Nevertheless, the judge wasn&#8217;t convinced, particularly given the billboards&#8217; strategic placement in areas frequented by males aged 15 to 54. The judge firmly emphasized that gambling promotions have no business being in public areas where minors might encounter them, and this ruling acts as a stern caution to other wagering companies contemplating bending the rules. <\/p>\n<p>Although Justice Thomas recognized the gravity of the infractions and contemplated more severe consequences, he opted for a less stringent judgment. BlueBet&#8217;s genuine contrition, their collaboration with the Victorian Gaming and Casino Regulatory Authority, and the measures they&#8217;ve implemented to avert future problems significantly influenced his ruling.
