Canadian senators urge national ban on sports betting advertising
Forty Canadian senators backed a request for Prime Minister Mark Carney to seek a national ban on sports betting advertising. Senators Percy Downe and Marty Deacon said in a letter that the growth of betting since single-event sports wagering was legalised in 2021 had become a public health concern, and asked the CRTC to impose the ban.
A national advertising ban would change how sports betting operators can promote their services across Canada.
