There is much controversy about gambling advertising. But there is a reason why gambling
agencies are able to do so much advertising and sponsorship. And it’s not their fault.
Much of the population is very willing to throw away money
into such institutions. If these
people think that gambling is a money making venture then they are quite
mistaken.
Seeing the growth in advertising and sponsorship by agencies
such as Centrebet, Sportsbet, Unibet, TAB, Tom Waterhouse shows which direction
the money is going.
This industry is not to blame.
If you want less gambling advertising then individually and
collectively we need to decide not to gamble, and to support those trying to
end a dependence on gambling. This will diminish their profits
and therefore their ability to advertise.
Banning the agencies from advertising their product is not
the solution and ignores the real problem. The problem being us.
