In a bold move, the National Audiovisual Council (CNA) has banned any public figures, from pop idols to football heroes, from appearing in gambling ads. The era of glitzy endorsements in Romanian betting may be coming to an abrupt end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1-768x261.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision follows years of growing discomfort. Critics have accused regulators of letting gambling \u201cborrow credibility\u201d from familiar faces, normalizing addictive behavior for a generation raised on TikTok and football jerseys. Mental health professionals say it\u2019s not just marketing \u2014 it\u2019s manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the curtain is falling. Under the new rules, any promotional material that uses celebrity likeness or voice \u2014 even indirectly \u2014 is off-limits. The CNA claims this is about protecting vulnerable groups, particularly youth, from associating gambling with status or success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/europe\/romania-rolls-the-dice-on-strict-gambling-reforms-to-protect-players\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Romania rolls the dice on strict gambling reforms to protect players<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry insiders are rattled.
