Description

Australia's illegal offshore gambling market has more than doubled since 2019,  with Australians now losing $3.9 billion a year to illegal sites.

The federal government is reportedly considering a crackdown on offshore gambling amid internal pressure also to ban advertising across traditional and social media.
