Rejected petition Give gambling advertising the same restrictions as tobacco advertising

Gambling adverts are on the TV every time you turn on Sky Sports or BT Sport. Gambling addiction is far more dangerous than the already controlled tobacco industry, it destroys lives and relationships and can happen in MINUTES. It is abhorrently dangerous for children to believe gambling is normal!
