What are your thoughts on this? Seems to me a long overdue discussion for the government to have. The ads are out of control.

I feel like gambling can be allowed to continue advertising but it needs to be advertised similarly to plain packaged cigarettes, where all they can offer is white text on black background with a link to the website for those who choose to partake. Take away the glamour and allure of ‘winning big’ and ‘bet with your mates’. Yes there are whole industries that might not be able to exist if gambling declines (horse & dog racing etc.) but this is probably a positive outcome.
Maybe they can have pictures like the ciggies. Like a losing dog/horse at a track or a foreclosed home, maybe someone getting their fingers broken.
