Scrap betting Ads on shirts ?

Recommended Posts

The vast scale of advertising and gambling available during football games televised points to a high level of interest / custom. That means there are likely signignifant numbers of people in serious gambling addiction. I'm not familiar with gambling tax, but increasing it is not directly focused on helping those people, it causes them to lose even more money. Addiction is an illness - Tom Watson has an eating illness / addiction - at the same time as he is talking about this illness. I don't think taxing his pies more will help him? But I guess prohibition of advertising and education may help limit future addiction when it comes to gambling. Haven't got a solution for Chinese people!

Gambling is the hidden epidemic and a large part of why people are relying on Food banks and Porn shops. Normal people whom were once responsible are drawn into a huge black hole that fools the people into thinking they can win big.

 

Peter Coates has made Stoke City what it is out of other people's misery. The Labour party were to blame in the early 2000's for relaxing the legislation then allowing the labour market to be saturated with cheap Labour which brought down wages thus people turned to gambling to alleviate their financial positions

 

I hope you meant Pawn shops! I can't imagine a large number of people relying on Porn shops lol.

Banning betting logos on shirts is, in my opinion, the tip of the iceberg when compared to on-line and 'phone gambling. Those who have online or 'phone accounts (or both) can bet on the next single, 4, 6 scored, wide balls, no-balls, fall of wicket, and so on. Similarly for football (goal, yellow/red card), rugby (try, penalty goal) plus most other sports.

 

And as daft as it seems to me, some commercials promoting betting end with the words..."Don't forget - bet responsibly"

Barry,it is a necessity to include 'bet responsibility' in any advert.Large amounts of money are invested ,by betting companies,in training of staff to indentify problem gambling.The BBA and Gambling Commission work together very closely.Woe be tied any company that doesn't adhere to the regulations.888.com have recently been fined 8m approx for failing customers.The industry is now so regulated ,you wouldn't beLieve.You are not even allowed to entice customers to bet.No posters in shop windows can do that(wording).You can show products available inside but you can't tell someone to come in and do their brains in,on those products.There are leaflets in shops re problem gambling to help customers.Shirt (company name) is of little consequence in problem gambling.Recent data shows how that PG has been at a stable level for the last 20 years.Finally,did all those clubs who advertised drink products increase the alcoholics and Chianti drinkers:wink: in the country?

Interesting idea and worth pursuing if it helps those with problems....Gambleaware does a lot of good work but it is voluntary.

 

I dare say any levy on their activity would get passed on to customers/staff in some way rather than the shareholders and senior people taking the hit.

 

Where does it end though.. a levy on pubs, off licences, supermarkets,football clubs re alcohol...chip shops cos of obesity etc, takeaways, restaurants, donut makers, Wright's pies, Boots cos of painkiller addiction, Vale cos it doesn't sell much in the way of 'healthy' food etc etc

Are they still allowed things like "It means more when there’s money on it"? I always thought that one went too far
