AA Comment on the Government’s Gambling White Paper

The Government has published the Gambling White Paper, following its review of the Gambling Act 2005.  In response to the White Paper, the Advertising Association has issued the below statement.

Stephen Woodford, CEO, Advertising Association, said:

“We welcome the clarity provided by the White Paper and look forward to engaging with government and industry bodies in future consultations. It is worth noting the Advertising Standards Authority takes a zero-tolerance approach to code breaches. All gambling companies must use advertising responsibly and follow requirements that all advertising should be legal, decent, honest and truthful.”
