August 18 2017

Another pretty standard week; the premier league bombarding kids with gambling adverts and advertising codes being broken:

• Premier League football still bombarding kids with gambling adverts; pure greed
• Online bookmaker breaks advertising code; happens frequently
• Looks like another waste of money on a safe-gambling initiative
• Another Premier League club signs-up with a bookie; greed has no bounds
• A new plague when having a bet; the bookie doesn’t pay you when you win

The following are all the links to the media coverage proving we’re not making it up.

ps:  Does NOT include all the media coverage of violence and robberies in betting shops.  From memory there’s been about 4-5 incidents this week, so back to regular levels.
