A week dominated by gambling advertising;

• Horse racing shouldn’t rely on evil FOBT money
• Call for gambling adverts to be banned in Australia
• More evidence that teenagers are bombarded with gambling adverts.
• Gambling adverts soar by 500%
• Credit cards should be banned for online gambling
• Bookmakers’ tricks to get you hooked
• Free bets are ripping customers off say Competition and Markets Authority

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.
