The Proliferation of Gambling Ads in Ontario

As the hockey season approaches its end, Canadians find themselves amidst two prevalent discussions: the fate of their beloved teams in the playoffs and the incessant bombardment of television advertisements promoting online sports gambling.

This inundation of commercials finds its origins in Ontario, Canada's most populous province, which opted for a competitive marketplace nearly two years ago following the federal government's decision to open up sports betting. Presently, 79 online gambling platforms, not solely dedicated to sports, legally operate in Ontario, offering ample opportunities for residents to part ways with their hard-earned money. In contrast, other provinces incorporate sports betting into their provincial lottery systems.

Ontario's New Regulations: Restricting Athlete and Celebrity Endorsements

Recently, Ontario implemented new regulations prohibiting online gambling ads featuring athletes and celebrities, including icons like Wayne Gretzky, Connor McDavid, and Auston Matthews—prominent stars in the National Hockey League (N.H.L.).

A Call for Federal Intervention: Banning All Gambling Advertising

However, a coalition comprising notable figures from Canada's sports community is advocating for federal intervention to ban all gambling advertising. Drawing parallels to the stringent regulations on cigarette advertising in Canada—a measure proven effective in curbing smoking rates—the group aims for a similar approach to tackle the proliferation of gambling ads.

Joining the Backlash: Understanding the Broader Movement

This movement aligns with a broader backlash against online sports betting, extensively covered by my colleagues Eric Lipton and Kevin Draper. Additionally, Jenny Vrentas has explored the complexities that online gambling introduces to the National Football League (N.F.L.).

As we witness the convergence of sports and commerce, it becomes imperative to safeguard the well-being of athletes and celebrities, shielding them from the undue influence of gambling advertisements. Just as stringent measures were enacted to combat smoking, it's time for a concerted effort to limit the ubiquity of gambling promotions, ensuring a healthier and more responsible landscape for sports enthusiasts and celebrities alike.
