This is all I see on ad supporteed TV at night here in the UK. And half the time during the day. It's a serious problem coupled with, I assume, serious lobbyists here in the UK.

The gambling lobby in the UK is exceptionally well-organised and well-funded, and pays a good few MPs "consultancy fees" to minimise regulation.

Betfair and PaddyPower are owned by the same pair of public school chancers, who are also touted as startup thinkfluencers, and spend a fortune on "sponsorship" of various sporting events.

It's an industry of bottom feeders.
