Amstelveen council backs public-space gambling advertising ban
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
Amstelveen’s municipal council approved a proposal to prohibit gambling adverts in public spaces on 16 October 2026. The restriction would be added to municipal advertising contracts as they expire or can be amended; breaches could result in penalties or contract termination. The municipality also plans to discourage gambling advertising and sponsorship at local organisations and sports clubs.
Why it matters
The proposal would extend restrictions to advertising for land-based gambling businesses in Amstelveen’s public spaces.
