Closed ban betting advertising and sponsorship on television and UK press.

Closed on

the level of betting advertising is growing out of control.
Its everywhere;
TV adverts
Programme sponsorship
TV channel sponsorship
Sports event sponsors

Most offer free bets, or free money bets as incentives.

Gambling is addictive and destroys family life.

The way in which betting companies advertise need strict control, to curb the ever increasing problem of gambling addiction.
The massive increase in the number of online betting sites being able to fund such promotional activity is testimony to their success at the expense of UK households.

This is not the kind of enterprise we should be promoting.
