Closed petition Ban all advertising for online gambling sites I would like the government to pass legislation to make the promotion of online casinos illegal in the media. I know people whose lives have been destroyed by online gambling addiction and I feel that it is imperative that advertising is banned in order to minimise this problem. Italy suspends lotteries, leaving scratchcards as only available retail gambling Elite football teams in Italy have asked the government to suspend the country’s advertising ban for 12 months to help mitigate the effects of the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.
- Petition Ban gambling advertising in the UK. I am 26 years old and I already know over ten people who have been near crippled by gambling addiction. The fact that gambling is advertised is disgusting and should be held in the same regard as other addictive substances which get abused by people with poor mental health.

Betting adverts during live sporting events are set to become largely a thing of the past with the industry poised to approve a voluntary ban.
Britain's biggest gambling companies, including William Hill, Betfred and Paddy Power, have prospectively agreed to stop advertising on a 'whistle-to-whistle' basis.
It would mean any live broadcast which begins before the watershed will not contain betting adverts.
The move comes amid fears advertising during live sport is fuelling an explosion in underage gambling addicts.
The proposals, which have been put forward by the Remote Gambling Association, are yet to be fully agreed.
Sources at two of the betting companies concerned told Sky News they were having legal meetings about the prospective changes on Thursday.
It is expected they will be rubber stamped next week following a meeting of the five major gambling industry associations.
