Ban online gambling advertising before the watershed.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I’ve noticed the very frequent advertising of online gambling on sports channels. This is on when children could be watching. I think this is wrong. I consider it could be encouraging betting by introducing the subject to younger people too soon. It should be after the 9 pm watershed only.

Why it was rejected
