Closed Ban all advertisement of gambling

Closed on

The Government should ban all advertisement for gambling sites and casinos on public and personal spaces.

Gambling addiction is something that affects a lot of people in this country, many who try to hide it. Gambling can have a more drastic effect and at a faster pace on a person's life than cigarettes, which are no longer allowed to be advertised. The same ban on advertising should apply to gambling. Currently gambling adverts are in stadiums, online, on TV and multiple other platforms. This can only contribute to the high rate of gambling addictions.
