Bill No. 403 would impose a near-total ban on gambling advertising once signed into law, covering television, radio, print, social media, and sports sponsorship, and expressly prohibiting influencer-driven promotion. This is a sweeping restriction relative to the advertising latitude operators currently have, and it is pending presidential signature rather than yet in force. The durability of the eventual restriction is mixed: the enabling prohibition would be statutory and durable, while implementing detail on enforcement mechanics would likely arrive as more fragile secondary guidance. Confidence in the provision's substance is probable, based on secondary press and industry reporting rather than confirmed statutory text.
