Rejected petition Stop gambling advertising on television. Gambling does untold damage.

The proliferation of gambling adverts on television is shocking. They encourage people to bet on almost anything. This causes great damage to individuals and families in as many ways as alcohol. I believe it is time these adverts should be banned just as alcohol adverts were banned.
