While politicians in the United States fall all over themselves in an attempt to limit sports betting advertising, groups such as the American Gaming Association and the newly formed Coalition for Responsible Sports Betting Advertising have been scrambling to contain the fire.

Meanwhile, over in the United Kingdom, the much-anticipated white paper on gambling was released last week, and interestingly enough, it put the bulk of the onus for responsible advertising at the feet of the operators, not the regulators.

But advertising was just one area the white paper dove into.

Another section, which has gone largely unnoticed in the U.S., focused on placing limits on online casino play.
