> you are self-imposing a restriction that will give other nations an economic advantage and jeopardizing long-term sovereignty.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

What is your evidence that there is any economic advantage at all to have unregulated advertising?

I'm fairly sure advertising is regulated in all sovereign states. And I am also quite certain that the jurisdictions in which gambling advertisement is illegal fare better economically than those in which it is illegal. It only makes sense: gambling is not productive, the less of it you have the better your population spend their money on productive things, the more advertising you have the more people spend on gambling (otherwise what is the point of advertising?), if you forbid gamling advertising there will be less gambling advertising (if not, what is your complaint even?).

Nothing about this statement of yours makes sense.
