It really annoys me seeing so much advertising for gambling. The adverts aren't always crystal clear about exactly how much you are going to end up spending. They make is sound marvellous, and that you are going to win loads, and people are drawn in by it. Even if they don't intend on spending much, the lure, once you've signed onto something like an online gambling site is very strong.
While I do not think there should be an all out ban, I think there needs to be much tighter regulations:
1. The amount of advertising that is allowed to be shown.
2. What channels it is allowed to be shown on.
3. What time of the day it is allowed to be shown on.
4. Not to have it glamourised.
