What the petition asks
To stop any form of advert promoting gambling as this is very destructive for the people of this country especially with so many having lost their job.
The news as always has been highlighting the overwhelming images of suffering and loss of life throughout the planet because of corona virus. After the news however, having online gambling adverts aired has been found by many to be in very poor taste, especially with so many people losing their lives or people losing their jobs and or in destitute. To have these types of ruthless companies and selfish individuals praying on the misery of so many is heartless, selfish and cruel.
