The Betting and Gaming Council has hailed the success of the whistle-to-whistle ban on gambling ads during the World Cup 2022. The organization claims that the ban has reduced the number of gambling advertisements broadcasted during this year's tournament by 34%. The ban prohibits advertisers from showing gambling adverts from five minutes before an event to five after it ends and before the 9 pm watershed.

BGC hails success in reducing gambling ads during World Cup 2022. The NGO is working with its partners to ensure that new age-gating rules are introduced for social media that will prevent U-25s from seeing gambling advertisements digitally. The gambling industry created 110,000 jobs, generating £4.2bn in tax and contributing £7.1bn to the economy.
