Apparently, they have a financial agreement with Sportsbet, and the &#8220;Adore the sport, not the chances&#8221; initiative didn&#8217;t align with that.  Therefore, after a mere seven days of a planned month-long run, the ARFL terminated the initiative on their website and social media channels. <\/p>\n<p>The incongruity is that the initiative, financed by the Victoria Responsible Gaming Foundation (VRGF), features athletes from Victoria ARFL teams promoting responsible gaming. It&#8217;s presently broadcasting on all the primary television and radio stations in the region. <\/p>\n<p>The ARFL, despite having endorsed the initiative initially, didn&#8217;t even inform the VRGF about their choice to pull it. They&#8217;ve subsequently acknowledged that removing the advertisements from their website was a blunder. An ARFL representative stated they have a long-term partnership with the VRGF and that the elimination of the digital initiative was an oversight. They assert to be dedicated to collaborating with the VRGF and advocating for responsible gaming. <\/p>\n<p>To make matters worse, ESPN, the global sports website, also withdrew the initiative. Shane Lucas, head of VRGF, conveyed his dissatisfaction, emphasizing the worries of numerous Victorians regarding the volume of sports wagering advertisements young individuals encounter. <\/p>\n<p>The Victorian-based Australian Rules Football teams comprehend the risks associated with wagering endorsements and have collectively decided against them. <\/p>\n<p>It was disheartening to witness the AFL and ESPN discontinue their &#8220;Love the game, not the odds&#8221; initiative.  We acknowledge the AFL&#8217;s clarification that it was an error and embrace their pledge to advocate for responsible gaming. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Rules Football League (ARFL) made an error \u2013 they removed an anti-wagering initiative&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":88,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v22.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ARFL Ditches Anti-Gambling Campaign After 7 Days<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Australian Rules Football League (ARFL) cancelled their\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/2024\/06\/11\/afls-removal-of-anti-gambling-initiative-sparks-controversy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AFL&#039;s Removal of Anti-Gambling Initiative Sparks Controversy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Australian Rules Football League (ARFL) cancelled their\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/2024\/06\/11\/afls-removal-of-anti-gambling-initiative-sparks-controversy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Experience the Next Generation of Online Casino Entertainment\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-06-11T00:16:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-12T07:47:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Serenity &quot;Sage&quot; McCormick\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Serenity &quot;Sage&quot; McCormick\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/2024\/06\/11\/afls-removal-of-anti-gambling-initiative-sparks-controversy\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/2024\/06\/11\/afls-removal-of-anti-gambling-initiative-sparks-controversy\/\",\"name\":\"ARFL Ditches Anti-Gambling Campaign After 7 Days\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-06-11T00:16:22+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-12T07:47:16+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/#\/schema\/person\/1ae2c549b7c9bf2f6e7354a2cbb03a70\"},\"description\":\"The Australian Rules Football League (ARFL) cancelled their\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/2024\/06\/11\/afls-removal-of-anti-gambling-initiative-sparks-controversy\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/2024\/06\/11\/afls-removal-of-anti-gambling-initiative-sparks-controversy\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/2024\/06\/11\/afls-removal-of-anti-gambling-initiative-sparks-controversy\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Homepage\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"AFL&#8217;s Removal of Anti-Gambling Initiative Sparks Controversy\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/uptownacesnodepositbonuscodes.icu\/\",\"name\":\"Experience the Next Generation of Online Casino Entertainment\",\"description\":\"Unleash your gambling potential with our up-to-date news, comprehensive reviews, and expert articles.
