So many idiots in this thread with no critical thinking ability. This is a perfectly believable scenario.
‘Hurrrr durrr why would gambling companies bother advertising then’
They’re competing for the attention of preexisting gambling addicts. It can’t be assumed that these advertisements have any effect on the overall size of that pie.
The business is driven by whales. Personally, I find it hard to believe that the overall number people with horrific gambling addictions is a function of ‘are clubs are allowed to have gambling sponsors or not’. Whatever the case, it’s certainly valid to require evidence of the effects before making assumptions.
Policies like this are pencil pushing, time wasting virtue signals. Does bugger all to help anyone. They are a creation of gambling PR departments, who love discourse centered around this meaningless shit, rather than difficult questions be asked about the moral core of their business. Be above it.
