Lithuania overwhelmingly passes ban on gambling advertising
Gambling advertising is set to be banned in Lithuania.
A vote took place in the Lithuanian Parliament, which looked into the restriction of gambling advertising in the country. The amendments put forward were passed with 73 votes in favor and one abstention.
With this, gambling advertising will be banned in the country from next July, with exceptions in place for sports competitions and events, and sports sponsorships and broadcast of sports competitions, which have a transitional period until 1 January 2028.
A proposal has been backed which includes a transitional period until the end of 2027, allowing up to three sports betting ads of under 15 seconds each per hour on TV, radio and online between the hours of 6am and 6pm, which goes to up to two per hour between 6pm and midnight.
