    1. Yes but this is relating to the big sports betting apps that aren’t related to Ontario revenue

  1. I don’t understand why we are advertising gambling at all. Or advertising the LCBO. If these things are so “bad” that only the government can be trusted to handle them (ha!!), then why advertise???

  2. The biggest mind control devices in human history.
    They’re worried about the Gambling…..πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ‘πŸ»

  3. Gambling is like cocaine, you just can never get enough. It destroys lives, its like saying
    ” i have way too much money and i don’t know what else to do with it all” Do yourself a favour, just know, the house always wins, not you. 0_o

  5. Ever heard of “personal responsibility” ?? Be the stronger person and IGNORE gambling ads. simple!

  6. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something—your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” —Steve Jobs
