Rejected petition Reduce the number of gambling adverts on tv and in the media

I am recovering from a gambling addiction, I lost my job, my wife, and home. When I was gambling I was vulnerable to new sites and adverts as I couldn’t stop, reducing the number of adverts will protect the vulnerable.

More details

I already have signatures on www.change.org where you could read my full story and I also have the backing of my local newspaper and am taking this very seriously and reaching out to other sources of media.
