In June 2026, The Australia Institute commissioned YouGov to conduct a nationally representative sample of 2230 Australians on their attitudes towards gambling advertisements.

This polling found that four in five (79%) Australians support a total ban on gambling advertisements including on TV, radio and online. Despite this high level of support for a total ban, only one in three (34%) Australians think the restrictions proposed by the Albanese government do not go far enough.
