Responsible Gambling Awareness Week is an annual initiative to increase awareness of gambling and gambling harm in the NSW community. During Responsible Gambling Awareness Week, people are encouraged to #CheckIn on their family, friends and colleagues’ gambling, as well as their own.

The Annandale Hotel is one of the few gaming free venues left in the inner west, providing a friendly, fun and safe atmosphere. 17 Parramatta Rd, Annandale, New South Wales 2038 17. Responsible Gambling Awareness Week, which begins today, is a timely reminder to all punters to take stock of their gambling activities and confine them to what is truly affordable, the NSW Minister for Hospitality and Racing, George Souris, said today. Responsible Gambling Awareness Week 2016 is on this week with a theme focused on taking the stigma out of problem gambling for those who seek help from friends and family. Deputy Premier Troy Grant said Responsible Gambling Awareness Week shines the spotlight on problem gambling and raises awareness about the free support available to help. Communities across NSW are being encouraged to get involved in local events that promote sensible gambling choices as part of Responsible Gambling Awareness Week from 23 to 29 October. The week aims to get the 65 per cent of NSW adults who gamble to think carefully about their limits whenever they have a bet.

This week the NSW Office of Responsible Gambling announced a two-year partnership with Cricket NSW that will stop betting firms promoting their services at any cricket ground.

There is already a broadcast arrangement on free-to-air TV which bans wagering advertising and promotion during and within 30 minutes of matches, but the new deal is the first to address in-ground betting promotion.

“The idea that kids are led to believe gambling is a normal part of sport is a real concern, so this is a step in the right direction that we’re proud to be taking.”

Sports organisations are regularly criticised for taking money from gambling companies.

Last year Cricket Australia rejected a sponsorship offer from an unnamed gambling company because, according to the organisation’s then-chief executive Kevin Roberts, the BBL was “fun, family entertainment”.

But CA still lists global betting giant Bet365 as one of its major corporate partners.

John Dalzell, chair of the Responsible Gambling Fund, said the initiative would provide a safer environment in which families could enjoy cricket.

“Young people are under immense pressure to fit in and are more likely to take up gambling if they consider it to be a normal part of sport and they assume that everyone’s doing it,” Dalzell said.

“Having matches free of gambling advertising means families can reclaim the game and go back to enjoying sport without the concern that children are being constantly exposed to sports betting promotions.

“It will remove the assumption that gambling is a normal part of cricket and it will refocus attention back on the game and the players – the way it should be.”
