Same in the UK! When the pandemic started companies stopped advertising on TV because they weren't doing business anymore, except for the bookies (gambling brokers) so almost every ad was for them. And because people are on doors and probably bored/miserable I bet they did much more business than normal.

I don't think we have the warnings you're talking about here, except for sone text on the screen that says something like "gamble smart" lol
