Major Challenges:

• Increased exposure of children to online gambling 
• The UK gambling industry is growing due to lenient regulations, but this has drawbacks. Advertisements, encouraged by the government, have sparked concerns. Online gambling ads are blamed for enticing children into betting early. There are protests calling for bans on these ads.
• Some gambling sites even use cartoon characters to lure kids into betting on games like Top Cat and Peter Pan, which is illegal and harmful. Calls for restrictions during sports events are growing. Authorities like the Gambling Commission and the Advertising Standards Authority have warned against ads appealing to under-18s.
• Despite being legal, the exploitation of content and celebrity endorsements has led to more young gamblers. This could hinder market growth. Campaigners want action to stop normalizing betting among young people. It’s a tricky situation for the gambling sector, as it faces mounting pressure to change its advertising tactics.
