Is it just the accessibility which changed to make it more popular? Are there laws against advertising it?
There is literally nothing to be said for gambling and these adverts are going to encourage vulnerable, disatisfied or bored people into wasting hundreds of pounds on a very quick thrill. Not to mention those who will get too heavily in to it and as is well documented it can become a terrible addiction which literally ruins lives.
I am particularly pissed off with the ones aimed at women, so brainless and patronising.
So am I being AIBU, do the gambling companies have just as much right as others to tout their wares on TV?
