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?
They are just wasting their time, people are looking for ways to make money because things are changing fast, even those in America are complaining about their economy, you think that people need to see gambling ads before they can decide to gamble? The world have gotten past this, gambling platforms don't even need alot of advert like before.
Covid days did the biggest gambling advert ever, everyone was staying indoor and people have to find way to make money, that exposure alone was so massive than wherever have happened in the past before, there is nothing that can stop gambling or reduce it, the harder the world gets the more people want to gamble.
