加拿大联邦文化遗产委员会计划对S-211法案进行投票表决，该法案已通过参议院，旨在规范全国体育广播、社交媒体和在线视频游戏中的赌博广告1。这一举措应对了日益加重的赌博相关危害问题1。
研究证实了赌博广告的广泛传播程度。CBC与布里斯托大学的分析显示，在7场NHL季后赛转播中，观众面临3000条赌博信息，其中95%不含危害减轻或年龄限制信息，赌博广告或标志平均每分钟出现2-3次1。法案赞助者、滑铁卢议员Bardish Chagger指出："人们受到非常有害的影响。他们失去生计、失去家园、失去储蓄，失去生命"1。参议员Marty Deacon补充道："这些广告遍布全国各地，特别是在由博彩公司赞助的全国转播中"1。
国际上已有先例。比利时、荷兰、英国、法国和德国已对赌博广告实施晚9点后的时间限制1。在加拿大国内，自安大略省在2022年允许私人在线赌场和体育博彩以来，该省赌博成瘾率上升、自杀案例增加三倍1。
然而该法案面临地方政府的反对1。安大略省司法部长Doug Downey认为该省已建立全面的监管框架，不应由联邦干预1。加拿大博彩协会也反对该计划，表示在线赌博平台应向有管制的运营商推广消费者1。
Canada's federal Parliament is advancing legislation to restrict gambling advertisements across the country, driven by mounting evidence of the practice's harmful effects.1 The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage is set to vote on Bill S-211, which has already passed the Senate and seeks to regulate gambling advertising in national sports broadcasts, social media, and online video platforms.1
A joint analysis by the CBC and the University of Bristol reveals the scope of gambling marketing exposure during sports broadcasts. Across seven NHL playoff games, viewers encountered approximately 3,000 gambling messages, with 95% lacking any harm reduction information or age restriction warnings.1 The advertisements or logos appeared on screen two to three times per minute.1 Bardish Chagger, the Waterloo MP sponsoring the bill, emphasized the personal toll of problem gambling: "People are being profoundly harmed. They're losing their livelihoods, losing their homes, losing their savings, losing their lives."1 Senator Marty Deacon added that "these advertisements are everywhere across the country, particularly in nationally broadcast content sponsored by gambling companies."1
The proposed restrictions align with international precedent—Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany have all implemented post-9 p.m. time limits on gambling advertisements.1 Ontario's experience provides a cautionary example: after the province permitted private online casinos and sports betting in 2022, gambling addiction rates rose and suicide cases tripled.1 However, the proposal faces resistance from provincial authorities. Ontario's Attorney General Doug Downey argued that the province has already established a comprehensive regulatory framework and should not be subject to federal intervention.1 The Canadian Gaming Association has also opposed the plan, stating that online gambling platforms should be directed toward promoting consumers to regulated operators.1
