I think they should look to ban it off terrestial tv, been seeing coral adverts popping up on itv2 and itv4 recently, plugging their 'rewards grabber' with flashy graphics making it look like some fabulous, generous giveaway feature, when from my experience you're lucky to win one 10p free spin on eye of horus.

Not right to mislead people like this, many sat at home in lockdown, possibly short of a few bob, who have never gambled, never played an online slot or table game, and up pops an eye catching tv advert implying the promise of freebies and prizes.

bbc coverage of snooker is festooned with betfred signs everywhere, hours of advertising coverage/product placement they couldn't get for that price, darts ditto.
