Debates on the overhaul of advertising on the game to continue in Portugal
The Portuguese Parliament has reopened the arguments on an overhaul of play advertising and controls related to promotion, with proposals to be heard in the future.
The left party book has proposed a number of measures that aim to prevent dependence on the game, advertising being a great component. Friday, September 26, the party went to X (formerly Twitter) to share a speech on the issue.
The message, once translated into English, states their reasons for the proposals: “Being in restoration of a dependence on games and seeing advertising everywhere, in the street, in the metro, on television, on the Internet, is to be forced to flee the world to resist temptation. It is not freedom.
“The aim of regulating advertising on online games of chance is to protect people and families. It is not to prohibit it, but to establish rules so that the profit of some does not destroy the lives of people. Advertising for the game is everywhere – and it destroys lives. ”

The Portugal left party party calls for changes in the laws on games
They also declared on social networks that the regulation of online games “is not censorship”, but the idea is to protect those who are advertising targets and the outbuildings it creates.
“The online game has the big problem of being very invisible, it is a very invisible dependence because it happens, it is, on the mobile phone, on the computer, when no one else realizes this dependence takes place,” warned the leader of the book parliamentarian, during a press conference by Isabel Mendes, during a press conference.
One of the Party Party proposals has already been rejected, which includes the prohibition of sales or the limitation of the availability of scratching cards in health establishments. Now, deputies in Portugal will examine advertising and game promotions.
Some of the other left or left political parties in the country agree on the need for stricter restrictions and game reforms, while others do not agree with the proposals.
The Portuguese online association of Paris and Games (APAJO) has also spoken, saying rather that these limitations are not the solution. They say that the limitation of advertising could give illegal operators an advantage “by making consumers very difficult to distinguish between what is approved and what is not”.
