Specific Details Gambling Bill: The ban on gambling ads includes fundraising raffles & lotteries, which will impact charities

Intended results Whilst we support the Bill’s aims to protect people from the tactics of commercial gambling companies that can draw them into problem gambling, none of the studies on problem gambling have identified fundraising raffles and lotteries as a cause. Fundraising should not be equated with commercial gambling.
