Title TV sport exposure to betting ‘very high’ Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet The Sun (Ireland) Media type Print Duration/Length/Size 124 words Country/Territory Ireland Date 11/10/24 Description PEOPLE are exposed to “extremely high levels of gambling marketing” watching sporting events, a new study has found.
Maynooth and Ulster University examined the exposure of young Irish people to betting content on TV or social media.
It found those aged 14 to 24 are “increasingly exposed to gambling marketing in a variety of formats” — with sports shows particularly bad.
Professor Aphra Kerr said: “Some sports programmes on television have so much gambling marketing in them that they should be labelled sponsored programmes.
“If we are serious about introducing a public health approach to gambling, and we want to protect the integrity of sport, then media companies and sports organisations must remove their reliance on revenues from gambling marketing and gambling content.”Producer/Author Jason Johnson Persons Aphra Kerr, Paul Kitchin, John O'Brennan, Tugce Bidav, Erin McEvoy
