Gambling companies have agreed to what is effectively a ban on betting advertisements during live sport. The Industry Group for Responsible Gambling (IGRG) has now confirmed the 'whistle to whistle' ban, which will begin in 2019. It has been decided no betting adverts will now be shown during live sport coverage before 9pm in the UK. Advertising Gambling is as bad as advertising the sale of illegal Drugs! Gambling, like drugs can ruin lives. Yet day in, day out we see adverts plastered in Newspapers, Magazines and all over the Television. 'Deposit £10 and get £30 to play' This is the hook that these bookmakers use to reel you in and before you know it, a little bit of excitement can lead to serious problems.

The gambling industry was under pressure to curb the amount of advertising in live sport as the number of problem gamblers continues to rise.
A Gambling Commission report released last month indicated that 55,000 children aged 11 to 16 could be officially categorised as problem gamblers and there were fears TV advertising was fuelling the increase.
Jeremy Wright, the culture secretary, said the ban is a 'welcome move'. He added: 'I am pleased that the sector is stepping up and responding to public concerns.
'It is vital children and vulnerable people are protected from the threat of gambling-related harm. Companies must be socially responsible.'
