The ASA should consider the creation of new codes as opposed to revisions of pre-existing codes. That would perhaps ensure that social media and online marketing can be effectively regulated,&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>They went back and forth about the &#8220;lack of delivery&#8221; on a white paper from the Gambling Commission and the government, which was announced last year.<\/p>\n<p>When the white paper was released, there were calls for &#8220;tougher restrictions on bonuses and direct marketing&#8221;. They also called on operators to utilise &#8220;smarter technology&#8221; to divert gambling advertisements away from children and young people.<\/p>\n<p>This also led to a new &#8220;Safer Gambling&#8221; campaign set up by the Gambling Commission and the Department for Health and Social care.<\/p>\n<p>However, back in December 2023, the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee revealed a report which found that &#8220;<em>the government should have taken a more precautionary approach to gambling advertising in general.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Since then, more concerns have been raised by the Gambling Related Harm All-Party Parliamentary Group. They raised research directly from the Gambling Commission revealing that 6-in-10 people came across gambling adverts or sponsorships at least once a week.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement of gambling on TV was legalised by Tony Blair&#8217;s Labour government in the Gambling Act 2005, resulting in a rise in impact on young people since.<\/p>\n<p>The white paper set out by the government is set to conclude later this year, with research, surveys and more forms of research all concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking in Parliament this week, Conservative MP Sir Iain Duncan
