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.
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.
It feels like at least every other ad is a gambling ad in Australia. The record I have seen was 4 ads in a row. Bet365, Sportsbet, Ladbrokes, Bet365 again. Fucking ridiculous
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

ESPN Chile is insufferable with the betting ads. Most of which are extremely cringeworthy while at it.
Not to say the people shilling them in every show. How they sleep at night.

That’s literally what the article is about
Ireland is looking to introduce exactly this, not sure how it’ll actually work given we have Sky Sports etc.
