Labour MP pushes for Channel 4 to lead way for ban on gambling adverts
Briefly

Alex Sobel has taken a stand against betting advertisements on Channel 4, highlighting the public's support for a full ban on gambling advertising, particularly to protect younger audiences.
With approximately £2 billion spent annually on betting advertisements, there are increasing concerns about the influence of these ads on young people, who are already engaging with gambling.
The statistics reveal an alarming trend: 36 percent of 11 to 16-year-olds surveyed had placed bets in the past year, pointing to the urgent need for regulatory change.
Concerns surrounding gambling addiction are particularly acute in the North West and North East of England, where risk levels are significantly higher compared to other regions.
