  1. Betting companies are a business. Why would they reduce advertising? They pretend they care about addiction, they dont.

    Amount of free bets i get from Will Hill to basically encourage me to gamble and spend my own money

  2. Doesn’t surprise me in the least, I’m amazed it isn’t more.

    I’ll listen to TalkSport and the gambling adverts are constant, but then on top of that the shows have sponsored segments with the likes of Coral and William Hill where a spokesperson from those companies will talk to the hosts about what bets have good odds and what special offers they have too.

    Two other sponsors I’ve heard are Selco and a van company, everything else is gambling. The MGM Casino advert with Chris Rock is on at least twice an hour.
