Petition request
That the House of Representatives prohibit the advertising of all gambling in Aotearoa New Zealand (pokies, casinos, Lotto, TAB and online gambling), including on traditional media and online platforms; and note that 153 people signed a petition in support of this.
Petition reason
There are few regulations to restrict gambling advertising like alcohol and tobacco. Gambling ads normalise gambling and further gambling participation. People experiencing harm from gambling are more impacted from gambling ads than those who are not. Public health experts have stated that gambling ads pose a significant risk to children and young people. We believe we must do more to protect all New Zealanders from gambling ads and the harm it poses to our communities.
