UK gambling minister calls for industry action on advertising

UK Gambling Minister Baroness Twycross called on operators to work with sports bodies and other groups to address gambling advertising, reportedly speaking at a conference in London. She said the government would monitor voluntary sports advertising codes and was developing a new safer-gambling messaging approach with the Department of Health and Social Care and the Gambling Commission. Twycross said she planned to meet the Betting and Gaming Council in the new year.
