All right, finally, let's get to this quick.
00:01
We got about a minute to go.
00:03
Athletes in Canada, Wayne Gretzky, Conor McDavid,
00:06
no longer can be part of the sports betting ads.
00:10
Why did this go into effect?
00:11
And when does it go into effect?
00:14
- Well, it went into effect on February 28th.
00:16
So it is now effective.
00:17
The rules came out last August.
00:19
And look, everybody is worried about the influence
00:21
that celebrities, athletes, what have you,
00:24
will have on bettors,
00:25
especially on children who are not yet betting.
00:29
You see kids saying, "Yo, I would bet at this sports book.
00:31
"I would bet at that sports book."
00:32
Because they have this guy or that guy.
00:35
Now, what's interesting is there is technically a carve-out
00:38
that will still let these athletes and celebrities
00:40
appear in sports book ads,
00:43
but it's only if those ads are slanted
00:45
toward responsible gaming.
00:47
So you could still have a Conor McDavid saying,
00:49
"Hey, bet responsibly on TV in Ontario."
00:51
And that's totally fine.
00:53
What you can't do is say, "Hey, come and bet with us."
00:56
So it's a fine line, but it is a line.
00:59
And hopefully they start to see
01:01
that that is improving responsible gambling in Ontario.
