Boot gambling ads from the AFL Grand Final
The AFL Grand Final should be a celebration of footy, not a billboard for the gambling industry. But right now, our screens are flooded with betting odds, even more than goals. Kids are growing up thinking gambling is just part of the game.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
We’re calling on the AFL to show leadership and commit to making the 2026 Grand Final completely free of gambling ads, setting a new national standard for protecting our kids, our families, and the integrity of our sport.

Why this matters
600,000+
kids under 18 gamble $18 million a year
1,000,000+
gambling ads flood our screens annually
76%
of Aussies support a full ban on gambling ads
It's time we turn up the heat and show just how serious we are about stopping gambling ads.
For every minute these gambling ads flood our screens—especially during the Grand Final—they're doing real damage. They’re tearing families apart, they're fuelling abuse toward players, and they're grooming the next generation of gamblers through our kids. Enough is enough.
Let’s protect our community, honour the game, and kick gambling ads off the field.
Sign this petition to demand that the AFL ban all gambling ads from the 2026 Grand Final.
Momentum is building, but we need urgent action. Every donation pushes us closer to banning gambling ads for good.
