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, such can't have an effect on me, as I don't need the gambling ads to know about my game. I can always track it, but for kids it will have an effect on them since there is no age limit to who can watch a match and who can't, so gambling ads will and can easily influence them, so banning it is something that's going to do more good to the young than harm to other gamblers.
