As the 2024 Euros gets underway, GambleAware is calling for “stronger health warnings” on gambling advertising as it aims to reposition such ads as a public health risk.
New research from the charity reveals growing public concern around the amount of gambling advertising in the media and around football. According to the research, 67% of respondents feel there is too much gambling advertising and 66% are concerned about the impact on children.
