Stop all gambling related advertising!
To ban all gambling related advertising as with tobacco to help stem the tide of gambling addiction sweeping this country!
The British government is complicit in making billions of pounds from the addiction to gambling & have even awarded honours to those responsible for creating addicts. Self regulation in the industry has not been effective in combatting the enormous rise in gambling, especially online & young people. Current legislation does nothing to prevent the deluge of gambling advertising & self regulation appears to rely solely on addicts being expected to regulate their own addiction!
