London Assembly member calls for gambling-harm definition as TfL ad ban is considered
London Assembly member Krupesh Hirani launched a city-wide Gambling Harms Action Group and urged ministers to define harmful gambling, the report said. The Mayor of London has pledged to prohibit gambling adverts on Transport for London services, but his office said Sadiq Khan would consider next steps after the Government’s Gambling Act review concludes. TfL received almost £5 million from gambling adverts between 2018 and 2023.
A formal definition could affect the legal basis for a proposed gambling-advertising ban on TfL services.
