Despite the fact that gambling, like alcohol, brings heavy taxes to the budget, in many countries they are completely banned. In other countries, there are very strict restrictions on alcohol and gambling advertising. So it's not just about money, but it also depends on religious and social reasons.
are alcohol advertising restrictions common like that? in which countries?
Alcohol advertising is completely banned in countries such as Lithuania, Iceland, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Norway and Sri Lanka. Obviously, this list is not exhaustive, as I might have missed something. To these countries, it is necessary to add those countries in which alcohol is generally prohibited and, accordingly, alcohol advertising is prohibited.
