Metro of the capital of Great Britain promised to clean up gambling ads

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has vowed to ban gambling ads in the metropolitan area. Only if he again becomes the head of the capital of Great Britain according to the results of the elections, which will be held on May 6th. Khan, who previously put a block on the promotion of junk food in the subway, believes that gambling has a destructive effect on people and makes them addicted. Given that London Overground Rail Operations, the metro operator, expects to receive £156 million from gambling advertising in 2020-2021 alone. According to My Lucky Story, the Bristol authorities have imposed a ban on any advertising of gambling in the city. Earlier it became known that members of the British Parliament appealed to TV channels with a request to cancel gambling advertising in daytime broadcasts. Recall that the UK government, which is currently reviewing the national legislation on gambling, has an idea to block the sponsorship of sports teams by betting companies.
