Senate Committee’s Study of Bill S-269 on Advertising for Sports Betting

Cardus supports the creation of a national framework on sports betting advertising. Our core position is that sports betting advertising should be treated similarly to alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis advertising, reducing exposure to these products for those most at-risk.
