The NFL is keeping a lid on ads, having imposed a limit of six gambling ads a game, available only to league-approved companies.</p>\n<p>Still, some viewers find it too much. Michael J. Lewis, a freelance writer in New York who often watches sports on TV, said sports-betting messaging is incessant, even though&nbsp;mobile betting isn’t operating in New York.

Ads include offers like “risk-free” bets and free money for new accounts. Before the current NFL season began, during the first half of the year, rivals DraftKings and FanDuel were already using a large chunk of revenue to promote their brands. DraftKings reported revenue of nearly $620 million for the first six months of 2021 and spent about two-thirds of that on sales and marketing in that period.</p>\n<p>FanDuel declined to comment. Caesars didn’t respond to a request for comment. All of these companies have programs designed to promote responsible gambling. In a statement, DraftKings said it runs commercials that “not only promote our product and offers but also highlight responsible gaming messaging that reminds customers of the resources they have to play safely.”</p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the NFL unveiled a new problem-gambling campaign: “Stick to your Game Plan. Always Bet Responsibly.” It includes a $6.2 million partnership with the National Council on Problem Gambling for upgrades to a national helpline and grants to community groups.</p>\n<p>“This is something everybody in the sports-betting ecosystem—sports properties, teams, sportsbooks, media companies and regulators—we all need to get this right from the start,” said Chris Halpin, the NFL’s chief strategy and growth officer.</p>\n<p>Some sports-betting executives also argue the advertising is seasonal, along with sports, and predict that the commercial spree will fade as the market matures.</p>\n<p>Still, “the fears, the concerns that are raised by those who are opposed to gaming or are upset with the saturation or the content [of ads], should not be underestimated,” New Jersey’s Mr. Rebuck said.</p>\n<p>Online sports betting is operating in at least 17 states and the District of Columbia, with additional states expected to join. The fractured system makes it difficult to impose national standards, said Keith Whyte, executive director of National Council on Problem Gambling. The nonprofit group advocates for gambling-addiction resources.</p>\n<p>The National Problem Gambling helpline is receiving an average of more than 22,500 calls a month this year, up from a monthly average of about 14,800 last year, Mr. Whyte said, which doesn’t include calls to individual state helplines.</p>\n<p>Executives and regulators look to the U.K. as a cautionary tale. The government there is reviewing gambling regulations in response to a surge of online betting, including possible curbs on advertising. Earlier this year, a YouGov poll there found that two-thirds of adults supported a total ban on gambling ads, while three-quarters of adults backed a ban on TV and radio gambling ads before 9 p.m.</p>\n<p>“I think the industry [in the U.K.] underestimated the importance of managing sentiment and getting ahead of adverse political momentum,” said BetMGM Chief Executive Adam Greenblatt, who previously worked in the U.K.</p>\n<p>“We are seeking to be thoughtful and deliberate in how we start doing new things and how we spend money on new things,” Mr. Greenblatt said.</p>\n<p>The frenzy in the U.S. echoes back to 2015, when DraftKings and FanDuel flooded the airwaves with fantasy sports ads, which drew consumer complaints and scrutiny by state attorneys general. Both companies cut back their ad spending. “It tipped over an invisible line,” then-FanDuel Chief Executive Nigel Eccles said in 2016. “When people saw the ad the 35th time, they were like, ‘We get it.’ ”</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Gambling Ads Become the New Normal for American Sports</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nGambling Ads Become the New Normal for American Sports\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-25 07:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.wsj.com/articles/gambling-ads-become-the-new-normal-for-american-sports-11635084000?mod=hp_lista_pos4><strong>The Wall Street Journal</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Some regulators and industry watchdogs express concern, while sports-betting companies say advertising is done responsibly\nThe National Football League season that started in September was a kickoff ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/gambling-ads-become-the-new-normal-for-american-sports-11635084000?mod=hp_lista_pos4\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"CZR":"凯撒娱乐","DKNG":"DraftKings Inc."},"source_url":"https://www.wsj.com/articles/gambling-ads-become-the-new-normal-for-american-sports-11635084000?mod=hp_lista_pos4","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1181887094","content_text":"Some regulators and industry watchdogs express concern, while sports-betting companies say advertising is done responsibly\nThe National Football League season that started in September was a kickoff for sports-betting companies to increase ads.\nThe gambling industry’s deluge of sports-betting ads and free-money offers on television, radio and online, is beginning to concern regulators.\nOnline gambling operators, such as DraftKings Inc. and FanDuel Group, are spending hundreds of millions of dollars, and large shares of their revenues, on marketing,putting sports wagering in front of the American consumer.
