Latvia plans to improve control over illegal gambling ads

The Ministry states that the amendments to the law on advertising plan to restrict illegal gambling advertisements  will protect the public interest by reducing the harmful effects of gambling and lotteries, ensuring a controlled, legal, socially responsible, and non-addictive environment for gambling and lotteries.

The amendments to the Law on Advertising will establish a responsible authority to monitor the advertising market for gambling and lotteries, ensuring timely and professional action to prevent the dissemination of gambling and lottery advertising in the public space.
