No. Under section 8C of the IGA, gambling services with a designated broadcasting or datacasting link are exempt from the prohibition. This means that promotions run in close association with television programs are not prohibited. The explanatory memorandum (PDF, 205.5 KB) provides guidance and examples on this matter (see discussion of section 8C).
