Italian anti-usury body urges full enforcement of gambling advertising ban
Regulation · SectorWire deskSource published
Summary
The president of Italy's Consulta Nazionale Antiusura San Giovanni Paolo II, Luciano Gualzetti, called for the gambling advertising ban to be applied fully, without exceptions or indirect promotion. He cited disguised sponsorships and testimonials as ways the ban is circumvented and linked gambling to over-indebtedness, usury and family impoverishment.
Why it matters
Operators face pressure to avoid disguised sponsorships and testimonials as the anti-usury body seeks full enforcement without exceptions.
