In 2019, United Kingdom implemented a whistle to whistle ban on gambling advertising. Basically no gambling ads can be shown 5 minutes and 5 minutes after a sporting event to avoid kids and or other vulnerable people to see gambling ads when watching a big sporting match. As a gambler, what would you have felt about this? Especially if you were betting on the very same sporting match? Do you think that this was effective in reducing gambling rate in the country?
as a gambler, that's definitely fine you know how to navigate the gambling world. This isn't something a gambler should worry about instead it's the service providers nightmare considering visibility wouldn't be enough for them to be advertised anymore and with huge events like that, that's a huge loss in viewership.

I think that's has more successful rate rather than simply banning e-wallets just like what's happening in my country recently. Basically, it shouldn't be on broadcast and lives they should limit it on ada that are being shown on social media because nowadays, that's where these ads are rampant and people are more glued to social media platforms.
