What the petition asks
Gambling is addictive - this is a proven fact. It is as addictive as nicotine and other drugs. It destroys lives and families and often leads to suicide. Advertising of cigarettes and cigars is banned. Advertising of gambling and gambling websites should also be banned - the arguments are the same.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
