A bill that could further curb advertising for online sports betting sites is making progress in Canada’s Senate despite recent concerns raised by professional leagues, whose words have gone a long way with lawmakers in the past.
The Senate of Canada’s Transport and Communications Committee met Wednesday evening and reported Bill S-269 to the full chamber for further debate and possible passage.
S-269 proposes a national framework for advertising sports betting in Canada that will suggest ways to restrict such marketing, including limiting the number of ads or the locations they can appear.
