What the petition asks
I want the Government to bring it in a law to make sure that all apps, streaming channels & websites have to have a simple way for a person to opt out of seeing gambling ads.
Gambling has ruined lives, that's no secret. It's proven that a gambling addiction can be an illness, so I don’t understand why it is allowed to be dangled in front of your face or your children's face when you watch these channels. Let's stop the issue before it becomes an addiction.
