Ireland’s GAA and GPA call for ban on betting ads during live games Share
Gaelic Athletics Association (GAA) and
Gaelic Players Association (GPA), have argued for new regulations targeting gambling advertisements.
This is not the first time that the GPA has expressed its opinions on gambling’s presence within sports across the country.
Last year, the GPA showed its support for a gambling overhaul, having been in discussions with broadcasters to limit the prevalence of betting advertisements during live coverage of Gaelic football and hurling.
Since then, both sporting bodies have implemented independent bans on gambling sponsorship, and are now arguing for the introduction of legislation at a national level.
