The AFL has been criticised for its "opt-out" gambling odds website feature, which users say is ineffective.

Guest: Samantha Thomas, Gambling researcher and Professor of Public Health at Deakin University Australia
Producer: Teodora Agarici

In a statement, an AFL spokesperson said its website was "age-gated" and gave visitors to the site and app the ability to "turn off betting odds with one simple click".

"The sponsored match previews are in the process of being included in the suite of products not shown via age-gating and/or opt out on the app and website. This will be completed shortly."
