RUSSIA REDUCES ACCESS TO GAMBLING ADS
Restricted broadcasting and public viewing
Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian parliament, has endorsed amendments to the Law on Advertising that effectively limit the advertising of casinos and gambling activities, reports Tass.
The revised law aims to restrict the involvement of underage Russians in any form of gambling.
Effective immediately, casinos and other gambling venues may no longer place outdoor advertising or promotions.
Radio and TV channels may not air gambling promotional material from 07h00 to 22h00 hours, and the new law also introduces a ban on advertising in airports, at railway stations and metro stations.
Gambling advertisements may only be placed inside gambling venues or in specialised gambling printed media.
The content of advertising material is controlled, too. The contents of gambling ads of any type may not contain promises of a sure win, cannot target underage citizens or (quaintly) "...use the images of people and animals."
Companies violating the law may face penalties up to 500,000 roubles (around US $ 1800).
