Rejected petition Stop advertising gambling sites on television.

Remove gambling adverts during advert breaks. The amount of gambling adverts has greatly increased across television from competitions, betting sites and bingo sites. This is bringing people in to financial difficulty and praying on the vulnerable adults who are lonely and chasing money.

More details

I want you to stop all gambling opportunities on tv before 9pm.

This has successfully been done with the sugar campaign and tobacco.
