I don’t think the TV is a place for gambling adverts, of any kind. Everyone knows that TV influences people right? or they wouldn’t do it.. they wouldn’t spend 50k on an advert at prime TV time, unless they knew that it reaped reward for them.
so showing adverts = more punters=Â more cash flow = more gamblers = more problem gamblers.
As far as i’m concerned, they are like heroin dealers. here’.. come here, will give you £300 for your first deposit of £100.. (plus wagering requirements that god couldn’t succeed at.) etc.
Gambling, like Drinking, should be confided to adults, and NOT encouraged in any way to those under 18.
