Are the gambling ad laws reform or capitulation?

After weeks of negotiations, the government has struck a deal with the Coalition to pass its long awaited gambling ad laws. The amendments include a centralised system for opting out of online advertising, and some restrictions on inducements. The deal has been criticised by anti-gambling advocates, the crossbench, and some Coalition MPs for falling short of the recommendations of a review which called for a blanket advertising ban.
