The news you provided about is ban online gambling ads in Australia, but you're relating it with this forum, now do you think all of users in this forum are Australian? the fact is this forum following the US laws, not Australian laws. Whenever the Australia want to ban online gambling ads, there's no effect to Bitcointalk since there's no laws in US to ban online gambling ads.
The proposal to ban gambling ads in Australia is mainly because of the increase in number of gamblers not up to the qualified gambling age. Since ads and promotions are not age selective, when gambling platforms and casino websites make advertisement, it also attracts young people who can easily want to gamble as it attracts the qualified in age too. In Australia, it is possible that the number of gambling advertisement has increased that is not becoming dangerous to the lawmakers are trying to control it, but the situation is not the same in other places of the world. So if gambling ads are banned in Australia, it will not have an effect in this forum, only gambling platforms and media platforms under the country will be bound to obey.

OP is not fully aware of the influence of Bitcointalk, and he undermines it, its only Australia I don't think there is a big concern at all, even big countries like China or the US cannot stop the casino industry from growing, Bitcointalk gambling section is already fully established that if only one country it will not have an impact on Bitcointalk and the whole online casino industry.

s/amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/28/ads-for-online-gambling-should-be-banned-in-australia-within-three-years-inquiry-recommends]Ads for online gambling should be banned across all media and at all times within three years to combat the manipulation of an “impressionable and vulnerable audience”, a parliamentary inquiry has recommended.
After months of debate about betting ads, including the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, labelling them “annoying” and the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, calling for a ban on ads during sports matches, the inquiry has provided a blueprint to shut them down entirely.

If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos? As we all know most established and new casinos come to bitcointalk to launch their ANN thread and carry out signature promotion campaigns which can be regarded as ads in a sense. If ads should be banned will their promotion in Bitcointalk also end?
Let say its applicable on all country then maybe since there will be a huge chance that those casino owners will find another way to market their business. And shifting to crypto casino will be there another option since they can use any crypto platforms to advertise their casino as well maybe there will be no government can bother them by doing this.
Also I don't think this forum will get affected in that implementation and also don't get worried about it since I believe that suggestion will never happen to that particular or even including to other country since somehow gambling industry brings a lot of money to them.
It's possible that certain countries or regions may impose restrictions on the promotion of online gambling platforms, including those on Bitcointalk.
What kind of restrictions? Only what can be effective is for a country to ban gambling directly. The gambling sites on this forum are not even providing gambling services to people in the countries that ban gambling. But as for gambling ads or gambling promotion, that is not going to work. People will always visit this forum as long as they have their VPN and Tor on their device.
Sure, the worries about online betting are clear. But, a total ad ban on all media platforms seems extreme. Consider the ripple effects, folks. Regarding Bitcointalk casinos, its crucial to separate the laws for traditional media and online forums. How do you enforce such a ban on a global forum with varying jurisdictions? Also, an ad ban doesnt necessarily kill all promotion on forums like Bitcointalk. Expect a strategic shift with casinos engaging directly with users instead of straightforward ads.

I don't think that banning gambling ads is the right way forward, and I don't understand why it's targeting online gambling ads specifically. Gambling addiction is a problem, but not something that affects the majority of gamblers. In this regard, it's similar to alcohol, although the latter harms the body of a drinker physically and can lead to worse consequences. I googled the online advertising policy for alcohol in Australia, and it's not banned but is somewhat restricted. They could, IMO, do the same with gambling ads.
In any case, it's just a proposal that might not get adopted, and if it does, it's only about Australia and only about ads in Australia. So I think it won't affect much of the marketing and activities of crypto casinos we see on this forum.

As I've said many times before, if you remove advertising from the media, it will definitely appear elsewhere, most likely on the Internet, and in places where the authorities can't reach, so I believe that fighting gambling in the media is a waste of resources. At the moment the advertisers get paid for the number of times an advertisement is viewed by a certain audience, so I'm more than sure that the one who is targeted by this advertisement will see it anyway.
This is rather country specific, OP.
Besides, even if gambling ads are banned or limited in some sense there are still ways vulnerable people could be affected by gambling, when they are not in the age of partaking it.
For example, we can talk about the loot boxes in video games or the streamers in YT and other platforms, what is the point to ban those ads in a context when children and teens have more access than ever to internet and alternative way of finding people gambling onlive?
At least those ads during a sport match make sense and it is more suitable in the context of people being into sportbetting.

I don't think that will be the case. But spreading misinformation like this could spread as a FUD. No, it won't end. First, the scope is only at australia. Second, it lies under the casinos, bitcointalk forum is a forum where people share ideas and networks. It won't end there so stop overcomplicating simple and misunderstood information. Bitcointalk I believe is a great platform for beginners and for those experts to interact with others.
Seems like it's country-specific, so I don't think it's going to hit bitcointalk that much, we aren't under any legal laws for a specific country afaik anyway. In the first place, I don't think this is going to be a permanent thing, even in Australia, since it's a pretty big industry in itself and brings in a lot of money as well. They might just try to approach it from a new angle or something if they're actually forced to. If they ban gambling completely like other countries, then maybe, but if it was targeted towards ads only? Specific yea, which may be helpful, but I doubt it'd be permanent as well due to that.
[.....]If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos?
Top game providers like NetEnt already ban players from Australia so it's not really going to affect casinos that are launched here. If there a large group of sports bettors here that come from AU then it could be a bit problematic.Quote

Their Government cannot ban the ads running here but they can block bitcointalk.org from being accessed by their citizens if they decide to do so.
Next time when going through an article make sure you get what it's about before you run to bitcointalk to create a thread.
The article states "ads for online gambling in Australia should be banned" it's only in Australia and not the entire world so I doubt it will have any effect on bitcointalk.

I also thought that it is for the whole world and we found out it's only in Australia, I don't think it will have a direct effect here in Bitcointalk, casinos here do not serve the Australian people only.
The title is quite misleading
the gambling community is not all Australian, OP should get the fact there are already countries that ban the advertisement of gambling ads we have one thread here about England's banning of gambling ads but no impact whatsoever.The online casino industry is flourishing, and how can the authorities be sure that they can stop Australian gamblers from pursuing their passion, gamblers always find a way, especially those who are used to playing in online casinos for entertainment.
Misleading title, I would say as it says that Ads for online gambling to be banned in Australia. You missed Australia mate, it changes the whole conclusion of the post.
There are 200 countries and you missing one in title makes Online Gambling Ads to be banned in all the 200 countries, haha.
Also, Gambling is legal in many countries and most of the gambling platforms also run sports book, they will use that to bring customers to the platform. Not a big deal for them if this happens.

Gambling is legal and can't be stopped internationally,because these casinos are sponsoring some major sport firms. Gambling ads is increasing day by day.
More countries are opening up to casinos/ gambling especially in Saudi due to the lucrativeness. Would be foolish to not capitalize on such opportunity

No, it won't. Technically not everyone knows or is interested in bitcointalk forum. Quote

Once again, the answer is no. There are specifications for areas where the ads should be ban and websites are not included. I support ad being ban on sports jersey and tv at a certain time of the day. They government or the authorities can implement that but, on the internet, nope. That's not possible. 
Already several countries have gambling ads banned partially and completely. Few of the countries include Germany, Spain, Italy, Uk and the list goes on. Does this mean that gambling isn't possible in those countries. Certain states have the ban on gambling where it isn't possible to gamble. In Qatar gambling is banned, if you remember the ads running around the ground during the days of FIFA you'll understand how effective is the ban. Ads were found around, the necessary steps need to taken on the actors and actresses, which is the effective way to ban ads. They should give the right information, not the mesmerizing chance of winning big.
The ban is only in Australia and not worldwide,which means that it will only affect them in Australia on gambling ads. Here in bitcointalk,it wouldn't affect any casino or promotions on the casino. This is the biggest crypto community online and a local restriction wouldn't change anything here. Government in different countries has their own way on tackling gambling to prevent their citizens from being an addict. Gambling is legal and can't be stopped internationally,because these casinos are sponsoring some major sport firms. Gambling ads is increasing day by day.

Bitcointalk and other places are different. And Bitcointalk is a forum providing information about crypto and a place for promotions. In addition, Bitcointalk is also not bound by regulators so promotions about gambling can still run.
But if the promotion is done in a country, it has to be approved by the government because they make the rules. People wishing to place ads must contact them for permission. If that country prohibits advertising, gambling ads cannot be displayed because later, it will make people try them out of curiosity.
