Bill Detail
An Act respecting a national framework on sports betting advertising
This enactment provides for the development of a national framework to regulate sports betting advertising in Canada and to set national standards for the prevention of risk for persons negatively impacted. It also provides for the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to review its regulations and policies to assess their adequacy and effectiveness in reducing the incidence of harms resulting from the proliferation of sports betting advertising.
This bill aims to create a national framework to regulate advertisements for sports betting across Canada. It addresses concerns that the increase in such ads, especially since sports betting became legal, may lead to more people gambling, including minors and those at risk of addiction. The framework will identify ways to restrict advertising, potentially limiting where or how often ads can appear, or banning celebrity endorsements.
