A new study suggests that regulators might be rushing to create rules without enough evidence to back them up.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Canadian Gaming Association<\/strong> released a study on September 25, showing that gambling regulations in Canada are developing too quickly. The study argues that regulations are \u201cevolving at a faster rate than the accompanying evidence base,\u201d which could lead to rules that don\u2019t properly address the issues or are \u201cinsufficiently nuanced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study, conducted by <strong>GP Consulting<\/strong>, included researchers from <strong>Eilers &#038; Krejcik<\/strong>, <strong>UNLV\u2019s International Gaming Institute<\/strong>, and <strong>Washington State University<\/strong>. It analyzed 41 different studies on online sports betting and casino advertising, aiming to inform responsible gambling regulations.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Concerns Over Fast-Moving Regulations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Since February, new rules in Canada have banned celebrities and athletes from appearing in gambling ads. The Canadian Parliament is also considering restricting when gambling ads can be shown on TV or even banning them entirely. Similar regulations are under review in the U.S. and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The study\u2019s authors recommend targeted research in several areas, including responsible gambling advertising and tracking exposure to ads. They stress that Canada, along with other countries, should take a more flexible approach to future regulations.<\/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\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.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\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mirax Casino<\/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>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

They should promote responsible play.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid Targeting Vulnerable Groups<\/strong>: Youth and vulnerable populations should not be the focus of gambling ads.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celebrity and Sports Advertising<\/strong>: While Ontario already bans celebrities and athletes in ads, this should extend to the broader Canadian market, unless promoting responsible gambling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct Marketing Limitations<\/strong>: Promotions should only target consumers who have opted into direct marketing. Terms like \u201cfree\u201d or \u201crisk-free\u201d should be prohibited.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Affiliate Accountability<\/strong>: Operators should be responsible for their affiliates\u2019 actions in marketing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These themes are already being applied in markets like Denmark, Michigan, New Jersey, Ontario, and the United Kingdom.
