Join the Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm (SRGH) Roundtable event on 18 May 2026
The Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm (SRGH) programme at the ALLIANCE invites you to a Roundtable event.
UK advertising regulations on gambling are far more liberal than other countries in Europe, yet we produce more evidence on the harm it causes. Every year, £1.5 billion is spent on gambling advertisements in the UK – advertising that young people are regularly exposed to through digital, tv, radio, and on our streets.
With the FIFA World Cup approaching, this free event examines the relationship between gambling advertising, sport, and harm amongst young people. This event will build momentum to advocate for a childhood free from gambling advertising in Scotland, reducing the risk and harm that gambling poses to young people.
This free event will bring together voices from across the third sector, academia, public health, policy, and lived experience to discuss:
- What impact gambling advertising and marketing has on people, especially young people
- Ways in which we can reduce and regulate gambling marketing and advertising
- How best to use our collective voice to advocate for change
