CARE's Tim Houston is interviewed on BBC Radio Talkback about how gambling adverts on sports shirts should be banned.
Betting ads on sports shirts are irresponsible - it normalises gambling to a very young audience. Shown completely without context, these shirts are on the backs of children's sports heroes and create the illusion that gambling is harmless, fun and without consequences. We know that is not the case.
Featured on this interview are also the brave stories of two men who are speak out about the grip that gambling had on them and why more must be done to restrict gambling advertising.
