The Stop Harmful Gambling Advertising Act, 2026 would amend the Gaming Control Act and make it illegal for licensed Ontario operators to advertise or otherwise promote gambling sites through television, social media, and paid sponsorships. Operators that breach the law could face fines of up to $1 million on a first offence, with possible licence loss after later violations.<\/p>\n<p>Fairclough tied the bill to addiction concerns after Ontario opened the online market to private operators in 2022. She said there are now about 50 private gambling companies promoting their brands across platforms, while more people are reaching out to ConnexOntario for gambling-related help.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

The Ontario Liberals are still the third party in the legislature, just as they were when John Fraser pushed for tighter marketing rules in 2023. So even with fresh attention on sports betting ads, sportsbooks, iCasino marketing, and gambling sponsorships, getting the measure through looks difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the filing matters. It shows that anger over gambling ads during live sports has not faded, and it lands while Ottawa is also weighing more federal limits. Ontario regulators have already acted on part of the issue by banning athletes and restricting celebrity endorsements, plus keeping inducement ads off most public channels. Bill 107 goes much further by trying to shut down broad operator promotion at the provincial level.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/ontario-bill-107-targets-sports-betting-ads-across-tv-and-social-media\/\">Ontario Bill 107 Targets Sports Betting Ads Across TV And Social Media<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ontario political pressure on gambling ads is back.
