They should do more than just that. Gambling is a blight.

Dodgy donors aside, I can’t believe gambling ads had allowed to become so prevalent on TV.

Why are gambling ads a thing? I’m pretty sure they were illegal when I was a kid. That should never have changed.

Good. Hopefully they do something about such a horribly exploitative business.

If you haven’t seen Christopher Eccleston’s recent mini documentary on this subject, it’s well worth it.

What about the constant Heart/Greatest hits etc Radio text and win crap For a chance to win 10’s or 100’s of thousands. That is gambling.

The govt are very very worried about people seeing naked bodies but not at all worried about people getting into thousands of pounds in gambling debts and then unaliving themselves.
Gambling is evil – and particularly the “innocent” way in which things like the National Lottery present themselves. Why not get someone hooked on gambling with a Christmas scratchcard?? Or certain betting companies to whom it’s all just a bit of “bantz”.

Every single ad I see on Paramount Plus seems to be gambling related. It needs much stronger regulation.

Just ban them, why is this so hard
No adverts, no signs, no names on sports teams t-shirts
They can continue to ruin lives, but at least make them do it the hard way
-Edit
This goes for the fucking national lottery too (idiot tax)
They should be barred from advertising anywhere and signage on the front of casinos should be prohibited and they should be forced to paint them that yucky green with pictures of crying families and people being beaten by loan sharks life sized on the building
Also barred from Google SEO and results
