Roundtable concerning gambling commercial communications and self-regulation of gambling operators

Subject:
Gambling advertising
Published at:
IRIS 2023-2:1/19
Edition:
European Audiovisual Observatory Newsletter

The Council for Electronic Media convened a roundtable on gambling commercial communications in media services and video sharing platform services which took place on 13 December 2022. The roots of the discussions can be traced back to August 2022 when a Memorandum for Cooperation was signed between CEM and the National Revenue Agency – NRA). The reason behind the debate was the aggressive campaigns of gambling advertising which increased, especially with the broadcast of the World Cup. The latter provoked the submission of petitions by the National Children’s Network and the Parents Association to various authorities insisting on a complete ban on gambling advertising and changes to the Bulgarian Gambling Act and the Bulgarian Criminal Code. According to the members of both organizations, gambling advertising poses a serious threat to children, and media content in the field of gambling should be regulated.
