Athletes from Canada appeal to the authorities, imploring them to cease interference with their ads.
Sports commissioner Ambrose boldly voiced his opposition to the ban on gambling advertising, according to iGM. He penned a letter detailing his league's steps towards self-regulation in the sports world. Specifically, they've imposed limits on the frequency and duration of bookmaker ads on channels under their control.
Self-regulation in sport isn't uncharted territory. The NFL in America, for instance, confines advertisements to six per game. Moreover, several sports leagues have joined forces to form the Responsible Gaming Advertising Coalition in Sport.
As for Canada, Ambrose's concerns might be unwarranted. A top-down ban seems unlikely, at least partly because Canada's gambling market is regulated at a provincial level. Enforcing a central law would be tricky. Additionally, local authorities appear indifferent to gambling matters. So far, only Ontario has managed to establish a regulated and competitive betting market, with Alberta potentially following suit.
Regarding the gambling scene in Ukraine, the search results lack detailed, current information on the rules governing gambling advertising in sports. However, it's reasonable to assume Ukraine, like its neighboring countries, is subject to increasing regulation due to regional trends. Still, the specifics of Ukraine's regulations on sports industry self-regulation or advertising frameworks remain elusive from the data provided.
