Ban Ads For Sports Gambling

Ban Ads For Sports Gambling

The Issue

 A Statistics Canada study revealed that over 300,000 Canadians are at "severe" or "moderate risk" for gambling-related problems. The constant bombardment of sports betting ads only serves to exacerbate this issue, normalizing and promoting a potentially harmful activity.

Sports gambling can lead to serious financial difficulties, mental health issues and family problems. Yet these advertisements make it seem like a harmless pastime or an easy way to make money. This is both misleading and dangerous.

It's time we take action to protect vulnerable individuals from falling into the trap that is gambling. We need stricter regulations on advertising for sports gambling in order to reduce its visibility and appeal.

By signing this petition, you are supporting a call for change that could save thousands from severe financial hardship and emotional distress caused by problem gambling. Please sign today!
