AA is in place for alcoholics! GA is in place for gamblers. Both are big social issues which not only effects the individual but also the entire family. It s like a ripple in a pond. Everybody is effected. Also friends and neighbours as they step up to help. The financial and emotional toll is unable to be calculated. And yet here we have gambling advertisements all day, especially during the time children watch television in the afternoon. We are literally bombarded with them! Advertisements that encourage online gambling. Even though there are supposed regulations in place? Not on.
