So this is sort of a gotcha question, but I don't mean it that way.

Is it advertising when the announcer for a game talks about gambling? There's statements that obviously would be advertising, so the interesting thing is where and how to draw the line.

Not that hard at all. Is the message from the announcer paid for directly or is the casino a sponsor? Its an ad.

If an announcer just wants to talk about gambling, fine, I guess, but I really doubt that there are any announcers that would do much of that.

I mean, are they being compensated for saying so? The sports gambling industry did not invent advertising; there are already clear laws that govern this.
