Just to add that I am a recovering compulsive gambler. My life has nearly been destroyed by gambling, I nearly lost my husband as one evening I drained his bank account to feed this horrible addiction.
I have been through recovery and have done well, but I am totally sick of the constant reminders and the adverts that are telling us that gambling is great.
I will never ever forget not having £2 for my daughter to go to the school disco as I have drained both my account and my husbands on online gambling sites.
I told my young daughter once that she had to wait until payday for something and her reply was "mummy, why don't you just play bingo and get some money?" She didn't know about my addiction but had been influenced by TV ads that gambling can make you rich.
Please sign my petition to make the future bright for our children

The momentum behind this is undeniable and it proves that people are finally waking up to the predatory tactics used by gambling companies. I am done watching the government ignore the destruction of families while they allow these vultures to parade their ads everywhere. This surge in support is a direct threat to the industry that thrives on our pain.

Gambling and greed are corrupting and harming professional sports and everyone who watches them. It's all to enrich people that are already incredibly wealthy. Gambling institutions are despicable parasites that should be eliminated.
Before these gambling apps, my son never had a problem with gambling, now he is on these apps a lot, and never has any money anymore, he is losing so much money. The gambling machines that used to be in stores or 7 11 stores were banned, so why would we now make it even more easier for people to start gambling with online apps. This needs to be taken seriously, and put a stop to all the gambling apps online.
See online gambling ads too often & it’s a real problem in today’s society
Im a gambling addict, im starting to realise maybe its not my fault. Maybe its these constant mind tricks and offers and manipulation that steals all my money. The ONLY ads that i get are gambling ads now. I must get over 100 every single day. On tv. On my phone. On games. On buses. On food and drinks. I cant escape it, im trapped.
my partner is in recovery from gambling, £20,000 later
It’s not right to monopolize anything. Commercials are annoying enough but these are too much and to only play these kinds of commercials is ridiculous
I still find it rather puzzling ,why and how these on line gambling sites make loosing ones hard earned money so fashionable and allmost glorified

Gambling ads are targeting the weakest of our communities. It is a highly addictive and dangerous industry. This ruins lives. Life is meant to be protected and treasured.
