Formation of Coalition for Responsible Sports Betting Advertising Announced

19/04/2023

Formation of Coalition for Responsible Sports Betting Advertising Announced Members of the Coalition to include the NFL, MLB, MLS, NASCAR, NBA, WNBA, NHL, NBCUniversal, and FOX Coalition Publishes Six Core Principles of Responsible Sports Betting Advertising NEW YORK, NY, April 19, 2023- The formation of the Coalition for Responsible Sports Betting Advertising, a voluntary association of sports leagues and media entities committed to doing their part to help ensure a responsible approach to sports betting advertising, was announced today.

Consisting of the National Football League, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, NASCAR, National Basketball Association, Women's National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, NBCUniversal, and FOX, the coalition has committed to implement and maintain consumer protection policies consistent with the following six principles:

Sports Betting Should be Marketed Only to Adults of Legal Betting Age

Sports Betting Advertising Should Not Promote Irresponsible or Excessive Gambling or Degrade the Consumer Experience

Sports Betting Advertisements Should Not Be Misleading

Sports Betting Advertisements Should Be In Good Taste

Publishers Should Have Appropriate Internal Reviews of Sports Betting Advertising

Publishers Should Review Consumer Complaints Pertaining to Sports Betting Advertising

As the legalization of sports betting spreads nationwide, we feel it is critical to establish guardrails around how sports betting should be advertised to consumers across the United States. Each member of the coalition feels a responsibility to ensure sports betting advertising is not only targeted to an appropriate audience, but also that the message is thoughtfully crafted and carefully delivered.

Joint statement from the Coalition for Responsible Sports Betting Advertising

Coalition for Responsible Sports Betting Advertising Principles:

Sports Betting Should be Marketed Only to Adults of Legal Betting Age.

The content of sports betting advertising, marketing and promotion should primarily appeal to individuals of legal betting age, and sports betting should never be endorsed or otherwise promoted by any person who is, or appears to be, below such legal age.

Sports betting promotional materials should (i) only appear in media where a significant majority of the audience is reasonably expected to be of legal betting age and (ii) never primarily appeal to children in content or theme.

Sports Betting Advertising Should Not Promote Irresponsible or Excessive Gambling or Degrade the Consumer Experience.

Sports betting advertisements should always contain a clear, prominent responsible gaming message, including information on responsible gambling resources, and never be directed to individuals known by the advertiser to be self-excluded. Gambling advertising, promotion and other integrations that encourage irresponsible gambling or degrade the consumer experience (e.g., by appearing excessively) should also be avoided.

Sports Betting Advertisements Should Not Be Misleading.

Sports betting advertisements should never be false, deceptive or misleading. For example, sports betting advertisements and marketing should not promote unrealistic expectations of financial gain, or suggest that social, financial or personal success is guaranteed by engaging in sports betting. Nor should any such messaging state or imply that a bet is without risk if the customer must incur any loss, or risk the customer's own money, to use or withdraw winnings from such bet.

Sports Betting Advertisements Should Be In Good Taste.

Sports betting advertisements should (i) adhere to contemporary standards of good taste applicable to all commercial messaging, taking into consideration the applicable medium and advertising context and (ii) never undermine public perception of sports or their integrity.

Publishers Should Have Appropriate Internal Reviews of Sports Betting Advertising.

Publishers showing sports betting advertising should (i) provide appropriate training to their relevant employees regarding responsible sports betting advertising policies and (ii) implement internal processes to ensure compliance with such policies. To the extent possible, such processes should include a separate review of advertising and marketing materials by company employees outside the marketing and sponsorship departments.

Publishers Should Review Consumer Complaints Pertaining to Sports Betting Advertising.

Publishers showing sports betting advertising should develop and implement a process to review consumer complaints pertaining to that advertising.

Coalition of Responsible Sports Betting Advertising Quotes

National Football League

David Highhill, General Manager, Sports Betting

We're proud to join these prominent sports industry stakeholders in this important effort. Legalized sports betting offers fans another way to engage with their favorite sports, but just as we must support problem gambling prevention and resourcing, we must also remain mindful of how sports betting is presented and advertised to consumers, and this coalition should greatly aid in that cause.

Major League Baseball

Kenny Gersh, Executive Vice President, Media & Business Development

Forming this coalition with fellow leaders in sports and entertainment is another important step for our industry as legal sports betting continues to grow. While providing new fan engagement opportunities to enjoy our sport in more ways, we have to continue to be mindful and deliberate with how these sports betting options are presented and to whom they're directed. Layering this coalition's work in the advertising arena on top of our efforts to promote responsible gambling and address problem gambling challenges will lead to more thoughtful planning and implementation across the board.
