TAB slams ‘moronic’ betting rivals for ‘annoying and intrusive’ commercials

TAB has struck out against its wagering rivals’ television advertising campaigns as calls to ban betting commercials become deafening.

The company fielded questions from the shareholders during its annual general meeting on Wednesday morning regarding “online low brow ads like Sportsbet, which are almost moronic”, as the sector faces increased scrutiny.

“We all find our competitors’ advertising annoying and intrusive,” TAB executive chairman Bruce Akhurst said.
