This advisory calls for stringent action against any endorsements of these activities, particularly those camouflaged as gaming. The CCPA has also issued a caution to celebrities and influencers, warning them of the consequences of promoting gambling ventures. This move comes amidst increasing instances of direct and surrogate advertisements and endorsements related to betting and gambling.
