There is a lot of talk in recent times about something that jumps out of its own weight. There are many advertisements of bookmakers on television, radio and other media. It is a problem that must be legislated categorically, in the same way that issues such as tobacco or alcohol have been legislated. But why so late? Are they taking advantage of the latest pigtails based on banknotes?

It is a proposal that unites two totally opposite political parties such as Ciudadanos and Podemos, both of which precisely point to the advertising of bets as something similar to tobacco. The successes achieved with tobacco are precisely those pursued in sports betting.

It is enough to turn on the television to watch a game of the Spanish league and the first thing we see before starting the match is a series of proposals to bet on the match, during the match there are advertisements both in the stadium, as the shirts of the players and on the television screen. During the break new betting proposals are presented that have changed according to the result of the match or the performance of the teams, and during the second half the same thing.

Online casinos are an added problem to bookmakers

All these proposals to bet are followed by the usual "If you deposit 100€ we double the deposit totally free", something that undoubtedly encourages you to play and I do not know to what extent it will be true that "totally free", I could see that there are different conditions more or less difficult depending on the betting house chosen.

Are you giving the whole truth? The code of conduct for the organisation of the game penalises the concealment of this information.

This is how the bets on the break of the matches are presented

Not to mention the time in which these ads appear, are broadcast in any time slot the excuse is the match. Minors are quite sensitive to the propositions of making money while watching your favorite sport, coupled with the usual in those ages to think themselves smarter than no one can lead to a problem that first will be 10 € but it is not known where it will end.

In short. This legislation should arrive as soon as possible and not leave any loose ends so that companies as aggressive as those of gambling are not looking for where to go to follow their desires on television.
