17 Jun 2026Digital gambling advertising is now pervasive and hard to escapeUniversity of BristolConcern
[Speaker: Dr Raffaello Rossi] The gambling industry now spends around £2 billion on gambling advertising each year. What has changed over the last couple of years is that they have created this very integral and complicated ecosystem of gambling advertising across digital, sports, media, everywhere. It makes it very pervasive and hard—almost impossible—to escape for both children and adults. Three things have particularly changed since the last inquiry. The first one is digital. The gambling industry is now mostly investing in digital marketing—on social media, integrated in gaming, loot boxes and streaming platforms.

About this committee

The Liaison Committee of the House of Lords coordinates the work of all Lords select committees and advises the House on committee business. The committee operates within the House of Lords and comprises the chairs of the main select committees, meeting to discuss strategy and resource allocation. It does not conduct formal inquiries itself but rather oversees the committee structure and recommends priorities to the House. The committee ensures effective scrutiny across multiple policy areas by managing how Lords committees operate and coordinate their activities. Without current session data available, specific recent focus areas cannot be identified at this time. The committee remains responsible for enhancing the efficiency and impact of Lords select committee work across Parliament.
