Effective February 28th of 2024, endorsements for internet-based gaming sites featuring well-known athletes or prominent individuals will be prohibited. This action by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) aims to safeguard young individuals who may be more susceptible to influence from these high-profile figures, potentially leading them toward harmful behaviors. The updated guidelines are unambiguous:  gaming enterprises are prohibited from utilizing athletes, whether current or former, in their promotional materials unless the content specifically promotes responsible gaming practices.  Furthermore, the prohibition extends to include all public personalities, social media influencers, animated characters, or imagery that could be appealing to younger audiences. <\/p>\n<p>Ontarios gaming authority means business. They&#8217;ve established strict regulations for internet-based wagering, particularly concerning the use of popular figures to attract young audiences.  Imagine eye-catching promotions featuring celebrities adored by youth \u2013 that&#8217;s now strictly prohibited. <\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s not solely about influential individuals. The AGCO is taking a firm stance against any marketing that presents gambling as enticing to minors. This translates to a ban on advertisements near educational institutions or areas frequented by children. They are even scrutinizing the wording employed in promotions, ensuring it doesn&#8217;t target a younger demographic. <\/p>\n<p>And they are resolute in upholding these regulations. Apollo Entertainment experienced this firsthand when they received a substantial penalty for their inadequate approach to responsible gaming. The message is unambiguous: safeguard children, or face the consequences. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The province of Ontario is implementing stricter regulations on advertisements for wagering.
