The latest group to demand severe restrictions on gambling advertising in the UK is being led by Conservative peer Lord Chadlington, and is backed by Labour and Liberal-Democrat parties, the Scottish Nationalist Party and the Church of England.
Lord Chadlington’s objective is to persuade the UK government to legislate for advertising restrictions similar to those in Australia which would see such material banned from television one hour before all live broadcasts, and for one hour afterwards.
The Conservative Party peer has published poll figures from a sample of 2,000 respondents across Britain which show that 58 percent support a blanket ban on gambling advertising on all UK channels and platforms.
The alliance wants to see gambling operators forbidden from targeting television viewers and online media with live odds on matches that may be watched by minors.
Supporting the Chadlington drive, the Church of England claims that UK bookmakers have failed to exercise any restraint over sports events advertising
