Coalition to End Gambling Ads
@endgamblingads.bsky.social
Millions of people are harmed by the gambling industry every year in the UK. The Coalition to End Gambling Ads is a campaign to stop gambling being promoted.
'Harm from gambling is not inevitable - it is preventable.'

As a start how about:

1️⃣Constrain the addictive products

2️⃣End gambling advertising

3️⃣Shield policy makers from gambling lobbyists

It's time for UK policy makers to catch up.

London's saying NO to Gambling Ads.

@sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social has wanted them off London Transport since 2021, but central government is getting in his way.

Haringey are the first council in the UK to join the Coalition to End Gambling Ads!

Councillor @ldasneves.bsky.social explained to Eddie Nestor on BBC London why they've taken a stand for the health of their citizens, and why society can choose to 'permit but not promote' gambling.

We've submitted a complaint to the ASA about this gambling advert by Stake featuring pornographic actress Bonnie Blue. It clearly breaches rules to stop gambling being linked to seduction and appealing to young people.

Let's see if the ASA or Gambling Commission do anything about it.

Think what you will of graffiti - sometimes it captures local sentiment perfectly.

'We can't grow the gambling industry and reduce harm at the same time. We really need the Labour Government to grip that principle quickly'

Today's £100m levy on gambling companies is a first step. Here are three reasons from @willprochaska.bsky.social why the Government must go further:

1. Far more people are being impacted than was thought
2. The gambling industry is a deadweight on the economy
3. The public demand change

The Government claims there's a lack of evidence that gambling advertising leads to harm. 🤔

We asked people impacted by the gambling industry for their view....
