OVER 50% of Australians would support gambling ads banned across broadcast channels before 10.30pm, Mumbrella reported.
That's according to new research as the nation is also revealed to be the world's biggest gambling loser per capita.
The research comes from the Australian Gambling Research Centre at the Australian Institute of Family Studies, which surveyed 1,765 Australian residents aged 18 years and over in Jul 2022.
It found that three in four Australian adults have gambled in the past 12 months.
Australians are the biggest losers per capita when it comes to gambling, with more then $25 billion lost last year.
Sixty-nine per cent believed that gambling advertising is 'too common', while 60% believe it makes 'sport less family friendly' and 46% said it 'decreases their enjoyment of sport'.
As a response, 53% of respondents backed a ban to all gambling advertising before 10.30pm on radio, TV, live stream and on-demand, with 19% in opposition to such a ban.
Forty-two per cent are for a ban of sports coverage sponsorship with 26% in opposition.
