UK charity GambleAware is pressing for gambling advertisements to carry health warnings, similar to those found on cigarette packaging. The call, motivated by concern about a rise in marketing during the 2024 Euros, also advocates abolishing the existing industry-adopted slogan “Take time to think” on ads. This potential change clashes with industry operators who devised the slogan via lobby group the Betting and Gaming Council. GambleAware suggests “Gambling can be addictive” and “Gambling comes at a cost” as alternative warnings.
The Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos story is fascinating.
