Anyone else seen this? One of the guys working on OGGS blog picked up on it:

Shadow Gambling Minister Tobias Ellwood said a Tory government would reverse some of the most dangerous parts of the UK Gambling Act 2005

It will only take a Russian billionaire or someone else with a nice yacht to make them go along with whatever the fat cat dictates.

I don't think they are allowed to appear until after 9pm and they aren'tr super often but certainly there are adverts running every night depending on what channel you are watching and mainly for bingo apart from Partys casino ads

I see a fair few Intercasino ones on Sky Sports too. Along with Sky Bet ads. Always struck me as interesting that the game they show in the Intercasino ads is an old-style 3-reel slot and not one of the fancier ones.

Gambling addiction is perhaps raising worldwide, but IMO is due the proliferation of land casinos, bingos, lotteries and sports agencies.
The online gambling is a minor business in comparison with the traditional version.

Of course it is always popular for politicians to blame the internet.

Beacuse they don't understand it!

Crime is rife everywhere and in more places than the police and politicians care to look at so they go for the obvious. Tards.

P.S. I also know I should never start a sentence with 'because'. Just hope my old English teacher doesnt spot it!

Bingo ads are shown at half 9 in the morning on prime time tv in the UK.

Im not sure how ethical it is to show it, with kids being able to watch the fancy glossy adverts at that time of day, but I guess I'm in no position to take the high ground.

I never liked Jeremy Kyle anyway.
