Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with social media and streaming platforms about preventing gambling promotions from reaching under-18s.

Gambling advertising on social media must adhere to the same standards set for other mediums. Advertising codes require operators to ensure targeting is used responsibly, utilising tools available on platforms to exclude under-18s and other vulnerable groups from exposure wherever possible.

The Government engages with a number of stakeholders, including online platforms, regarding the effectiveness of age restrictions.
