Protect children from ‘cartoon-style’ Facebook gambling app, urges TD

Children must be protected from a new Facebook app which uses cartoon graphics and allows people to gamble with real money, a Fine Gael TD has warned.

Wicklow TD, Simon Harris, has written to the Advertising Standards Authority to enquire about what regulations would be put in place if the Bingo Friendzy App was made available in Ireland.

It was launched for users in Britain and the North this week and is expected to soon make its way to the Republic.
