The amount of ads about gambling these days is mental. Only today heard one on the radio about gambling with your mates in a “social” environment. They hsould be banned or at least not allowed until after 9pm or something.
It’s not only happening in UK or US as well.
I’m from Lithuania and whenever I want to watch my domestic basketball league or any game broadcasted on our domestic channels I get just spammed with gambling ads, it’s like there’s no other type of ad. It’s gotten to absurd levels in the last few years.
Ireland is looking to introduce exactly this, not sure how it’ll actually work given we have Sky Sports etc.
They don’t even wait for ad breaks anymore, the commentators on Talk Sport literally give you odds mid commentary and plug the betting company so there’s basically no way to avoid it if you’re listening on the radio
