To ban gambling advertisement across all UK TV, Social Media and public spaces.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on the government to immediately ban all gambling advertising across every platform — including social media, TV, and radio. These advertisements promote and fuel gambling addiction, a serious public health crisis that inflicts lasting harm on individuals, families, and future generations

I want to help build a brighter future for our younger generation, I want to see the extreme rates of gambling addiction (diagnosed and undiagnosed) plummet and I wish for an activity such as gambling which is so harmful not to be glorified in the way it is today.
