    But its advertising is regulated even if the industry itself is allowed to do whatever they want outside of the advertising restrictions.

    So you won’t get constantly blasted for advertisements to bet while watching.

      Huh, interesting. I didn’t know that. I thought it was similar to Australia, where the betting services do advertise.

        They can advertise, they’re just not so in-your-face and will have links to Gamble Aware as part of the advert.

          I think they can only advertise after the watershed which will be in the evenings. So for a live event during the day they can’t advertise.
