That 0.8% is over $62 million though. It’s a start.

Adults who gamble are not well these laws are meant to affect - it’s kids. The biggest and best thing it will do is stop kids from being blasted with gambling ads a hundred times an hour while watching out attending the footy. Hopefully kids will not be as drawn to gambling if they’re not being exposed to it constantly.
