National Framework on Advertising for Sports Betting Act
  • The National Framework on Advertising for Sports Betting Act sets out a national framework for regulating the advertising of sports betting in Canada. It aims to reduce the risks associated with sports betting by restricting the use of advertising, promoting research and information-sharing, and setting national standards for preventing and treating gambling addiction. The Minister of Canadian Heritage will develop the framework in consultation with relevant parties and prepare a report that includes a strategy for implementing it within one year of the act's enactment. Additionally, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission must review its regulations and provide a report assessing their effectiveness in reducing the incidence of harms resulting from sports betting advertising. The reports must be tabled in each house of Parliament.
