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.
Petition To Ban Gambling Advertising Companies
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. Ban gambling adverts Jonathan Bennett started this petition to UK Parliament As a croupier of over 10 years and avid sports fan I, like many people I know professionally and personally enjoy gambling. Sign My Petition to STOP aggressive advertising by Gambling Houses. Kelly Field Saint Helens, United Kingdom. I am 32 year old Female with along Term partner and 15 year old son. I work full time and my Partner works Full time. I had a Grievance with my work place back in 2012.
Online casinos make it too easy for people to gamble to excess and even with limits put in place they can easily be circumvented. By advertising on television and offering free money, guaranteed wins etc they are drawing people in who may then become addicted. Online gambling addiction destroys families and lives and these companies should not be allowed to promote their product on mainstream media.

Gambling has destroyed many lives and continues to do so for those who are unable access help. Gambling is an addiction that never goes away and the Government should indentify the risks of someone getting in to gambling and stop the advertising on TV and the internet. I really dont understand why we are being encouraged to try gambling cause once you place that first bet it will destroy your life That first £10 bet will soon become more and before you know it you will have wagered thousands of pounds and lost. In this day especially people are desperate to 'earn' extra money in our recession and the adverts glamourise the fact that you could win big and encourage people to play. STOP advertising on ebay, TV and other public places. If people want to gamble they will, but dont encourage it as the country will be in a worse state then it is now and families will be destoyed. Gamblers Anonymous do a fantastic job with those who plead for help to stop their addiction a totally free service that has helped many. I wonder if the government think about the gambler in therapy when they allow advertisements on TV or sponsor TV programs like Jeremy Kyle? Like a cig to a smoker who has given up and like a drink to the alcoholic who is recovering.
