MSIFN sending messages to Gretzky, Matthews and McDavid about … – durhamradionews.com

The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation (MSIFN) are calling on some famous hockey stars to stop advertising online gambling.

They addressed letters to Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid and Wayne Gretzky saying gambling addiction is a problem in the province.

More than a year after iGamings launch, our community has watched gambling revenue increase in the province, while gaming addiction has increased exponentially among the people of our province and beyond, the letters read. Unfortunately, we still havent seen the worst of it, and we are calling upon advertisers to limit the use and number of promotions for iGaming. This forms part of the responsible gaming agenda that was once so adhered to by the province and yet fell by the wayside.

The MSIFN says its a joy watching Matthews and McDavid and was a joy watching Gretzky.

The reality is with your level ofsocial influence comes social responsibility we are profoundly concerned as you advertise for iGaming.

All three letters are similar and can be found on the MSIFN Twitter page.
