Why did the Centre issue warnings to celebrities and media regarding betting and gambling promotions

The Centre cautioned celebrities and media against endorsing betting and gambling activities.
  • To protect the interests of the public, especially the youth, by discouraging the glamorization of betting and gambling through celebrity endorsements.
  • To prevent the normalization of betting and gambling activities, which can lead to addiction and financial ruin for vulnerable individuals.
  • To uphold ethical standards and social responsibility in advertising practices, particularly in an industry with potential negative impacts on society.
  • To reduce the influence of celebrities and media in promoting activities that may have adverse effects on individuals and communities.
  • To promote a more balanced and responsible approach to entertainment and endorsements in the public domain.
