Ad Standards pulls ‘degrading’ gambling TV ad from screens

A “degrading” and “exploitative” Pulsebet TV commercial has been pulled by Ad Standards following complaints of sexism.

Amused Australia, which owns the wagering company, was forced to remove the campaign that depicted a woman winking and biting her finger as a voice-over says: “I know what gets guys super excited”. In response, a man says: “Um… obviously, it’s Pulsebet”.

Another version of the same ad featured former NRL player and PulseBet brand ambassador Beau Ryan gesturing both hands to his groin when he says “the doggies”, referencing greyhound racing.
