I would support this. Just the other day I was having a conversation with my partner about how, recently, gambling advertising has really exploded all over Chicago, and it really is quite obnoxious.
I doubt a ban would happen, though. The worst offender for eyesore gambling advertisements is the state-run lottery.
- MavisBacon 3y agoThere at least eventually should be regulation like we see with alcohol ads on TV, only very specific messaging is allowed here in the US.
- mumblemumble 3y agoI think the political challenge there is that the ban on TV ads for alcohol (and tobacco, for that matter) was largely fueled by public concerns about children consuming these products, and I don't think there's the same level of worry about kids gambling. In the US these days there seems to be more public fear that kids might somehow be harmed for life if they read And Tango Makes Three even once.
