Bill Detail
An Act respecting a national framework on sports betting advertising
This enactment provides for the development of a national framework to regulate sports betting advertising in Canada and to set national standards for the prevention of risk for persons negatively impacted. It also provides for the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to review its regulations and policies to assess their adequacy and effectiveness in reducing the incidence of harms resulting from the proliferation of sports betting advertising.
Bill S-211 aims to create a national framework to regulate advertising for sports betting across Canada. This is a response to the significant increase in sports betting ads, which research suggests may lead to more people, especially minors and vulnerable individuals, participating in gambling. The bill requires the Minister of Canadian Heritage to develop this framework, consulting with various levels of government, stakeholders, and Indigenous communities. The framework will set standards for advertising, research, and support for those affected by gambling harm.
