While watching TV with my kid, I've watched various advertisements of gambling nature (let's say for example, Rummy123, RummyCircle, A23 Rummy, etc.)
These are all specifically Indian ads, but I'm sure you may have seen various gambling advertisements, some banners at boundaries when cricket is ongoing, even in any other sport. How would a kid ignore those things, they might just come and ask you about what is it. Till when can we lie to them? Don't you think that the frequency of such ads must be less in order to let the kids not get trapped into gambling and don't do it at such a small age?

Gambling ads are not regulated in my country, you can see gambling sites ads on YouTube, social media and local TV channels. This is not good for the kids but there is nothing that people that have no say in the country can do about it and most people that wish gambling ads to be regulated fall into that category.

Tell your kids the truth. Let them know how gambling can dangerous, especially for kids but everyone though. Use life occurrences of people that gambling affected negatively as examples. Children do listen.

Those gambling sites are usually sponsors of such sporting activities, that why they are aired on Tv alongside some sports. There's no point lieing to your kids about it mate. As long as you show them a good example and don't gamble if front if them. They won't mind.

 I think parents makes one mistake all the time and that is, when your child ask you something that you know they shouldn't be aware of, just give them an idea of what it is, so they can chill on that issues. If you let them go out on thier own to know what it is, they will probably learn it the wrong way and try at all means to know how it works. So I will suggest you stop lieing and tell them the truth about the adverts.

I have seen a couple of advertisment related to gambling on TV. Those are not common in public programs or channels, but rather on those channels which are offered in cable packages.

I do not have kids, by the way, so I cannot talk from experience. But if I had and they saw those ads, I would make clear to them that they are seeing things which are supposed to be consumed by adults only.

I personally prefer to say the truth if the children are old enough to understand it, rather than lying to them. Though, I would not criticize parents for using "white lies", to avoid their children to go a long a bad path.

I have came across such in my country although what I did was to lock some channels I feels isn't for my child especially my little knees whom I think isn't up to age to watch those channels.
That is the best way, its good to those people who Mount dishes and satellites are their use than a central one that is being controlled by the power house or control general by ICTs. Maybe I think you can also control yours to keep those channels out of the reach of kids as well this is only applicable if you have your special dish at home.

Unfortunately,  the situation in my country is the same... the adds is littered all over the television and actively running in many programs even kids program. I don't know if this is patt of the dictates of democracy and capitalism but doing business at the detriment of our children is not a great idea. The government and regulators literally look the other way while the media do what they want. Just like you have stated, we are left with the choice of protecting our kids by ourselves.

The frustrating thing about this is that kids learn faster than adults. As soon as the ads are allowed to run one or two times, they capture it and it stick to their brain. It is truly our duty to protect our children

Gambling ads have been banned in my country, but it is possible to see good number of gambling advertisements running in between the matches and on the boundary through digital advertisement boards. The latest announcement on the ban of advertising on gambling and gaming platform have been made a month back. However there is relaxation that advertisements can be broadcast with request to the authority, holding prior written permission. Now the frequency of gambling advertisements have decreased, but it is possible to see ads.

Earlier we used to see ads popping whenever we go through YouTube and other social media platforms. Now this have decreased much. Things were really uncontrollable during the days of covid-19, because we can't move anywhere. Whatever application we use there we'll get to see something related to gambling. As in the opening thread more number of Rummy and related platforms emerged. Further when the ban imposed, these platforms started to move towards small games and Ludo is one amongst that had turned very popular.

while I agree that gambling ads should be much less or should be banned if it is shown on TV, but, why lie if they ask what it is? you can just tell your kid the truth and if they ask further explain what it is and the dangers that come with it. kids sometimes are just curious, they are growing and want to know things that they see on the TV and around them, just because they ask what it is does not mean they will want to try it out.  

Yes, you are right about that. I am against gambling advertisements on television because they want to drag people who are not involved in gambling into a quagmire by offering attractive offers to people who are not involved in gambling. We can say that even some of the youngest young people start gambling in this way. Especially this of course is more present on billboards during football matches. Someone should take a hand because young children also watch such sports and this is a bad example for them.

I haven't seen one in local programming or in national television. Though I can see a lot of gambling-related ads on social media sites, especially those that are promoted by influencers and other social figures. This, IMO, is a lot more dangerous as more and more youths are using social media as days pass. Some of them are being exposed to social media at a very early stage in their lives and that wouldn't help them develop at all. They can see all types of gambling adverts in there that are being inserted in contents very easily.

No gambling ads I've seen but because that most of the people are into the internet, this isn't going to be regulated.
Going back to television, the sponsor banners from most matches aren't regulated as well and from those games, they're visible. So if I am watching some basketball games or any sports as long as there are these sponsors, they're very visible in the eyes of the child. But if it's just the gambling ads, thank goodness that I haven't seen one because for sure a lot of parents will be triggered by that. Because with what's happening in social media, there are plenty of them and parents can't stop ignoring the proliferation of these.

Advertisement of a product or service is primarily aimed at attracting new customers. Advertisements featuring gambling sites aren’t no different as they simply aim to attract and retain new and willing customers.
If your kid is curious about gambling cause of an advertisement in TV, we should come clean about gambling and not lie. Be open and honest about everything as kids would definitely find out for themselves  what they’re curious about.

You don’t see hard drugs being advertised on TV yet they’re kids also addicted to drugs. Proper upbringing as well as regular and close communication could help a kid overcome a lot of vices.

Well, yes there are gambling advertisements in my are but only a few and only those which are registered to the government; lotteries. But with social media platforms they’re all over the web and not to mention that kids are now also surfacing social media. What can we do as parents? Atleast be on their side if possible or teach them to always ask for your opinion when there’s something unfamiliar caught their attention. It’ll be starting with us and ‘coz governments won’t simply remove them from public’s access because those which are being advertised are paying them and are regulated in the first place. You may also avail adblocker or request to your cable provider to remove chanels with such content.

gambling is allowed in my country, the laws are very favorable to gambling in my country and the government of my country even encourages more gambling companies to come to my country. There are always advertisements for gambling websites on TV and newspapers and announcements of lottery winners are always on TV and precisely at night. but when advertisements about gambling are shown, it says prohibited for minors and it is up to each mother and father to explain to children that they should not play what they are seeing on TV, this is no different from cases in which parents They are watching TV and there is advertising for a film that involves violence and sex and the parents immediately explain to the child that they cannot do that

Another example is that there are parents who give cell phones to children aged 2 to 3 years old and above so they can watch Mikey and other animes on YouTube, these parents constantly control what the children watch, so in my opinion there is nothing wrong with having advertising gambling games on TV, parents must educate their children well so that they do not create an account at a casino while they are minors. Also, for someone to play at the casino they need money, so a child of 9 or 10 years of age cannot have money to go and play at an online casino, all it takes is for the father not to give him his debit card and not to give him cryptocurrencies that the child does not You will have money to play. There are many ways to prevent children from playing at online casinos because they are underage

If they somehow take the initiative about gambling due to the commercials on TV, then you might as well have a serious conversation with them. Avoiding the topic could still work, but there's nothing wrong with talking about it this early when some kids pick up the situation and become more curious the more you try to push them away.

While I agree with what you said about the need for gambling ads to appear less frequently, there's not much we can do aside from looking for another solution because losing viewers and receiving complaints won't stop them from broadcasting gambling ads.

I don't remember watching gambling ads on TV when I was a kid. I couldn't tell if it's different now since I rarely watch nowadays. I think television networks are much more regulated so gambling ads are filtered better compared to social media.

If we're talking about sponsorship banners on some sporting events then I think that's something TV networks can't handle because it's out of their contract. That's more likely an agreement between the sporting organization and the gambling promoter.

It's slowly happening in major sports organization. The Premier League has already ordered clubs to drop gambling sponsors in their shirts. Will that be enough to stop kids from getting exposed? I don't think so.

Advertisements on televisions are very annoying and with commercial operations of television, communication companies, it is financial benefit source for them. They can ignore risk of exposure on kids to add those advertisements on television channels. However if gambling is allowed in your nation, they do not do anything wrong and illegally but as parents, you must choose channels without those advertisements or as least as possible for your kids to watch.

It is hard and requires your deep care for your kids who are very young and have yet educated and are matured enough to control their activities. I believe it is best to keep them away from gambling before they are no longer teenager and even a little bit older too.

I have seen multiple ones but it's not that bad compared to what you are seeing in social media that asks you to play mostly on TV you've just seen their logo and very short intro on their platform and they're even not showing gambling activities because they are just partnering with the events because gambling is not allowed to be shown on TV here in our country.
 
With watching via YouTube I always use the kids account if they are watching or if not they tend to not watch TV and have seen some of those ads. We just tell them not to do it as it is a bad thing, but mostly they will ask more questions as they haven't noticed the ads.

I'm not really getting used to TV ads like that on gambling, but most often it was seen on social media platform like Facebook and google play store. My kids and I didn't watch public television anymore, we're more exposed with social media like Facebook, youtube and google. It's kinda disturbing ads when you watch your favorite streaming videos, then suddenly their pop ups programs will appear and influencing through the winning platforms they had. I think that's not an interesting idea about advertisement, since gambling couldn't bring good future to everyone of us, but rather negative effects especially for the kids.

In my country, we have regulation board which manages and examines every tv shows and movies if it is suitable for its audiences. I don't think it's a good idea to show gambling advertisements on tv since kids might see it. And as we all know, at that kind of age, they tend to be very curious and showing them things about gambling might affect them. It's not good if kids were exposed in gambling in such a very young age for they still don't have the capacity to understand such things.

So, it's better if kids still have supervision with their parents or adults and so by any chance they saw gambling advertisements and they asked about it, someone can explain and tell them that it is still not appropriate for their age. I think there should be laws and policy about that, gambling advertisements should only be posted in appropriate avenues and tv is not one of them.

Currently, sports betting advertisements are even on the uniforms of teams and athletes, unfortunately this is something that cannot be returned.
What should you respond to your child? That sports betting is something for adults, that it is highly addictive and is harmful to us if used abusively, in the same way that you should make your children aware of the use of alcohol and cigarettes, which is also something that is permitted, however with high risk for people who use it indiscriminately.

There is no other way to deal with this, we need to teach our children that this is something "normal" and make them aware of the risks and conscious use only after they reach an age of maturity for this.

No, do not lie to kids. Always tell them the truth or don't tell them at all.

The frequency of gambling ads should be reduced not because of kids alone but for the sake of everyone else who make be struggling with quitting and gambling and then get triggered by it. Parents can protect their kids by downloading some sort of software to block ads and gambling websites if it is possible.

In my country gambling and casino have not been legalized by the government parliament so no advertisement of gambling and casino sites are given on government television channels. However, gambling and casino sites are advertised on television channels of private companies, various social media, YouTube channels, Facebook, various gaming sites. Although gambling and casinos are not officially legalized in my country, various gambling and casino establishments have been established in different parts of my country in violation of government laws. Moreover, the popularity of new online gambling and casino sites is constantly increasing in my country, which we are constantly advertising on various social media and YouTube and private television channels.

We have gambling ads on TV. We see gambling ads while watching live streams. We also see gambling ads watching videos on YouTube. There are gambling ads scattered all over social media. There are even SMS and email messages promoting gambling sites. And then we're seeing gambling platforms printed on the uniforms of athletes. Even usernames of eSports players have gambling sites attached to them.

So, it's really very hard to insulate our kids from all kinds of gambling promotions. But I don't think we have to lie to them. We need to speak the truth and educate them about gambling, perhaps that it's not for them, or that it's not for people who don't have so much money lying idly around. And, of course, don't show them that you're gambling.

Gambling ads don't just come up on TV here in my country, I mean obvious gambling ads. And depending on the the channel your are watching, assuming you are watching one of the spots channel then such ads will come up. I have seen a couple of football betting sites ads during commercials whenever am watching any football match. Besides this channel, you don't see them on other channels that are not directly related to such.
But online is a different story entirely. There are no regulations so you see different gambling ads online.

Yes, it's very prevalent now a days, not just on TV though, it's on mobile phones, on the internet. And we all know that in this age, every kid in the world has access t to least one if all.


It's very different to answer, because we are not on our kids 24x7 and as much as we want to see what they are watching or seeing in those gadgets, sooner or later they will have to encounter it and maybe some of them are curious about it. So I guess that best thing to do as parent is just somewhat be on the lookout, maybe from time to time check their gadgets for something unusual. If they ask about it, then explain to them that they shouldn't be involving themselves at the young age about gambling. So it's about our responsibility as a parent or guardian to our kids and children.

My country has a pretty strict control of ads on TV so the only gambling ads I've seen on TV is probably the Lottery results or during any big Pacquiao fights. Although I don't like the TV regulatory board in my country because of how much they censor and cut their shows to accomodate more advertisement to the point that airtime for ads are larger than actual shows and their morality so backwards, I still agree that gambling ads shouldn't be a thing because you can't filter out your audience, there will definitely be kids that's going to see them and we can all agree that it's not the time for them to learn about it.

I think there is nothing we can do apart from accompanying our children when they are watching sports matches on television, because the gambling sites provide their funds for events in these sports, so that the events can continue so it is almost impossible for us to see that the advertisements do not appear at sporting events, and I witnessed this very massive.
In my country, usually advertisements that into the adult category, such as cigarettes and gambling which should also be included, will be broadcast starting at 10 pm, but for sports broadcasts from abroad, of course these advertisements will still appear, especially for those of us who watch them not on local television but cable television, so there is almost nothing to do because many sporting events are sponsored by gambling sites.

Gambling ads are pretty common here but they do have some restrictions. One of them being that they should not be shown between shows/cartoons that have been made for kids. Most often they are shown during sports events and everything related to sports because a large % of the funding for those events is coming from the gambling companies.
If done responsibly, i think the gambling ads/sponsorships are a necessary "evile" because without them, a lot of the events would literally never happen.

The most popular sport in my country is football and it is viewed by the entire population age notwithstanding. It is normal to see several gambling advertisements, before, during, and after these soccer games. Most of the major sponsors of these games are gambling firms because they are the once that can afford it. Even most football them are bankrolled by different casinos so it is normal to see the ads on their jerseys. Large billboards and smaller ones are common in the streets of my country without any form of restrictions. Gambling advertisement is not regulated in my country but they are mandated to add the 18+ sign which shows that anyone below eighteen years is not qualified to gamble.  

You don't have to lie to kids about what they can easily get the right answers from friends and the internet. Your responsibility as an adult is to tell them the truth about gambling and inform them about the risks involved.  They should also know that they cannot gamble until they get to the statutory age. But it would be great if the government control these adverts so that they would not give rise to underage gambling and addiction

The gambling ads should not be banned or disallowed. The TV just needs to control the time to broadcast it. In my country, I recall that adult advertisements were predominantly broadcasted around midnight when all the children had already gone to sleep. It's very effective in preventing our child from watching it yet tv was not also losing its frequency to be broadcasted.

I have never seen gambling advertisements on television because the government prohibits advertisers from using the media to promote their companies. And if kids watch it, they will ask adults about the game and how to play it. And after getting more information, they may try playing it with their friends.

We don't need to lie to them and provide sufficient explanation that it is gambling. I agree that gambling advertisements like this should be reduced and not be shown during hours when children are still active. Maybe it doesn't need to be banned but reduced so children don't see it too often or even see the advertisements.

I've seen gambling ads on TV, YouTube and other platforms. Often they can be skipped after 5-12 second of watching (does not work with TV). So far my kid does not pay much attention to it, does not focus much on the context. While gambling ads are not frequent during tv breaks (from 5 ads during break, maybe 1 would be gambling related), on the internet, ads must be regulated. There are platforms huge cartoon libraries and before cartoon starts, kids watch unskippable war and violence related ads. Watching bombs, explosions, military technics and blood before watching Bambi is wrong.

Well, adult advertisements were shown during nights because of its context, but gambling ads do not contain any vulgar content which is why it is allowed to be displayed on the TV at any time (even during the daily soap timings when our wives take the children with them and watch that shit). I don't say that they should ban it, but such ads should be limited. Like, whenever a show or even sports game gets a pause for the ads to run, I've seen gambling ads showing up 99% of the time. So that's why I think that they should lower the number of times it is shown during the day.

You don't really need to lie to your kids about it if they aren't too young to not understand anything and ask you about it, you can simply tell them that it's something where people make bets and they lose money and that is why it's not a good thing. You can find a different way to tell them so that they can have a negative perception about gambling at that age which will prevent them from getting involved with gambling until they reach a certain age in their lives.

Children have clear and empty minds, and it's our responsibility to fill those empty blocks with useful and correct information that can be good for them in the long run instead of being confused and blaming the world or things for spoiling our children. Our upbringing plays a great role in this situation.

This is where parenting would kick in.  :-*

On the time that they would really be making out some questions then it would really be just that right that you should really be needing for them to know on what it is.
This is where you would really be trying out to explain and telling things which gambling is really that bad or must be avoided. We know that in todays generation which our children is really that
exposed to those kind of advertisement on which it would really be that totally resulting into those kind of encounter and on the time that you arent around?
For sure those curiosity would kick in.

This is why it would really be just that better that you should really be that telling them while early so that on the time that they would encounter it in next time then
they would really be remembering on what you have said about it and they would be that acting accordingly with it.

Well, as a parent, you may only explain the kid about what it is and why it should not be done by them (at least at this age because it's not legal for them). However, we can't help out much because the ads will still run and we can't even block (or hide) it, such option should be there (but as it's TV, the master idiot box, nothing can be done because the ads are the backbone of these daily soaps, sports and whatever is shown on TV). 

In your country the gambling was not regulated in the proper way,it may be the reason for the gambling advertising on the Television.If you are not satisfy with his ads,you can report same to the concern ministry.So they will help to short this in the shorter period of time,by the television adverting.Many innocent people will try this game for atleast once.If they use the 10$ for the fist time of the game.Kindly make the rough figure of 10$ with 5 million of people.It’s around the value of 50 million dollars to that website.This website was seems fishy,Rummycircle.Then the Rummy123 and A23 Rummy,for this gambler from India can try crypto based casino.

You can't lie to them forever, sooner or later they will realize that those ads are related to gambling and they'll conduct their own research to find out. I think the best way is to make sure that you don't watch channels that shows these types of ads when your children are present.

For example, just as you would avoid watching +18 channels on TV when your kids are around you should do the same with channels that advertise gambling regularly.

Gambling advertisements also exist even in kids show in Youtube. They appear without our control and most of them are indian ads. Honestly, we can't stop these ads but what we can do is just to remind our kids about the risks of gambling if they have the enough understanding to adapt our explanation. It is our responsibility to guide them and monitor their online activities. I have enlighten my kids about these gambling ads and they're just ignoring and skipping them from time to time.

Well that would be very effective in a country like mine because the rate at which gambling and gambling sites are being advertised is just too much and this is totally causing this particular effect that you are talking that is influencing the mind of children to gamble at a very tender age. In my country gambling is the like a daily work or job for the common man Because of the ratio of hardship and struggle and everyone is just hoping that they would get that one lucky chance to escape from their struggles in lifem

If there are existing gambling ads through the national television, I think that they really need to set frequency or set a time when they will allow to show that as a commercial.

But these commercials or ads chooses the right time slot when they want to show because that's their target market are active for that time.

If the government that allows this and it's not being tackled by people concerning the impact of it to the kids and teenagers. Setting time like near midnight or midnight to show it publicly is the right time for it if they can't disable it.

Man, I haven't heard of TV in a long while. They're rather different from internet ads since afaik, ads in your browser are catered to what you mostly browse yourself through some magic that google does idk really how, but yea that's usually how I see it, while on TV, ads should be regulated depending on the channel you usually watch. Now if a channel was littered with gambling adverts, I reckon the channel itself is either deeply involved with sports or gambling.

Honestly if the issue was about gambling, just explain it to them, maybe even guide them if they wanted to. If they get a deep interest, beat the shitout of them (IN GAMBLING) even if you have to cheat just so that they know they'd always lose no matter what. A lot better than them doing it on their own without you knowing anything.

in my country, gambling is no longer allowed.  So, we never see gambling advertisements on TV. However, on the internet, there are lots of gambling advertisements, even several influencers and artists in my country are also part of gambling advertisement promotions on social media. be it on a YouTube channel or IG network.  but whatever it is, whether on TV or the Internet, it's all the same. after all, advertising can be everywhere. Moreover, now we are more used to the internet than TV.

Well, the point is, if you are a parent, father or mother. Your job is not to lie to them, just explain the necessary parts according to their understanding at their age. I have a son, he is very active with his smartphone. Even though I have limited the access allowed, it is not impossible that they don't know about gaming. The games vary, even as we discuss gambling games. advertising, and all that. gradually, they will figure it out as they grow.
And as I said at the beginning, if you can't stop the circulation of advertisements on TV, banners, and the like. There's not much you can do, because they also pay for advertising services plus tax. So, we can only apply the best education to them. with a good approach, and provide understanding according to the child's age.

In my country, gambling activities are strictly prohibited so there are no gambling advertisements circulating on TV channels, but on social media, with all the existing limitations, the government in my country cannot completely prohibit advertisements circulating on social media. And for now we all need to know that it seems like social media is more popular than TV channels, and those who join social media are not only people who are mature enough both physically and mentally, but almost everyone who joins social media, including children. Many underage children also join social media. So this is where direct supervision and special assistance from parents is needed for children. If possible, don't give smartphones to children until they are old enough because currently illegal gambling admins don't only make offers via social media, but via cell phones and short messages, I often encounter this.
However, through telephone lines and even short messages, I often encounter this.

Unfortunately yes, and even if we have the regulation when it comes to this, it looks like they still allowing it and the minor who are watching it will suddenly get an idea about it and for me its not a good one. We should limit the exposure of our Children to online and continue guiding them and if they asked the question better to explain it well to them on why they should not watching that kind of ads because of its risk. The regulation should be more strict on monitoring such ads, because its not safe at all.

I live in a country where the government takes gambling addiction seriously, so not even for licensed casinos would you ever see advertisements for gambling and whatever. It's just flat out disallowed.

I think this is good cause for one, not a lot of people watches TV anymore, and the fact alone that kids could see it is a cause for concern already, no matter how many people the kids are with (Phones are so accessible now that even kids who haven't gone to puberty gained access to phones and the social media which is another issue for another topic but whatever). So to cut the middleman and solve the problem right where it hurts the most, just flat out banning casinos from getting advertised on local television is as good a plan as any, at least in my government's logic.

Here in my country, I don't see any ads about gambling probably because gambling creates a negative impact on most of our societies here. So I don't worry things like that. But a lot of gambling ads have been flooding all over the internet that's why I have to set the notifications on their smart phones. However, I really believe that whether it's in television or in social media, gambling ads should always be prohibited so that gambling casinos cannot recruit their soon to be slaves for gambling.

It is very rare nowadays on public TV to see this type of advertisement, strange, the real danger is not a casino advertising on any public television, which I repeat is very rare, alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and betting are regulated for those traditional news channels.

The consideration must be made with the Internet,although companies like Google Ads prohibit them, they sneak in, but there is a part of the market in other companies that distribute advertisements, Google is the greatest exponent of impressions for any advertisement, not is the only advertising provider.

The point is that if you are worried about the advertisement that appears on television, really!, I think you are making the issue up, a parent today knows that the danger, the real danger is on the Internet, if you really are, you know that there are real dangers today, beyond a television commercial.

You want to have control with your child, use things like the Family Link App, to find the true control you should have over your child, then on platforms like Youtube, if your child is under 13, use Youtube Kids, it's not perfect but even things like comments are banned, they can't make them and you can't read them, among other interesting things like preventing them from at least accessing Youtubers, which can lead your child down the wrong path, not only in the orientation but in the execution of make things download from the Internet in malicious links, etc.

I read some posts above, where someone says; "talk to your son...so that he doesn't continue down the wrong path..." lol and that person has a signature from a casino.

Come on, the problem is not in the commercial , it's you, it's the environment, that's what forms it, not a 30-second advertisement, unlike internet advertising that runs 24 hours/7 days, and in that same sense, youtubers, and the little ones in the home connecting not 30 seconds, hours and hours.

Then you are going to worry about a television commercial, I am more worried as a parent about the hours my child can spend on a cell phone or any smart device that can be connected to.

Finally, let's talk about the realities, which we have to talk about on this board, e.g. from the point of view of poker, analyzing your few words and the meaning you are giving them, you are making a Bluff with this thread, you have nothing, you are bluffing.

Such advertisements are often seen on various sports related TV channels. Where live betting is encouraged. This will definitely have a negative impact on kids. However, it is almost clear that there is no action by the TV media or the government in this regard. Because governments can earn large revenues in countries that have licensed casinos or gambling platforms. So they take no action from their position. We should definitely discourage those with kids from viewing those ads otherwise there is no alternative to avoid it

Since I live in a country where gambling is considered as illegal thing, so I have never seen gambling ads on local TV channel. Lets say gambling is legal in my country and casinos can advertise it on local TV channel, I think it is fine as long as there is specific time when such an advertisement is allowed in order to avoid kids watching it. Anyway, I think that local TV channel is no longer attractive since few years back, most people moved from TV to social media such as netflix to watch favorite movies and move to other online services for other type of entertainment such as sports. With this situation, I think casino wont be willing to spend money to advertise in local TV channel because there are many other places in the internet which is being used by most people more and more than TV.

Casino or gambling ads are mostly seen on social media. I think we can't stop these ads at will. We should control our children and stop them from these gambling ads. If they get into gambling at such a young age.  Their future will be very bad. If we can keep our children careful then they can stay away from gambling. If we do not discipline our children properly then they will get involved in various crimes including gambling.

99% chance that Indian kids already have seen those ads and may be even google searched it already especially if the casino has a logo of a cuddly animals. But it disnt stop Australia from banning gambling ads on TV though. I think they still did the right thing and leave the online ads alone.

If your kid asks about it, just don't lie for they will find out about it and find out you lie.

It is completely natural that casinos advertise themselves when it comes to sport events, as not only sport events are very popular and the more people watch their ads the better, but we also know sport bets are incredibly popular as well and casinos are not going to let such an opportunity to go past them.

Now if one of your kids asks you about it you do not really need to go into detail about it, just explain to them this is something adults like to do and leave it at that.

I am also from India and I see too too too much ads of gambling related apps and websites, this leads to many new people signing up on new platforms which may be a scam.
But I am feeling sad about those people, they are going to lose their hard earned money if they played by thinking of making money.

And these ads are not good for kids we can try to control these types of ads in mobile phones by parental control feature.
But I don't know about how to save kids from TV ads, maybe give an excuse that this is a card game app which is very boring to play.

Simple explanation to kids they will understand it rather than explaining it thorougly only a few bits of it so that they will not have questions about it.

Kids won't be curious about those advertisements which is mostly what I noticed. They are more curious when their parents start doing it and they have tons of questions about it. For example one of the scenarios that I noticed in my neighbor's kid is that he will tell the other kids that his father won some money because of gambling then he will add let's play something and our bets are stones  meaning they already practice it and probably his parents haven't guided that kid.

They are not curious about that advertisements they switch channels when ads are running. So less probability of seeing those gambling ads.
And you are right they show interest when their parents are doing it in front of them.
So parents shouldn't be playing in front of their kids. And do not share their losses and wins.

Kids start to play gambling type games at their initial age with friends but that's not to worry about.
Like they toss coin for a chance to do something, they predict who will win the match, etc.
But we need to protect them with real gambling like going into casinos offline or online.

I haven't watched TV for so long and it's possible that the gambling adverts are still there today. However, instead of watching TV, I prefer to be on social networks such as YouTube, Instagram or even Twitter and indeed there I see gambling advertisements more often. I think you should be able to avoid what you have seen with your child on TV and we can't do anything about it considering that broadcasting rights also benefit from the advertising results. It's better when your child is a teenager enough that you can be honest about what he sees and besides, even if you lie, your child will become even more suspicious because basically small children like to be curious about what they see.

sometimes I wanted to Blame the the government for this as they are allowing those site to advertise in regular channel in which even kids are watching.
and also those greedy  station owner that conniving with those scam site that even if they don't know their activities in the beginning but after having some complaints they need to terminate the agreement but of ccourse they will not as there are money involved and not as small. there are big money inside.
but me? there are only few channels that I allow them instead i prefer them to use specific movie provider that they are using but of course limited for kids only.
so i am 90 percent safer for them not to cross gambling.

It is common in Western developed countries to see such ads of course in pay per view channels like Paramount+ and CBS when I watch the games live of soccer there,it is common to see all kinds of gambling sites advertisements which are all from FIAT companies like Betfair being the most prominent one shown the most here.

If you mean that the ads in the stadium banners they are hard to forget and also unfortunately now most soccer teams are sponsored by different gambling sites so hard to ignore all of these,nothing we can do,it is business that run things and gambling is a major sponsor of them.

Growing up as a kid I've never seen any gambling advertisement on TV before, I could remember many adverts on TV till today, from food items to favorite chocolate and milk shows, but never for once have I seen any casino or gambling related advertisements.

I believe this depends on your country, it's nice that I never seen such on TV while growing up because it could have affected many kids, we know children are always curious about things and they always want to try them out.

Gambling is very hated my older people from my country, they look at it like a life destroyer, they warn us to stay away from gambling, and there are so many life turned into light paper because of gambling.

It's better not to have a casino advert on TV and make sure kids watch them, I am sure they will develop a interest thinking they can be young billionaires through gambling, and those adverts can be confusing, they will use jackpots and fake past winners to deceive the audience.

It doesn't affect me and you. Even in countries that don't accept gambling but gambling ads run because people in that country are playing online gambling freely. How many people will the government punish! However you may know how to control your children well, but you can be lied to when making your child aware of this. Because if young children are addicted to gambling your family may face various problems in future and especially financial problems. Not only tv shows but you go to YouTube or any social media you will find gambling ads that are absolutely impossible for you to turn off. However, gambling will not be a problem for adults because everyone will consider ways to earn money.

The ads are everywhere and are difficult to control, If you tell them lies for the one you all see on TV, you will not always be with them on their mobile phones, and as they walk the streets. There is no need to tell lies to your kids because they will later find out the truth and may become disappointed in you.

Tell them the truth and let them understand why at their age, they should not consider starting gambling because of how prone to addiction they are, and how addiction to gambling at an early stage in their life can ruin their lives. Some kids understand better than we think, we sometimes just complicate things with thinking they cannot understand because of their age.

Maybe the national lottery held by government but aside from that I don't see any casino especially online gambling sites promoting their gambling business on stations since maybe government doesn't allow any gambling advertisement since they know what implication it can bring to their citizens. I find it good actions because it can save many peoples lives to get away on possible harmful environment that can possibly introduce to them. Maybe in your case proper guidance is needed and explain to them that what you are watching is not good for them or maybe try to switch the channel if you see those ads popping up on your tv. Those ads can really affect them especially if they are expose from it for long time so much better introduce them to cartoons or any educational movies so they would forget what they see on other stations.

The best way to help a child or children not to begin associating themselves to gambling and other social media stuff is not to watch those things in their presence, I understand that when it comes to ads it may just pop up abruptly while in the midst of educative TV show in form of ads but you can totally avoid tuning into such stations that it could be aired as ads, of course we can identify such stations and programs, like some TV shows that involve immoral acts are likely to also show some gambling ads because they go hand in hand.

You can't see a religious TV show or program running gambling ads on their program, so those are more apt for children, cartoons and kiddies shows. Some kiddies by themselves detest to watch any TV that is not kiddies or cartoons. So don't force them to watch those not good for their character formation.

Gambling is a big business for owners of game houses and casinos so they are surely going to have their ads littered everywhere in social media, apps, radio or TV stations and it is the duty of parents to guide their children properly until they are of age to take their own decisions.

If I am not wrong in many countries advertising TV commercials is somewhat prohibited or restricted and also gambling platforms concentrate more on serious ways of advertising than just making funny ads on TV and expecting people to use them.

For example, casinos create sponsorship offer deals with popular franchise link football clubs then their logo will be in their jersey or some sort of it so whenever the team plays and the game Aired there will be millions of viewers watching the casino logo too and that is going to bring the actual customers and also creates more brand value to their name which adds further benefits.

It's been years since I've watched TV, even my children, maybe because there are no interesting programs to watch on TV, which makes me not interested in watching TV except for football programs, but talking about gambling advertisements, I have never seen them on any TV show because of advertisements. Gambling is very illegal in my country so maybe I have never encountered it except at football events sometimes there are advertisements for casino sites there on the boards in the football field when the match is going on.

Unfortunately in my country it is very illegal so gambling advertisements like that will not be found even though for example gambling advertisements are legal and often shown on TV maybe if you ask me what the advertisement is I will definitely answer and explain to my child that gambling is not very good and so on. because if we forbid it, it will really make him curious and find out about it. so just explain if he asks

I'm lucky there are no gambling adverts on TV so parents don't have to worry about that. But what parents think about is the existence of these advertisements on social media because a friend of mine saw the gambling advertisement on his child's social media page and he immediately asked his child's phone to adjust the settings on his phone.

I agree that gambling advertisements should be reduced to not arouse curiosity among underage children so they do not see them too often. That way, their attention will not be focused on the gambling advertisements. And if they ask us about gambling, we should not lie to them and explain the truth to them so they can think further.

From there, there will be further discussions between parents and children where parents can explain the impact on a person if he gambles and what will happen to him in the future. It is up to the government to reduce the broadcast hours for gambling advertisements and they should change them to later broadcast hours so that children do not see gambling advertisements.

Gambling is legal in our country but we do not have ads like this on TV and it should not happen maybe the Indian regulatory board does not have restrictions on ads shown on TV, on our popular media our board is very strict, and the channels cannot show this kind of ads and violation will face a stiff penalty.

This is very bad for children, the government should protect the welfare of the children and show ads related to gambling ads will corrupt the minds of the children, but as parents, we should not allow our children to watch channels that advertise gambling ads, if the government cannot protect the children the parents should take action.

in Italy such advertisements are illegal since some years....
It's completely forbidden any kind of gambling advertisements.
The quality here was very very low and something misleading ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKgkYxWoZ-M
See one of famous tv spots here on the youtube link.... Main claim is "Do you like to win easy?"


that's the reason actually Italians spends 20 billions of euro each year on gambling!
https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/giochi-2022-stato-incassa-103-miliardi-22percento-e-italiani-hanno-speso-quasi-20-miliardi-AEzTpxTC?refresh_ce=1

In Serbia, gambling ads are everywhere... literally everywhere. On TV, radio, and around the town. and even though at the end of the ad, or under the ad, they say or write "This does not apply to minors" it is already too late... they saw/heard it. That is stupid, even thou I am a gambler I think that kids nowadays are bombarded with ads on every step they make. I think there should be some special places for advertising and special hours for gambling advertising... having them everywhere all the time is crazy, and this will create more problems for those kids in the future.

But it's on the government to regulate it... but they don't care as long as they are getting paid I guess.

In our country, since I was young, I didn't see any gambling advertised on TV.
Regarding your concern, it is really concerning considering that there are so many kids watching TV. Social media become the house of advertisement for gambling, but now, it is also can be seen on TV. That feels like there is no place for the young ones to avoid gambling ads. This might trigger their curiosity about gambling. However, we can't do anything if it is being advertised on TV. The only thing you can do is to let your kid watch kid's TV or anything that matches their age.

It's inevitable there are sports events that are being sponsored by gambling platforms in our country its lottery, gambling is legal in our country but only those of legal age can bet, when it comes to the visibility of gambling platforms it's everywhere, we have lotto betting station on every corner of the city so its up top parent to educate their children on the reality of gambling, the gambling ads are something our children cannot avoid especially in the internet, so we have to be on alert it's not only on TV but everywhere but more so in the internet.

In my country I rarely see it unless you watch a sports coverage, most ads here being used are about food, body care, etc. I don't think kids would be able to understand it already unless that's a genius one or they are at age that already doing some mild gambling stuffs. I don't think lying with them will do good it's best you explain them the truth and the implications it will bring if you end up getting addicted on it.

I think it is definitely a good suggestion. If a father asks his young child any question after seeing such gambling advertisement then surely that father should give him proper explanation. There is no harm in clarifying the negative aspects of it in front of him. I have seen many children who want to do the activity more enthusiastically the more a parent forbids them from doing it. So of course if something is hidden then they can be more curious which can definitely lead to danger for them later. If they suddenly raise any question about such advertisement then he should be given a good idea about it according to his merit so that he does not try to find out about it secretly.

As a kid, I honestly doesn’t care about the odds since I don’t know most of it especially those foregin odds when watching international channels. It’s not a big deal if your kids watch it for as long as they didn’t know it and they don’t care. The only time it will alarming is when they start asking that’s why most of the channel with that kind of ads usually have a parental guidance logo.

Gambling ads is very popular on sports channel here which I’m always watching. There’s kids and parents in my family that watching same sports with me but they never ask about ads but rather annoy about it since everyone focused on the sports we are watching and not the ads.

I don't have cable and I haven't installed an antenna on my television so it is only used for YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, etc. It's seldom that I can see gambling ads on Youtube but lately, I am always seeing this bingo type of online betting.

During sports games though it is common to see sports betting advertisements. I don't understand why we need to lie in case our children are asking about it. Why not answer them the truth and educate them in the right manner? It's like risking your ice cream money, you get 2 scoops if you win but no ice cream if you lose.

In my country all forms of gambling are prohibited so there are no advertisements about gambling platforms. However, at sporting events there are lots of banners about cigarette and contraceptive products which I think are quite disturbing. The government also doesn't seem to be too bothered by these advertisements because they get taxes from it.
In fact, the government should regulate these advertisements because they are quite disturbing and can influence young people to use these products. These advertisements can influence children's subconscious minds and trigger them to be curious and use the product. That's why in developing countries the rate of addiction to gambling, cigarettes, etc. is quite high because there are no advertising regulations from the government.

At one side you are saying that gambling is prohibited in your country and on the other side you are saying that the government do not bother if about sports betting advertisements. Instead of collecting money as an advertisement for sports betting, they could actually ban the local platforms that are advertising those bets and fine them too.

Either the government first legalise gambling and allow the ads or completely ban the gambling and the betting ads, doing half of the things and allowing the other half for their own benefits is not the right thing in my opinion.

When you start to lie to them, then you are compromising everything for yourself. You will always look for lies, which you will always use to cover up what you told them before, so I don't know how long you will keep on hiding the truth from them, because I am sure they will still end up finding out what gambling is all about. They can just search on Google and get all the information they need. They might be deceived and motivated to gamble by the information they see on Google and some advertisements they see on social media that say people are making money through gambling. But if you open up to them and tell them what gambling is really all about, tell them to avoid gambling, or ask them to avoid gambling addiction, It's better to just be open to them because children can learn to gamble anywhere, and if they don't have proper orientation, they might end up addicted to gambling, which is really bad.

If you are in a country where gambling is illegal, then any TV channel that can advertise any gambling site might end up being sanctioned for that, so no TV channel will even take that risk no matter the amount that they will be paid. But in countries where gambling is legal, you will see gambling site advertising on different TV channels, you will see gambling site advertisements even on the street. So you can't hide anything from your kid for a long period of time, it's better to open up to them and warn them.

Ads, ads, and more ads, they're everywhere! Its practically impossible to shield the kids from all these ads. And gambling ads? Well, they are the most dangerous. What can we do, right? Ads on TV, ads online, ads everywhere the eye can see.

There is no avoiding the truth: commercials promoting gambling will continue for the foreseeable future. So, what are we going to do? Let's not keep these things a secret from our kids or tell them lies about them. Deal with it directly.

You should explain it to them, warn them about the risks, and assure them its not a magical land where money grows on trees. While we're about it, let's start advocating for less advertisements related to gambling, particularly during family watching hours.

Advertisements about gambling sites I think is one of the most ads we now see on our screens and sometimes it pops up during important and educative TV shows that are being watched by all even children. Though at the end of the ads, they'll still let viewers know that gambling is solely for people of 18 years and above but that won't stop some children from participating from it. Young minds are believed to very inquisitive and always want to do what they've never done before and sometimes they end up ruining their future because of the fact that they really want to do what they've never done before. So I think it not good to be displaying such ads during the day when children will definitely be watching the screens so it doesn't expose them to gambling before they reach adulthood

What is a lottery? because I think this is part of gambling, so why can it pass the advertising services inspection and have sponsors? Of course I see it often, in fact every day there are events such as guessing, choosing a set of boxes that have number symbols in them, there are big prizes if you are lucky. Isn't the concept of gambling in it? they don't realize it or it's just that there isn't the word gambling in the title of the show.

Now this is the government's inconsistency, openly prohibiting this type of gambling but it seems they forget that gambling can be in any form and if we understand the concept of gambling and the game we will smile at what we see on television, even small children watch, this concerns guessing, betting to exchange a number for another number.

This type of hidden gambling is packaged in such a way and displays concepts above the concept of gambling.

Not on television but on YouTube. I don't think you can control it when it's on the local channel.
But if it is on YouTube then there's a solution. Make them their own accounts that are controlled by you. That's the only way you can avoid this. YouTube only gathers information from your watch history so you don't want to mix whatever you are watching with theirs. If you only have one television then don't forget to change accounts whenever you are using it. That way you can still watch whatever you want without infecting theirs.
I think I have erased and blocked a lot of history with my kids' accounts just so they would not see content that is not for their age.
Or, you could just use the other feature which is only for kids. Mostly cartoons or people who made kids content. There's no bad advertisements there.

Depend with country regulation about gambling is legal or an illegal platform, based on in my country gambling is illegal platform never see any advertising on TV with gambling platform but they try to advertise trough an illegal way by social media platform. I don't think efficiency when advertising gambling platform on TV because due fastest of technology development right now social media platform like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and other platform more benefit to get interest for advertising of gambling than TV.
Some countries have regulation with gambling they will not allowed for advertising on TV for gambling platform in productive time, usually will show or advertise on TV when late due protecting from children or TV programme for adult not for children.

Although gambling is illegal in my country and it’s strictly prohibited by the government, but i have seen a lot of times especially some local TV channels advertising gambling platform as like 1xbet and it’s also mostly promoted site by the social influencers in Facebook & Youtube. And it’s very common to see gambling advertisements in the International sports channels.

Whether it a lottery or anything related to any form of gambling activity there will definitely be prohibitions and regulations regarding advertising on TV broadcasts because the government is also unlikely to allow TV channels that have shows promoting gambling even though gambling is legal in that country.
Gambling advertisements can have a bad impact on the development gaps of children or those who are still students because they will make them curious and then try to gamble.
Gambling advertisements have been numerous and spread on social media so it is impossible to get permission for advertising on TV broadcasts because some the state really limits it.

It not surprising that the government doesn't really have strong consistency because some individuals will take advantage of situations like this to make money by asking for taxes.
Or maybe what is meant is a charity lottery which is implemented by several countries but I can't help but wonder if they have different thoughts about this because if you think about it logically all forms of activity that involve risking money or valuables is gambling.

Most kids won’t be attracted to these types of advertisements. I know I wasn’t. Cartoons and such are more likely to attract little kids than gambling advertisements on TV. I don’t even know if kids watch TV anymore.
Gambling ads I’ve seen are mainly on sports channels and i really don’t see any problem with that. If allowed, they should be free to advertise their service like any other business. Parents should step up more in their observation and interaction with their kids.

A lot of people would probably be slightly annoyed and impatient when watching a show at advertisements being played over and over while eagerly waiting for the show to go on. Ads during a great show is also a great time to refill on snacks.

The government can only regulate local television programs, for international programs, football matches or certain sports are recognized as legal and are sometimes sponsored by large casinos, advertising is very normal but usually, it's just quite small ads, it feels like their government also has relative regulations to somewhat limit the impact of gambling. And I think these are just small strategies of casinos, they mostly target internet platforms and free areas like social networks, TV does not leave enough gadgets for a user to be impressed with gambling

Just like political posters and billboards so is gambling advertisement in the capital city of my country also, although i dont know whether or not gambling is regulated over here but then we have the responsibility to divert our kids attention from things that we believe that are harmful to they mental well being at that time.


But so much so, in as much as we try to do that, there are chances that earlier education can help in this direction because when you observed that your kids can comprehend some reality you can expose them to little inside experience and it dangers, in doing so you are helping to shape they mind against the future and wether we like it or not, we are going free them at some stage of they life to experience and explore they world.
Some time we have to play some documentary on the dangers of gambling addictions to the kids to let tgem know what awaits anyone who allows himself to slide into gambling addictions.

I think it's simply that the parties find a voice in using the service with each other. One time while accidentally using it during lunch, I accidentally turned on a channel with content introducing online gambling.
At that time, people claimed that in convenient times they could advertise anything, but children didn't care much, so sometimes we were afraid of the problem of accessing information in the next generation, but It seems that it is just an objective view. Wishing good things for everyone, I believe that as long as the product is suitable for the age content, it will be interesting for them to appear a lot.

I suggest that you quote government regulations or policies that prohibit gambling in India, because we do not know in detail the policies of each country with different regulations. I am looking for information regarding the gambling policy in India which only prohibits gambling advertisements on television but gambling advertisements in print media, social media platforms and other media are still allowed, you can correct me if my explanation is wrong so that we know the actual policy that applies in your country .

If you watch cricket with your children, you must teach your child to focus on sports techniques and teach him to ignore the gambling advertising boards in the area around the field. If you often find gambling advertisements during match breaks, then switch to another broadcast to avoid children watching gambling ads on television.

At what age do you think the kids should learn about gambling games?
I did learn to gamble when I was a kid playing cards with friends and scratch cards. It isn't really serious money as they were just dimes. It still developed our social life as a kid but this is the time when we don't have internet yet.

This time around the kids can download apps and can find out how to make money online which they will be interested in once they need money. I wouldn't be surprised if they sign up on onlyfans and that would be more disturbing.

Yes, with the easy access to the internet, kids can easily learn how to play. If interest catches their attention, they can just watch tutorials
from social platforms and start playing, we can't deny the fact that even the emerging technology really helps to update our life.

But there are always other side effects of this system, without proper guidance and without that closeness to your children. It's not by far that
their young minds can be corrupted and lead them to an early addiction problems.

Well, since you are talking about YouTube, International channels and social media in general, it makes sense that you are seeing those advertisements, regardless of the political position of your administration on gambling.

Though, it would be a completely different situation if those channel where you notice the ads were from your own country, that would show some serious corruption and even lawlessness going on in your republic.

Also, not surprising it is 1xbet. They rely much of their resources in ads both on TV and on social media, since their product and quality cannot positively talk for themselves, they need to pay to create a positive facade in the eyes of the unsuspecting public. ::)

In general, perhaps young children will not be attracted by gambling advertisements that appear on television channels. However, if advertisements are shown frequently and repeatedly, to a small extent this will stimulate their (children's) thinking, making them curious about gambling. And it would be good if advertisements like this were only shown at certain times, such as in the middle of the night, when there are no longer any small children watching television because they are already fast asleep. So that gambling advertisements are shown specifically to people who are old enough.

Advertisement like this is common in football channels, and some few channels, since gambling is legal in my country so nothing can be done about it, they have the right to advertise anywhere they want, but as a parent, you should be the one to caution the young one’s which you are having, if you can lock those channels( add parental control), you can always unlock it whenever you know they are not around, or maybe you can just tell them what gambling is all about and the necessary things which you think they should know about gambling, because you can’t keep on hiding those channels forever, and you can’t keep on lying to them forever, just educate them and tell them the necessary things which they should know.

It cannot be denied that the influence of easy internet access can impact children. They can find any tutorial via YouTube and then try it. His parents didn't even know how to play the game until his parents had to watch the videos too. And children must be accompanied when they are watching any tutorial on the internet so that they can really understand it. Without guidance from their parents, they may get badly influenced by the internet, and if it is gambling, the impact will be even worse when they experience gambling addiction problems.

Kids are even smarter these days and are more aggressive especially when they think it's quite interesting and exciting. That's why I'm just thankful that gambling ads on television here in our country are not practiced. Otherwise, they will surely explore early gambling as well. But what's the most important is, parents should be there always when these kids have doubts in their minds, and should be prepared all the time to motivate these kids not to try things that are considered illegal for their age.

I discovered that several factors play a more significant role in initiating the habit of gambling than television and other forms of advertising. These influential factors include the family environment, peer pressure, accessibility, and the personality trait of risk-taking. These proximate factors can exert a strong influence on behavior, much like any other habit that can become addictive.

Gambling ads are everywhere, even at TV's ads from countries where gambling isn't totally legal. Sports betting has invaded with all strength soccer industry in my country and it's just impossible to watch a match without seeing a dozen sports betting companies being promoted meanwhile. They have also hired national athletes, actors and comedians to execute the advertisements.

What I dislike is the way advertisements are made sometimes, as influencers lead the public to the error of believing gambling is a source of extra income. They take advantage of the uneducated ones to succeed. That is not good on long term for people being deceived, neither for gambling industry, which is just going to be seen more negatively than it already is.

Gambling advertisements are prohibited under television broadcasting laws in many countries but in some countries such broadcast bans are unfortunately not enforced by regulatory and supervisory authorities. I think that if a young child sees these ads and asks questions about gambling, we should definitely not lie about it. Although a child has reached a certain age level to understand what is told to them it is a proven fact that children generally quickly understand the distinction between right and wrong that they are taught at a young age. For this reason, I think that instead of teaching false information to young children about gambling they should be taught that it is actually a bad habit.

Learning that gambling is harmful for a young child will significantly reduce the gambling habits that may occur in the future because the child will know gambling as a bad thing and will be aware that it is something that should not be played. Of course, this idea may change over time but it is possible to minimize such possibilities with the right training.

The gambling ads was easily get into the TV by using the money giving to the television channel.We know not all the television channel get the ads,So they accepts the ads from the gambling and made an disclaimer at the end of the ads.Which was not even hear by the innocent people,if the innocent people had share this to their friends.Then both the innocent person and his friends will loss the money.If they play with the knowledge,the possibility of losing money was low in gambling.

Here in our local, I've never seen a gambling ad as a commercial on a local television network. Mostly, streaming sites like Youtube are those that frequently place gambling-related ads.  I don't find it troublesome if gambling advertisements are shown everywhere especially if they follow the right guidelines in the first place. What else can we do? Can we stop it?

If you care for your kids I don't think we should put the blame on the advertisements but rather just do your part to help them become responsible while growing.

Why should you lie? Direct answer them about what they saw and feed their mind with knowledge.

Besides, I don't find that kids will have such interest right away if they see will a gambling ads while they are watching.

Like any other advertisement, they will just ignore it and hit that "SKIP" button as they don't want to be interfered on what they are currently watching.

Don't stressed about it mate. That's not an alarming. It's impossible for me that those ads will trapped our kids into gambling. Just do our best to keep them educated in several things like gambling or any other activities that's not fit to them yet.

I do not mind gambling platforms to advertised on TV but it should be accompanied by a gambling awareness campaign.  This way we are not denying people about where to find good place to play gambling games but at the same time we are raising awareness about the negative effects of too much gambling and the devastating effect of gambling addiction.  It is like giving the masses a choice and at the same time make them aware the possible effect of it on their lives.

It’s not something uncommon these days as the growth in the industry and the benefits it gets from positive advertising has got gambling sites out for more publicity and you can’t go a day without seeing at least one or two gambling sites. Every time they do come by, they always proclaim big wins and that’s what people are out for. It becomes the captivating point for kids and gets them curious.
When they do, I don’t think it’s the best idea to lie to them because they eventually find out and when they do, they become way worst than you would have expected.

I feel when they come to you with curiosity over what you feel is bad, you tell them the pros and cons to the industry, than make them an alien to it and that would in turn help them more. That’s because, the lesson they will learn from you on the course would be direction towards the takes you want for them on it but, rather than what they would be fed with else where.

Well, they ban all forms of gambling so advertisements or various things about gambling certainly won't be able to be shown. However, the funny thing is that the government here seems hypocritical because it is common knowledge that in several locations there are nightclubs and casinos that operate and are supported by officials and authorities. So even though gambling here is banned, behind the scenes it is still operating lol.

The important thing is that we don't lie to our children and explain what gambling is and its impact on them so they can think. With this thinking, they can understand that they don't need to gamble if it only negatively impacts their lives. They will find out for themselves when they grow up and see what is happening in their environment. If they can find examples of people who gamble, they can compare them with people who don't gamble so they can conclude what gambling really is like.

They probably wouldn't approach gambling if they knew its impact on them, especially if they had seen what happens to someone who gambles for too long and what impacts they experience. Children have great curiosity but with guidance from their parents, they can learn and understand what they should not do even when they grow up.

I don’t see anything wrong with an advertisement if there are no direct calls to play. If it is simply informational in nature, then it’s okay. But if the advertisement contains aggressive prizes for playing and communicating a large bonus and an easy game, this should definitely be regulated by censorship.

Wait a minute... Which entrepreneur or business company would put up an advertisement online without showcasing to you what you would benefit from them if you sign up after listening to it? None will do that. Example here signature campaign companies announce opening and solicit for posting by advertising them all over the forum while they also publish the pay rates for every level of user whose expression of interest / application is accepted. This is how it is across, so no gambling company will advertise on TV or anywhere without telling their products and encourage you to win by registering and playing. It is left for the person to decide on what to do , if you let the children to see adverts, they are equally seeing all about the announcement .

Gambling advertising might be affected by the changing rules over time. And now they are illegal to be broadcasted in many countries.
Not sure about the case of India but gambling ads on TVs are restricted in the part of world I live. It might be in order to prevent children from getting curious over the ads. But again that doesn't stop for them from advertising. They do so using the shadow advertisement where they use a same named or similarly named product or service that is not related to gambling but most people would obviously relate the ads to the gambling platform.
The real life casinos here also organize live performance shows that are broadcasted over TV.

Several of these gambling companies have bought their way through some of these broadcasting regulatory body that are saddled with the responsibility to clampdown on gambling companies that dares break the gambling advertising rules of operation in the country. And that's why we have societies where gambling adverts are easy to be found on TV shows.

As parents in this case we have to play our role in a technical way by being  obvious and truthful about those adverts to our children explaining to them about the negative consequences and why they are not of age to go near it or think about it. Trying to hide the truth from them can make them talk about it to the wrong people that may either introduce them to it directly.

Children may be attracted to gambling due to gambling advertisements on TV which has no chance to be ignored. However, if gambling is perceived negatively by the people of a country, but gambling is advertised on TV, it means that the people of that country will begin to accept gambling as normal after a certain period of time. If people are not attracted to gambling by immediate advertisement then after a long time there will be many gamblers. As a result, gambling companies may not recover in the short term, but after a long time, their business may increase tremendously. Gambling is usually advertised on TV in countries where gambling is permitted.

In Indonesia gambling is illegal, therefore we'll never see any gambling advertisements there. However, there are several things that cannot be separated from these advertisements, such as the UCL event, because Indonesia is a country where football fanaticism is very high, it is undeniable that children and adults will watch UCL events, where several teams there directly sponsor gambling sites.

One time I watched UCL together with my little brother who was still underage, he was the type of person who was very curious, so he asked about everything there, including the main sponsor Porto (Betano), so I just explained what Actually, without having to lie, I also explained that gambling is a scary thing if you can't control yourself, that's all.

Yes, gambling advertisement is nothing new on television.

But if you don't want to see that, the only way is switching to other stations especially for kids e.g. kids station, CN, discovery kids etc. If you say you're not enjoy to watch it, then I can't comment too much.

I never watch television anymore because cell phone is better for my productivity.

Is there any advertisement that doesn't invite people to buy or entice viewers unto their platform or product? Isn't that the main point of why these companies or businesses do advertisement?

There are some countries who regulates these kind of gambling advertisement while there are some who ban them. However, there are some who allow them at all. In my case, most of the gambling advertisement we've received from television are mostly offline casino where people will be tempted with all the prizes they offer especially grand prizes. They also showcase how alluring their casino is and where people will be excited to visit them.

I don't mind much about these gambling advertisement for my children since, for me, it still depends to us parents to educate them especially that these gambling things mostly starts on their environment such as schools and other children they'll interact with and not on a casino.

Yes, that's a good way for you to explain to your little brother about the dangers of that site, so that it's not easy for him to look for it on Google search and play there. Moreover, the advertisements that appear on the football field boards, including sponsors, don't look like gambling either. it's just a written name of the site so they will definitely ignore it and it's not that important to know.

But if your sister is a curious person, maybe not many people are like you, most people will ignore the ad, it doesn't even look like an invitation, it's even displayed for something that makes people curious, just a billboard with the name of the site and a sponsor, nothing more. In fact, what's dangerous is if your younger sibling sees a gambling streamer on the internet where the details are clearer there. btw, fortunately you are in a country where gambling is not legal.  ;)

Here in our country, there's no such thing as gambling advertisement on TV, this is because there's an agency that filters the ads being showed on national television to protect the children's welfare. Almost all, if not really entirely of the advertisements in our country are rated G which means that it is suitable for any audience. And if there are ads that weren't filtered in the beginning, the mtrcb will remove it from being aired ever again especially if it is bothersome and could promote harmful effects to the viewers.

Hopefully, there will also be an agency like ours to filter the ads being displayed and played on your TV. This is to prevent kids from being exposed to unwanted scenarios that could cloud their judgment.

Good thing I'd never see it on TV so I have nothing to explain with my kids. Maybe this will depend on the location or country that allows gambling ads to be published on Television because I'd never seen it since before. But can be seen on social media platforms like Facebook, in fact, many social media influencers are promoting this. This is not really appropriate to be on television and parents have a huge role in educating their kids. But I think the government must implement rules restricting this kind of ads shown on television as this is not appropriate for kids.

I don't really know what kind of Ads are shown on TV these days because I don't watch any private TV anymore. Except for Netflix I only watch some public TV with mostly news and local reports, luckily there are no ads. In my opinion there should definitely be boundaries on gambling ads on TV. For example, during morning Kid shows there shouldn't be any gambling related Ads. When the show is directly made for kids then there shouldn't be any Ads in general. The kids don't have any money yet and all the ideas put in their head will come down to the parents to buy these things. Why not just let kids enjoy their shows and only focus on adults with the Ads? In my country there are a lot of flyers and local advertising for gambling. Near one of my favourite restaurants is a big betting place and my niece and nephew keep getting cards from them, so every time we go for dinner and pass that place, they keep asking me about it. I don't think it's okay that they give their flyers to 10-year-old children, or maybe the find it on the ground as people throw it away, which is also not okay to produce these ads in such high quantities. Kids should be more protected from Ads in general, the companies can focus on them enough when they are adults.

Kids aren't easily attracted to that especially if that's a gambling advertisement. What they want to see while watching is cartoons, funny blogs, game streams, and anything that is funny. If that is gambling, they will just ask for that remote control and hit that skip advertisement.

If they don't ignore it, then it's not a problem. If they ask you about it then just answer them directly.

If we will hide it from them, that will just make them curious and that's a problem.

I'm not sure whether casinos don't consider it a serious way of advertising or not but I guess you are right that most countries have a restriction or prohibition on gambling-related TV commercials because I've never seen one my entire life, maybe they are allowed in countries where gambling is legal but I also think that one reason for this might be because minors also watch TV and they know it isn't a good thing to show kids gambling advertisements.

Regarding global strategic partnerships of gambling platforms with famous football clubs, I think a month or two ago I read a news that said that FIFA is about to impose a rule where gambling logos and names won't be allowed to be used on the front of the kits worn by players, I don't know if that is going to be implemented or not but if it does, that will be a big loss for casinos.

I am sure there is, and just the same restrictions for cigarette, Liquor, and many others even in the country where those things are legal you can't see their advertisements on TV commercials. So they have to find other ways to brand their names and successfully do it in many other ways which are more effective, a lot cheaper than air an ad on TV and especially I don't know how many people are really watching TV in these busy days and we got everything in our palm so-called smartphone.

Yes I've seen it many times and all of them were in sport matches especially football match, although it is not a direct ads but there are many banners of gambling sites in sports matches.
I'm not quite understand about the rules and regulation of gambling ads in TV, but I'm sure every country and its local TV must have their own rules about it.
Personally I do not care about gambling ads in sports matches as it can be said as common thing but it will be bad if there are gambling ads outside sports events.
If we are afraid about our kids to watch that ads, we should educate them about it, dont let them find about it themselves without our control.

I agree, I understand that people do not want kids to be exposed to gambling ads, but there are also limits to the regulations that a government could put in place, if gambling ads were being shown during a TV show which was specifically aimed at kids then you can be sure I will be against that kind of advertising.

But a sport event more than anything attracts adults and young people, so I am fine with casino ads showing during sport events, and if a kid asks about it then they can be guided by their parents, instead of trying to get the government to regulate what we can watch or not on our TVs.

The important thing is that we don't lie to them when explaining gambling so they also know the truth. We can also provide a detailed explanation about the consequences of gambling, especially when they grow up and the problems they can face as adults. Maybe they won't pay much attention but when they become curious, they will find out on their own and what is more worrying is if they gamble secretly without their parents knowing. They can get carried away with gambling and find it difficult to stop gambling, so parents must really be able to supervise their children when they are using their devices and connected to the internet.

I often come across gambling ads on YouTube, and my nephew frequently asks me about them. Initially, I was unsure how to explain this to him. I realized that, given his age, it might be challenging for him to grasp the concept no matter how I explained it. Fortunately, I found a solution - I started using YouTube Premium to avoid those ads.
I believe in being honest with children, but not all age groups can fully comprehend the complexities of certain topics. Nowadays, there are various types of gambling advertisements, including binary options, which can be considered a form of gambling. Explaining these concepts to a 6-7-year-old can be quite challenging.

Honesty with children is important so that they can accept the explanation and not be misinformed so that they can accept it. Maybe they will still have more questions about gambling and if we can explain it, we can explain it in more detail. But if we can't explain it, we can find other information to explain it to them. The important thing is that we can explain what they need to know so they don't go down the wrong path, including providing an understanding of the dangers of gambling at their age or when they grow up. This is necessary so they don't try it when they grow up because they already got the information from us.

In my country there is no advertising on TV about gambling. Because gambling is not legal here. But there are a lot of ads in online. Therefore, the effect of traditional TV advertisement is not much but the effect of online is not less. Because I think kids now prefer online more than TV. We used to see any advertisement on TV and take necessary measures so that no kid would be interested in it. But because of online advertising, those issues cannot be solved by others. However, this matter already taken in observation by the govt. authority. Advertising on TV is not unusual in any country where gambling is legal. If we can prevent children from watching such advertisements online then it will not be seen as a major problem.

Yes, it is true that children will be very easily influenced, especially since things seem new to them, children's curiosity is very high.
and they will see and study it if they are really curious.
Preventing the display of such advertisements is also one form of preventing children from experiencing this.

If national lottery is included in this gambling advertisement, basically I've watched before when I was still a kid but now I haven't seen any of these advertisement on television anymore. I remember that even the draw of winners are broadcast live on our national television. I know it because my father is actively watching it every night. Aside from national lottery, I can't recall any gambling advertisement from any channels in my country that had flashed a gambling advertisement. I think casinos are prioritizing in doing advertisement on social medias given that I am almost seeing one everyday.

 for my local TV ,  I've never seen it, and in my  country is also aggressively arresting gambling influencers, so it's impossible for gambling advertisements to appear on TV.
but online gambling advertisements are very disturbing if we open web,n social media , sometimes 2-3x gambling advertisements will appear on my social media pages

Do you really think it is going to prevent children from knowing the gambling/ casino sites?

No, if you want children to stay away from gambling then creating awareness about the importance of money and how much hours of work are put by their parents to get their salary every month then the kids realize where to spend money and where they should not.

But governments are really literally preventing nothing because they don't want to teach the upcoming generation about money then they will start asking questions about policies and it follows.

This should not happen, but not all countries allow gambling advertisements to be shown on TV, India may be one of the places where gambling advertisements are shown on TV screens, but not in my country, TV companies must follow the rules made by the authorities in our country regarding information and electronics, everything is regulated neatly, advertisements that have a bad impact on children are not allowed.

But the Indian state authorities prohibit gambling advertisements from being shown on TV screens, in my opinion it is easy to prohibit companies from advertising this, but what is worse is kong-kali-kong, There are shrimps behind rocks and for some reason, they are difficult to eradicate, but if the Indian people protest against gambling advertisements on TV not appearing anymore, maybe that will help solve the problem, it all comes back to society and the government, because they can do whatever they want, including advertising gambling.

Well said mate, it has actually become a normal phenomenon now that gambling site promotions are being given on tv channels. Moreover, such ads can be seen not only on TV channels but also on other platforms, starting from YouTube. In my opinion, in this digital age, if children are connected to these devices, then they can come in front of them. In this case, it is not enough to think that these should not be displayed in front of them.
So we have to think that if these come in front of them, they should take it negatively because under age gambling will never bring anything good. In this case what and why gambling is done and it is not good for children should be inculcated in their minds. And the thing that you mentioned, that is teaching money management to children, I think it is very important thing, it is not only in the field of gambling, it will be useful in others cases of their life.

That is why it's a must for parents to be present on the daily life of their children. Some people are really negligent nowadays: they want their children to be educated and matured on the automatic mode, where electronic devices, school and government do everything for them, while parents only concern about earning money and proportionating the basic financial needs of those children. The social and emotional aspects are put aside this way, leading the children to not having positive references where to inspire themselves on the construction of their personality and behavior.

Then, it's really risky that they get inclined to developing different addictions, although gambling is harder for children to get access, since they need money to bet and to prove they are adults through KYC procedure. Anyway, ads won't stop being displayed on TV and Youtube channels due to disfunctional children who don't have attention and aren't cared by their families. The dangers and risks of the world don't stop existing because some people aren't prepared for them.

Seriously, the way gambling ads are being display on TV this days is alarming and dangerous for our upcoming generation. During football match, the fifteen minutes break is always use to advertise all sort of gambling sites. Almost all break in each program must consist of one gambling ads or another and the truth is we can not continue to lie to them. It will be a slap on our face if we lie to them and they eventually find out the truth about it. I believe that not all the children will bother to ask but in case they do, just go ahead to tell them all they need to know about it and of course how dangerous it can be in ruining someone's life if care is not taken. Focus more on its disadvantages so they will be scare to even attempt to try it out. I would also advise to change channel when such ads are being put to play. It won't take up to five minutes.

There was an announcement recently that ICC is now allowing gambling sponsors to display their ads and I guess that is why these ads have increased.
Earlier it wasn't displayed on so many platforms but these days its displayed almost everywhere.
I guess other than educating our kids not to fall for it there's nothing we can do about it.

While watching TV I have seen many gambling advertisements. Also there are gambling ads while watching music on mobile phones or watching something entertaining on Facebook unique social media. Now not India advertisement but almost all the countries are advertising gambling, all these advertisements means more publicity. Of course I think that such advertisements should be less because in such advertisements our children may get addicted to gambling from here. Because here all the rules of gambling are illustrated through advertisement how to participate in gambling and there are lures in such a way that children can be very attracted to it. That's why I think all these ads should not be broadcast on TV. The government of every country should take steps towards this. Otherwise, one day the country will be full of gambling addiction.

You make it sounds as if education was not good enough to face the problem of not wanting your kids to get into the gambling world.
We should not underestimate what a small lesson about Math , statistics and the laws of game can do, so anyone is aware on the actual chances of getting money out a casino.

Kids are more intelligent than people think. So if one has a 8-10 year old son, it would be advisable to start to talk to them about chances, it is simple enough, one can use a coin or a dice to start. In most universities where science and engineering is taught, those are recurrent subjects anyways (more complex, of course).

But governments won't do that cause if they do then the next generation will really know what is salary and they will be smart enough to know that salary is just something other than modern slavery and why governments keep pumping their paper as money and as much as they want. So they are just gonna keep what they do now and let it slide by making an impression that they are doing something for the society while in reality they are trying to keep them uneducated,.

I think don't lie to them.
When they ask what it is, just give them an idea of ​​how harmful it is, especially to children.
Just tell the truth so they will understand when they grow up.

Because for me if you lie to them and they find out the truth they might learn it the wrong way and try it.
In today's time we can't avoid children knowing this, because there are many influencers out there promoting it even though they know many children are watching it. It's widespread now in our country that influencers promote any adds about gambling

maybe because where you live prohibits gambling or has a law prohibiting gambling, is that true?
well, if its true, it natural that you will never see gambling advertisements on your TV, but if you say you are very disturbed by seeing online gambling advertisements on the application you have on your smartphone, I think it your own fault. I mean you often open gambling sites or always look for information or anything about gambling on Google. so that Google will automatically provide suggestions for gambling advertisements and will spread them to several social media that you have.
and if you want to avoid this problem there are several ways to block gambling ads and these methods are in another thread that you can practice yourself.

This is the sad reality that we do have on this world or society on which government would really be trying out their best to make them look good but in behind with those movements then there's always lie those kind of intents on which its not really that shocking anymore. They would be always mindful about theirselves as long it would really be benefiting them out and not really that mindful
or in concern on what are the possible effects then they dont really care at all. This is why on the time that you do see those gambling ads on your TV then if you do have a child
then this is where parenting do kicks in. If you dont like for your children to go with that gambling path because of some curiosity basing up on what they had seen on the screen
then us parents or guardians should really be doing things which is a must thing to be done. There's no way on stopping these ads if they are been that totally allowed
or something legal.

These days kids easily understand what is being promoted through advertisements. These gambling platforms make advertisements showing simple games that are commonly played. Anyone would easily fall for it, and think of giving it a try.

Gambling is business for the owners. This makes them promote it through all possible means and enjoy the revenue. In the advertisement they just give disclaimer which is according to the broadcasting rules. When they're briefed and the real probability is understood people surely take gambling in the right way than falling for it.

If you're using cables, there are options to evade such incessant ad,... Privacy for Children can solve that too.
How long we gonna hide what from them?? Have you ever explained what shows on TV set to your children?? That's absolutely unnecessary. You seee, children are really sensitive especially over the things they see, talkmore of explaining anything to Thier understanding.
The solution is; if you don't gamble at all, they ain't gonna be any chance for them to learn. You should be a major role model for your kids yeahh?

That is true. If your problem that those online ads will also affect your kids because they might see it more often, then set the notifications off and refrain from watching gambling videos or games. That's the only way to block those ads and stop them from appearing on your screen. Gambling is actually fun and profitable for us, but if those will already become a threat for our kids, then it's better to minimize those acts until you get used to live even without gambling.

There are different types of gambling ads and they are allowed to run without restrictions in my country. I noticed that they always end with "gamble responsibly". But they make no effort to ensure that their custyrw doing so.
Another type of gambling ad that is allowed is lottery ads. This counta as gambling right? There are ads on them too but people don't take them too seriously like they do with conventional gambling.

There may be guidelines regulating casinos as I don’t think they would be allowed to run without any restrictions. Why do you think they always remind people to gamble responsibly if they are not required to do so? Do you think they actually care about people being responsible when gambling? They don’t. They’re there to make profits and would love to have people irresponsible and careless with money, play more.

How then do you propose casinos enforce responsible gambling among their customers? Do you think it’s in their best interests?

For me, I think you can tell them but only if they ask. Children have their way of getting answers and trust me, you want them to hear it from you rather than from an outsider. So, just like you teach them what is good and bad, let them know the huge disadvantages that come with it. Let them know that it is and should never be an option that they should look up to. Give them examples of people who lost everything because of gambling. I believe that this way, if anyone speaks of gambling, they'll remember what dad told them.

Some countries are very liberal on gambling ads and this is not good for the morale of the households the community should ask their government for restrictions, we don't have this in our country because our government is lenient to our religion's teaching of restricting gambling, although our lottery is government run and funded they are not posting ads on private television network they just show the ads on government-run TV which is not popular on every household.
Countries should make sure that gambling does not evoke minors' curiosity it's risky for them to see these ads while they are young.

In my country, gambling advertisements are not allowed on television. However, there are excessive ads on social media platforms such as Facebook. If your children ask you what it is? You should explain them precisely and don't lie. Explain to them that they can't gamble at their age since there's a restriction of only 18+ above. Show them the negative consequences of gambling, such as addiction and its impact on one's life.


We need to closely monitor and guide children due to their natural curiosity.

Children have their own way of finding answers but often ask their parents about something. And they want to know what their parents think about what they ask so that they might ask more questions. We can also explain to them correctly and not lie so they can get the correct information from us as parents. We can give examples and consequences so that they can think about what will happen to their future if they gamble. They will remember what their father taught them and try to avoid it because it will not bring them any good.

If only education system of every country was so good then there would be intelligent people today all around the world.
But the fact is that there are a lot of stupid people than intelligent ones. Coming to the topic, I feel it is absolutely required for a parent to monitor his children.
If we don't then chances are there that he/she might wrong decisions which they should have avoided.
Guiding our children to the right path should be the first priority.

Exactly, you will guide your child so that he does not go astray. We can't really avoid introducing gambling to them now because there are many influencers out there or others promoting it. Others can also be found in add-ons so please always be careful in your actions.

Well, it's true that the internet has changed the dynamics of a lot of things, especially if we talk about advertisements. People may still watch in some parts of the world, but it's not as often as it used to be before when smartphones and the internet were not as popular or used as much as they are being used right now. Nowadays, people are mostly online doing anything, so companies and firms choose to advertise their products and services on the internet more than making TV commercials.

So, online advertisements nowadays are way more effective than TV commercials because the target audience sitting in front of TVs is smaller in number than those who are available online, and it's way easier to reach your targeted audience through online ads compared to commercials aired on TV.

Most of those casinos are advertising online because they know that they can freely do this without limited restriction and they can spread their business thru the help of influencers. They can easily do that online since if i;m not mistaken there's no law yet sue those influencers for promoting any casino that they want that's why we can see a lot of advertisement thru the video we watch online. In TV we can't see this since they are been disallowed to do so maybe due to the law imposed that against promoting it to their jurisdictions.

Online advertisement became their option since this is more cheapest and less hassle for them since they can easily gain traffic because most of the people right now are spending a lot of time online rather than watching TV at home.

Everything need to be taught, any parents shouldn't have a thought like bad things must no to be taught because it will make their kids try it. Every kids have their own choice, even the parents are a doctor, they must not force their kids to become a doctor too.

So that's why the best is teach everything, explain both of the advantages and disadvantages, let them choose their journey and the risk of choosing that.

Never. My country strictly prohibits gambling. it's not easy to advertise, right? it should be illegal and should not be advertising. but I'm sure not all countries make gambling illegal. I'm sure some countries which they might say are developed countries are more accepting of gambling. then it will probably be better because there is an industry coming in, even though it is bad if it is addicted but it must be admitted that gambling is also a gaming industry.

I think for gambling advertisements only a few countries do that because indeed for my country gambling is still not allowed and is still illegal for all parties to consume even though there are still some conditions where some places for gambling exist but this is still something taboo.
Especially if it is used as an advertisement, it seems that this still does not exist and is unlikely to happen in my country.
For the problem of gambling advertisements on television, there should be some rules that must be set even if the government allows gambling but there must be restrictions where gambling advertisements must be at certain times so as not to be seen by children.

Gambling ads are often seen on TV channels. Banner ads of various gambling sites are seen especially in different cricket and football match like I saw ads of sportsbet.io some time on TV but it was banner ads on football League match. And if you talk about social media like Facebook, YouTube then I would say gambling sites use this platform the most for their advertisement. And the sites that have already earned a lot of revenue run ads on TV because running ads on TV is very costly.

With guidance from their parents, we can direct them not to gamble. We have to be able to explain gambling clearly so that they don't get the wrong information. We can also set the device not to display advertisements that are not suitable for children so that these advertisements do not influence them. And don't let them use their devices for too long because that can make them lazy to do other things. If they are too busy with their devices, they will not care about their surroundings because they are more concerned with their devices and updates from their social media.

Whether it's the truth or the wrong info, kids will want to try out when your are not around the house, it's better you ignore them and change the topic of discussion, kids are getting smatter day by day.

As far as today and civilization is concern, lying to your kids will do them more harm than good but I will pretend that I don't know about anything that has to do with sensitive content, will teach them about that when I think it's right. When your run from truth, that's the when they turn inquisitive of that and want to try that especially when gambling has advertisement of trying out service that are been air on those channels and I don't want to wake up and see my niece doing what I do at my adult age, no kids of mine yet.  8)

Personally, when I have or if I'm in such situations of gambling ads, I will change the channels for the sake of my kids doing what I may not know about, satellite TV stations have restricted way of muting some channels and password them. If I know that the kids will go to that level of watching that channels behind my back, I will lock it, we will not watch that again but I may but only if they are asleep or not around the house.

If you are from the developing country citizen,you will surely had come across the advertisement in the Television.The advertising in the television will affect the huge population including the children to the gambling game.Because all set of the age group was watching the television.So they get some curiosity in the practise of the game.But the old age people also start to gamble after the televising advertisement because the ad will trigger their feeling in the gambling from their young age memories.

There will always be a gambling ads. And the probability of kids getting exposed to these ads is very high. There is nothing a parent can do about the ads because it is out of their control but when it comes to the kids a responsible parent must not hide anything that he or she knows will be damaging to the kid's future away from the kid. You must be truthful about what the ad is about and what it entails. We know that gambling in itself is not bad but what is bad is when it is over done. These are the points that an intentional parents must emphasize to his or her kids when talking to them about gambling in the case that an ad pops up on television.

The number of kids that will give their attention to those ads is not very high, so most parents will be able to get away with it without doing anything.

I think a more important lesson is to teach kids from an early age about how the economy and money works, and if you add teaching them the value of money as well then most likely you will not have anything to worry about, as even if other kids were to expose them to gambling, they will simply not be very interested in it due to the lessons you have imparted to them.

I think it only applies in some countries or is allowed in some countries because in my country, TV channels are not allowed to advertise anything related to gambling, as we have what we call the "MTRCB," or "Movie and Television Review and Classification Board," which is in charge of reviewing anything that is shown on television. What you should also worry about is social media, because gambling advertisements are more prominent on that platform, and by clicking the link, your child could easily access the website, accidentally or not.

Yes, that's right, I've also seen gambling advertisements on TV as you mentioned above, even at that time I was watching with my children, and I immediately changed the TV channel so that my children wouldn't ask what was in the advertisement. . . , because it is not time for me to provide an understanding of gambling and its impacts.
However, if gambling advertisements appear on YouTube, for example, it is difficult to stop them because parental supervision can sometimes be missed and not optimal when children are playing on gadgets. This is very worrying especially for parents.

Although that's correct, but the OP is pointing out those ads you have seen in a sport channel.
I understand the local TV channels doesn't usually allow these kind of ads, but in most sports channel I guess they have this  kind of an immunity in airing gambling or casino ads. Well, of course it is understandable because it is not a kids channel in the first place, but I've heard there were also limits.
I've often heard that casino being broadcast as a form of ads in the NBA.
So, I guess it's hard for us to keep our child away from watching his favourite sport, especially that you have plans on making him an athlete soon. Best thing to do for now is to lie about it, they'll probably understand when they're on our shoes soon.

And I agree that gambling advertising on television is prohibited, because television is the most common device and is often watched by all ages. Especially underage children because most of them watch television in their free time or on holidays.
So in my opinion it is not appropriate for them to watch, and if they often see gambling advertisements on television it will make them feel curious, and if they access or download because they are curious it will have a bad impact on them.
And I'm sure all parents love their children and will definitely oppose gambling advertisements on television, and that doesn't mean they think gambling is bad, but certainly for certain age groups. While this is the case in some countries, I'm sure some parents would be uncomfortable with gambling advertising on television because they don't want their children involved.

You are right because there are so many advertisements on social media now and gambling advertisements that anyone can see. Apart from that, the advertisement is made as attractive as possible to attract attention and many people will click and visit the link. Also now people, adults and children can access gambling sites easily and if they find it blocked by their country, they can look for other ways to continue visiting the gambling site. Children may not often see advertisements on television, but the ease of using the internet can enable them to visit gambling sites by chance.

While that eliminates a worry for the parents living in your country, there are simply too many avenues for kids to learn about gambling today, and as you mention it is way more likely that kids these days will find out about it when using their smartphones than when watching TV.

However unlike TV the internet cannot be regulated that easily, and with this in mind parents need to talk to their kids about this topic so they are prepared in the case some of their friends gamble and decide to invite them to the activity.

Gambling isn't that legal in my country. But still there are many international sport channels where authorities use to show us gambling adds and promote many websites even some banners at boundaries while watching those channels on TV cause gambling websites & authorities are sponsors of such sporting activities for their promotion. But honestly kids don't care about those, when i was kid I didn't notice such things. But if you found your kids asking you such thing then don't lie but explain & give them gambling education. Mentioned bad sides & aware them not to involve with gambling. Be responsible enough and check their activities.

Spending long hours on screen is not encouraged for both adults and kids. Eye straining blurs the views of kids, growing up. In the process, if not attended to the parents will have to spend money treating eye problems. Gambling ads will pop up for kids and not all would bother asking what it's about. They'll look it up on Google and when they discover it's a game, the child would want to participate. Parents are required to keep a close look at every online activity a child gets involved in. Neglecting a few observations on the kids exposes them to lots of dangerous ads that go beyond gambling. And can destroy the future of the child, due to the loads of fake information he'll be feeding himself. The ads we see on stadiums can't be regulated for kids. Both those watching on television and the kids in the stadium get to see the ads. If they insist on knowing it's quite an advantage to help that child understand the age requirement for gambling.

Just like in the case of beer, kids see those ads and don't bother about drinking it as it's obvious the drink is not for children. I deem it right for a child to be outspoken in asking such questions to his parents rather than Google. On the other hand, parents should build a strong relationship with their children such that they'll be able to ask questions directly to them. It'll reduce the rate of time they spend reading answers on blogs. Helping them focus on other real-life activities like spending time with fellow kids in their environment. Though the environment isn't safe too, we should keep up with our close relationship and ask calculative questions to the kids on the outcome of their daily activities. Other than watching football games a child wouldn't see too many gambling ads. They can only see gaming ads on cartoon channels and also develop an interest in playing video games until they get to the appropriate age of wondering about gambling or participating in the game.

Gambling ads are not regulated in my country too, you'll see celebrities advertising different spots bets on tv, billboards and social media sites. As a matter of fact, the rate at which sports bet and lotto shops are springing up in every corners of the country is very alarming. You'll see the young and old trooping in to make bets, and these has become a norm that we're compelled to accept. Out if curiosity my young son was asking me what they sale in this shop that a lot of people enters and comes out from morning till night? It was a popular lotto shop annex, I had to tell him the truth of what people do in lotto shops and most importantly educated him on the harzards of gambling and addiction, after the lecture he promised me that he'll never enter a place like that. So in essence it's to educate our underaged children and dependants on the dangers of gambling ads that they see everytime.

Yeah I've seen many gambling advertisements on Tv and most of indian sport channels plays those advertisement during live Match so that more and more people can know about that gambling ads and visit that specific website/organizations. And of course this is bad for kids when they  turns into a decent age where you can't stopped for long by telling lies. But i haven't found any solution except you subscribe paid subscription for ads free channels. but there are many ways like some banners will still get highlighted at boundaries or many more. Team actually needs money for fulfill the expense of matches and they look healthy amount of money for those advertisement

First, you should refrain or stop on necroposting a particular thread specially if it's already that having no recent replies and this one has been already no response for 2 months+.So making out that some replies wont be that much recommended.

Going back about ads on tv then here in our country's cable provider which it's been that moderated if we do speak about gambling or betting ads. There might be one but it's only shown into those sports dedicated channels.

No direct television advertising. However, if we look at sports matches that are broadcast on TV, sponsors such as Stake.com, sportbet.io also often appear in the sponsor's logo.

Live gambling advertisements will never happen on television in my country. Because gambling is considered illegal. If you use YouTube or social media, lots of gambling advertisements appear.

I have seen a lot of casino advertising on TV but basically things can be done differently because they are different in view of a fiat money base and not crypto, I don't know if with casinos that are crypto based because things change, or at least in some countries they allow it, but until now I always see a lot of tc, but I don't see casino Advertising, I do see Casino ads at Football matches on billboards, Especially from sportstbet.io and casinos like that , but advertising that is done regarding casinos in Particular , such as one that I see a lot is from: casino.com, and I don't Remember the Name of the All casinos but those casinos are very famous and are very popular so that the oersons let them know through the advertisements, and based on this we are very emphatic in everything, for this we have to do everything possible so that we are but aware that I see in the Channels , that Obviously they are not of In my country but in other countries I have not even seen the great propaganda of a Crypto casino, and it strikes me that it is like this.

So if this happens, then things can be like that, in this sense we have to be very aware of what we are saying, and well, another one that I have seen is from Colombian channels where they basically show casinos that are local, now if we are looking for the way to look for more and better advertising because they should take the risk that things can be seen more intensely if it appears on all the ladies' TVs because there they can reach the eyes of the biggest casino gamblers, especially those who are watching football and any sport, in this case we have to be very emphatic, I have not seen so far things with casinos that have to do with Bitcoin, nor with cryptocurrencies, it would be excellent if they could apply this advertising and on the radio, it seems incredible because Even on radio and TV, including prey is the best.

Here in our country, gambling ads are not allowed on TV, you can only see gambling ads on social media, YouTube, but mostly on social media because of vloggers. It's about your kid, tell him the truth, tell him that gambling is bad for a child, educate him. Your child will understand you, just let him know properly that he is not ready for such things, it is too dangerous for the child. +points for me when the child's parents don't gamble or the child doesn't see his parents gambling, others because they see their parents gambling so the children get curious and try too.

If the gambling was legal one in your country,you can watch the game in various places including the television.Most of the time the gamblers able to watch the advertisements in the YouTube and the application used in their play store.Because the gambling advertising was allowed in your country because of the funds given to the country by the way of taxes.The small country will try to illegal the gambling,because they don’t want to cut their economy in the way of the money spreads in the gambling site.Instead the gamblers can do the gambling in their own gambling site by skipping the play of the gambling in the other application front the other countries.

You're right. If kids see these kinds of ads, it may affect them at a young age. It can change how they think about gambling and may make it seem normal to them. Parents should talk openly to their kids and educate them about the risks and effects of gambling, for them to be aware and teach kids how to think critically.

It depends, and if it is in a normal show/program, that is the irresponsibility of the advertising regulation agency of your country, they should even be fined or their boss resign. But in your case, nothing is bad about it. You know what, a lot of things are happening that people are only turning a blind eye to, but later, it will be an issue. I hope they do not make that mistake in important programs that children can also watch. Gambling is an adult activity and inasmuch as the law doesn't want the underage to participate in it, they should not tempt them as well. It is highly irresponsible of them to be advertising such unless there is a disclaimer in the entire program where they warn of 18+. If not, parents can even sue them if they want, only that people do not think towards that angle.

Now, for clarity's sake, it is not taboo to advertise gambling companies on TV, but programs matter. For example, in football programs and others, such can be done. Still, in most cases that I've witnessed, they will just have the banner hanging around a section of the screen, and not saying anything relating to gambling directly. By this, adults will fully understand what they mean.

At my country there are gambling ads on TV, but they are so rare, that there is little to worry about. Food retail chains and shopping malls ads mostly dominate on our local TV. Maybe this is due to gambling get special regulation for TV in country, maybe this is due to tv time being expensive. Because on various streaming and video platforms, I face gambling ads all the time. My attitude to them is either neutral or negative due to showing to frequently.

I rarely watch TV with advertising these days, the rise of the streaming platforms also meant that I am really sensible to advertising now and will avoid it as much as possible. So, I am not really sure if there are many gambling ads in my country at the moment. What I do know is that there are a lot of other forms of gambling ads, like public posters, flyers or the most visible ones are on the side of cars. Because of all the casino lights and the pictures are usually taken at night the ads look pretty cool. When asked by kids about them I think it's important to stay honest and not lie to them. My nephew is almost 10 and he gets very interested in new topics. I tell him that it's gaming for adults that involve money and you need to be 18. When he is still interested when he turns 18 I am happy to take him to a casino and teach him about the games.

Kids are like sponges, soaking up everything they see and hear. Those ads can make gambling seem fun and harmless, which is, well, not the case. So, how do we keep our little ones from getting sucked into that world?

First things first, ditch the beatdown plan. Trust me, scaring your kid straight with a gambling beatdown  is not the way to go. It'll just create fear and distrust, not understanding. Think of it like teaching them about crossing the street. You point out the dangers, explain the rules, but you also talk about the fun things they can do on the other side, right? Same deal with gambling.

Media literacy is your friend! Teach your kid to be like a detective, analyzing those ads and figuring out their tricks. Are they using celebrities or flashy visuals to make it seem cool? Are they promising quick money without mentioning the risks? Once they see through the BS, they'll be less likely to fall for it. On top of that, set some boundaries. Use parental controls, choose channels with fewer gambling ads, and maybe even have a "no gambling ads" rule during family TV time.

But remember, it's not just about saying no. Offer alternatives! Get them involved in activities they love, like sports, music, or that cool coding club they've been eyeing. The more they have going on, the less likely they are to be drawn towards something risky like gambling.

Different countries have different laws and policies when it comes to gambling and it's advertisments on national TV stations. In some countries gambling advertisments are not allowed on national TVs at all for the sake of children as the government are more concerned in protecting the kids from getting gambling knowledge at young age while in other countries, gambling advertisments are only shown on the national TV during midnight hours when the kids must have gone to bed but in some other countries, gambling advertisments are shown on national TV even during the day time.

In my own country, gambling advertisments is shown on national TV during the day especially when football games are being shown on the TV and that I think is very bad as it exposes the young children to gambling at very tender age.

I think we will not be able to completely prevent some shows that involve or that have elements of gambling promotion to limit their promotional shows on several media such as TV channels or other platforms because now is the digital era that all things we can find by just looking and carrying, a lot of references and knowledge that we can get on the internet because indeed on the other hand the internet has become an important part for several companies to develop their business because it is the internet that is their biggest promotional place, and we can find many things whether positive or negative.

So the point is that we as parents must make plans that lead to prevention in any way that we think makes sense, and one of them may be by limiting the activities carried out by a child who is still underage who does have a high enough curiosity about something they see, I think limiting them from the association of the environment along with limiting them from using social media is a good step to minimize.

I think for some TV channels they usually advice parental guardians for some programs that are rated as such so for such program we could ask the children not to watch such channels, for TV where there's parental controls on them they would permit such to be shown on the tv as the parental control will cause a restriction on the channel.

I'm actually advising the usage of parental controls on our TV if we don't want our kids exposed to certain things as this because when they are exposed to it they would ask questions as it's in their nature to be curious and want to have an idea into almost everything they see around so the only way out will have to be to reduce their exposure to such things, for kids channels the don't permit such ads because they know the kids aren't their target audience and so such shouldn't be displayed on their channels but in a case where they happen to see it probably when you watching TV with them you could tell them to ignore it as it doesn't concern them.

I think I know what country you are from  ;) And if bookmakers are classified as gambling (obviously this is how it should be), then advertising is quite widespread. For example, all football analytics are accompanied by sponsors, which are bookmakers. In addition, in the top division of your country there is a football club that changed its name in honor of one of the bookmakers (this is "Parlay" from Nizhny Novgorod).

Be my guest and try to guess ;D But I will give you a hint - Russian is a mother language in our family, but the national language is different in the country. You are correct with “bookies” are what is mostly advertised. Not slots of lotteries for example. Even though I think we still have or had a lottery that was aired on TV. Cant comment on the football, as I dont follow it. Maybe we have clubs that are sponsores with bookmakers. I dont know. I dont watch TV much, or maybe I am watching wrong channels ;D

The laws regarding gambling in different countries vary, advertisements of a gambling nature can be shown on television in countries where they are permitted (Legal). In several other countries where gambling is considered illegal or does not have permission from the government, gambling advertising may not be permitted. Maybe the gambling site you see on television is a sponsor of that sport.

Tell your child the truth. Tell your child the truth, lies will make him respect you less when he knows the real facts. If you don't want your children to get caught up in gambling, avoid them from anything related to gambling.

I've not seen any gambling adverts on TV while growing up, but stylishly I believe its available in cartoons, wheels of fortune, turn, turn, turn, that's one of the cartoon shows I used to watch, there are card games in cartoons as well, but they did it for fun, there was no money betting revealed, it's just the you lose or you win.

There was a time when I was watching a soccer match and the banner on the field are displaying a gambling website, while the match was ongoing this caught my attention, I was like, this must have cost the company a lot of money, I believe that gambling advert still exists on TV but in a indirect form.

Normally we can't get the same casino adverts that streamers used to do on TV, this will corrupt every children in every home, if this happens I will probably get rid of my TV for my kids sake.

Yes, it is difficult to prevent what we see on TV channels, especially if such advertisements are continuously broadcast to attract viewers' interest to visit online or offline casinos. Moreover, technology has developed more rapidly than a few years ago and is very different. We can only control the time they watch shows on TV while providing insight and understanding so that they are not influenced by what they see on TV. Children who watch advertisements or other things on TV or internet channels will be easily influenced by what they see and follow it without thinking about the impact.

We as parents should be able to guide our children to prevent them from doing things that could have bad consequences and also limit what they are not allowed to know. That is to give them understand that they are still children who do not need to know many things at their age. Their great curiosity must be diverted to positive things to develop in a positive direction and not do bad things.

Even countries where gambling is legal should ban ads on TV because it's not unknown by the authorities that kids watch TV as well, and this thing can have a pretty bad influence on them if they see those gambling and casino advertisements. I believe some countries such as Australia have taken such steps and have banned gambling advertisements both on TV and online spaces which are social media and other locations on the internet.

In countries where gambling is already illegal, TV channels don't allow casino or gambling-related advertisements and you won't even see such ads online unless you search a lot about them and then get targeted ads based on advertisement algorithms of Google and other ads services.

This is why we do have that MTRCB
Movie and Television Review and Classification Board

Even if its really that legal but its not really that something that should really be shown in national television.Here in our country on which i've seen
these gambling ads is on the time that im watching some sport dedicated channels on which i could say that it is really just that right
but if you do able to see into those other channels like cartoon based then it is really that already violating i should say.

This is why as a parent we should really be also attentive on what our kids really that watching in tv or even
on the things that they've been watching online.

Yes and the reason is because we do not have the right and power to regulate everything because all of that is beyond our ability individually and that means only the government in a country can limit or even prevent some promotional broadcasts in various channels because the government has the right and power to do so, and that means there is no other way if you really don't want your child to be affected by things like this especially what they see other than us limiting the activities carried out by a child, this is the only thing we can do for prevention so that things that are not wanted can be minimized a little. On the other hand, yes you have also said something that I said earlier that now is the digital era where everything we can get from the internet, especially science and other knowledge, so the point is that as much as possible we have to direct a child to things that are indeed more positive and along with limiting them, don't let them walk alone without monitoring from you as a parent.

Incidentally, in my country, gambling is illegal, so advertising in public places such as on banners or on TV doesn't exist because if there were, the advertising site would probably be blocked and it could be a big case. But even though it's illegal advertising on smartphones is still what's more there are lots of foreign gambling sites on the web, in fact almost every application on your cellphone has advertisements and sometimes gambling advertisements appear, which makes many people around me gamble online via cellphones and this is of course known by everyone children.

We can't always lie to children or the younger generation because over time they will also find out about this. Our role is only to provide education to children so that they don't gamble because it is not very good for their future. We need education from an early age because it can prevent generations young people explore things that are beyond their control because this is the same as providing education about the dangers of smoking and strictly prohibiting smoking at the age of under 18 years.

Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Yes but not like the real commercial ads but in football stadiums when you watch FIFA or World Champions you occasionally see stake.com ads on the football field.

My opinion is they are smart because they will be banned on TV channels everywhere because you know gambling but they choose international league so they can put their ads on footbal field and in some team shirts that is just a brilliant.

Opinion maybe some kids watch it but they didnt know what it is.

We should be the ones to prevent TV programs by restricting our children by permitting them to watch TV at certain times so that they will not watch TV outside of those hours. Maybe we should invite them to do activities outside the home so that they will get used to physical activities and not depend on activities at home. This is also to train them to get used to physical activity so that they don't mind if later, when they grow up, they also have to do a lot of physical activity. As parents, we must also be able to limit the use of devices connected to the internet because if they are not limited, they can access many things that they are not allowed to see. If children have been trained from an early age, they will start to get used to it and know what to do so that they will not fall into bad things and will also be able to adapt themselves to stay away from bad things they already know about.

Most often what we see is advertisements in football matches, broadcast on TV which can generally penetrate all circles of society who like soccer or other sports that get sponsorship from gambling platforms, whether small children, women, parents and anyone who watches international sports matches.

We can assume that small children do not care about what is seen on the clothes of each player or the opening of the match, but maybe not a few also ask their parents what is on the shirt, maybe when they were small they didn't care but growing up and being able to use gadgets will often pay attention to it and become curious and then try it, it is very possible. ???

Yes, I think this is quite simple and for this problem it really comes back to parents who do have full responsibility for their children, we are not not allowing a child to watch any channel, one of which is a show on TV but maybe along with that it would be nice to apply limits to the activities carried out by a child, On the other hand, we will not always be able to predict the schedule of shows on TV channels and that means it is very possible that when you only allow your child to watch at certain hours it turns out that at the same time there are shows that lead to negative things and one of them is the promotion of gambling, and a better solution is that you have to be next to them when they are watching TV shows or playing other social media because with this, you will have full control to prevent and divert your child's vision when there are shows that smell of gambling.

Or yes, it can also be like what you suggest where we divert a child's attention to many other things that are physical actions such as outdoor activities whether it is exercising which can indeed be healthy and improve a child's fitness. On the other hand of course directing a child to more positive things is a good action that will ultimately create good habits for themselves.

We do not forbid children from watching any channels, but we guide them to know which channels they can watch and which they cannot so they do not have negative thoughts about what they watch. We must be able to accompany them when they watch TV channels and provide understanding so they do not misinterpret it, especially if they accidentally watch negative things they are not allowed to watch. Many TV programs are free to watch people, including children, but if we as parents can accompany them, they will not watch TV programs that they do not deserve to see. Children are susceptible to advertisements or anything on TV channels where. They have a high curiosity to try it. But with our supervision, they can understand that they don't need to watch such TV channels.

We should invite our children to do physical activities, which can be useful for training their motor skills and thinking and can also help them socialize with other people. It will give them the ability to communicate with other people and an understanding that they are not alone and must be able to manage their activities. Exercising is also good for them so that their bodies are fit and they can train themselves physically.

Yeah I can also see some of these gambling ads here in my country. Popular artists are involved in this promotion but thses ads are negligible for kids as they might not be interested on it because on their young minds they don't think of it seriously unless it is clickable just like on social media that is what is alarming to me as most of kids nowadays knows how to operate things on their mobile phone they might get curious about it and decide to make a research on google or YouTube then it's a game over.

There are a lot more of those in India. Even dream11 and others could be considered as gambling in one way or another and they are major funders of tv broadcasts for sports. If you watch Football, there's 1xbet being sponsors for major leagues and other sportsbooks and casinos as main sponsors. Try to keep your kid away from it until he comes of age and has a better understanding of responsibilities and can make a better judgement. That's all one can hope for.

If you do have a cable TV and if your kids do really love on watching those different channels then they might be able to encounter those sports based channels on which it would really be happening that they would really be exposed into that on which it would really be might in resulting on having those probabilities that they would be able to see those ads. We do usually see these things on sports based channels.
This is why sometimes i do set up some child lock program in my TV specially if i do have some minors but since the kids nowadays into this era would really be playing around into their own
phone then im not really that worrying much in this regard.

The thing you would really be that be mindful is seeing into those shitty contents that social media does have. So this is where parenting would really be crucial or something important.
We cant really stop those gambling based advertisement on which of course they would be focusing into that specific channel on which its normal.

Everyone know about that, but the reality there are still a lot young people become gambler or end up in other addictions. That's because the parents don't have much time to teach and control their children, most parents choose to work because they think money is the most important, so they leave their children to babysitters.

Babysitters don't care with your children, all they do is fulfill their job desk, that's all. They won't give more effort or special treatment like their' own children.

That means everything will come back to the upbringing of each parent because without proper upbringing from their parents, young people will not be able to control themselves well in many things. They will tend to behave as they please without paying attention to whether it is good or bad, wrong or right because they just want all their wishes to be obeyed. It's okay for parents to work for their children, but they must also follow their children's development and always supervise them. By always approaching your children, you can create a good relationship between parents and children so that they know how to behave when socializing with other people.

However, most parents nowadays only entrust their children to be looked after by babysitters, and only a few babysitters are willing to educate their children well. Meanwhile, other babysitters won't care about this because they are just working.

This is interesting. I haven't seen any gambling advertisements being showed in our local television here in the Philippines. I guess that our government strictly mandated that all forms of advertisement with regard to gambling should be only limited to online ads as hosting it on television can greatly influence the young kids potentially exposing them to this risk.

Even with strict parental guidance while watching television with our children, there are some instances where they can become curious on their own and explore this by themselves. So for safety, I guess gambling ads should NOT exist on television.


I agree that it is the obligation of parents to supervise our children for the betterment of their welfare. But you must also keep in mind that there are circumstances that are beyond the control of parents in which it may caught us off guard. This is the reason on why prevention is always better than cure.

I think advertisers choses on what program they'll run their advertisements, it's mostly on adults program like sports. Based on what I observed, what I watch games like NBA, I always see advertisements during break time, and they are using a popular celebrity,  like Kevin Hart advertising Draftking.

Maybe there are some kids that might be watching sports, but they'll just ignore it if they don't understand it. That's why on some programs, there are some warnings like parental guidance advisory.

Yeah, that's right, it's parental guidance is the keyword. Actually gambling is not bad, otherwise it's already ban. As parents, we just have to be responsible by making sure we guide our children as curiousity may sometimes lead them to the wrong way. And it's not only on TV, there's a bigger advertisements in the internet, and  nowadays, we have our children already open to the internet world with just one click or tap away, they can access what they want, including gambling for sure.

In countries where gambling is legal and regulated, promotion for it is very common.
For instance here in Greece there's very few things you can find without a gambling site sponsorship. They sponsor podcasts, web-shows but also even more for traditional TV media.

Their ads sponsor almost every TV-Show these days. They're everywhere. They have too much money and are eager to keep growing their customer base to the maximum extent.
However this is proving to be a bit of an issue because right now our country doesn't have the best financial situation. Many people are overworked and still can not pay their bills. Many people in such dire situations get addicted and now there's no adequate infrastructure to provide mental health support for these people.

In my opinion a country should allow wider promotion for casinos via TV ads only if it is deemed that the state can provide adequate mental health services to all those in need addiction support.

You have a point, but please keep in your mind that there's also a minor viewers in television so we need to atleast consider them.
It is also better that when gambling is promoted on television, not only the positive effects are told, it is also necessary to have disclaimers. if you look, there are too many advertisements on social media today, and we know that many young people are more active on social media, so at their young age, they already know about gambling, and they even use fake identity and age just to gamble.

If it’s legal and allowed in a country, why still should there be a ban for casinos to advertise and make themselves known to the public? Also, I don’t think gambling ads have that much of an effect on young children as you seem to think. They’re more likely to ignore such advertisements as the ads aren’t designed as they’re aren’t intended for young minds.

The responsibility of raising kids right rests primarily with the parents. People won’t just give up legal activities they enjoy because it could have a bad influence on your kid. If you as a parent dislike certain activities and advertisements cause you think it might influence your kid, it’s on you to make adjustments to suit your preferences for your kid and not to clamor for its outright ban.

I have never seen advertisements on television about gambling and casino sites but in today's era online and social media these gambling advertisements create such a disturbing environment that is always displayed on the mobile display. Facebook, YouTube, and various Tik Tok channels are currently full of advertisements for these gambling and casino sites. However, it has been officially banned in my country, so no television authority advertises this gambling and casino site. However, advertising on YouTube and Facebook about gambling and casino sites quickly became widely known.

Yes, addiction with young people is a real thing and sadly it's not just about the traditional gambling schemes. Even with the most popular gaming platform, Steam, big part of their money making ndeavours is that they allow people to buy, sell and trade virtual items that can be acquired through supposed random drops. So this is one of the first signs of addiction for young people. They didn't need the TV or anything to tell them, it was shoved into their face since even before their teens maybe simply for playing a game. Facebook and instagram do similar things with their ads, promoting unlicensed slots games.

So really the issue is not just TV when it comes to children. 

Gambling advertising are irritating but indicative of a wider issue. They exploit the hope of a quick resolution for deep financial problems. Your Greece insight shows what not to do. These firms are in it for the money, and they'll push hard wherever they can

It's not just about stopping commercials. Understanding the beast is key. Be wiser, nations. It's about creating an environment where people don't need to gamble their worries away, not just plastering adverts everywhere. Yes, mental health support is important. Also, financial education, accessible alternatives to financial relief, and strong control of how and where these companies can promote. The issue must be addressed at its source, not merely the leaves. If a government can't provide a holistic solution, it shouldn't let these commercials spread

Well, I also see some ads of the gambling casino on my TV during a match but those sites are either local or not so popular. I never played at those sites.
Also, I believe that most of the sportsbooks do not target the TV audience for gambling marketing. They would rather focus on social media as they know that youth are mostly active on social media more than anything else.


Well, i do not understand if children can get influenced by just gambling ads on TV and not see any other wrong advertisements  ??? Today is the era of Internet and mobile phones and they can see a lot of things that they should not see. I guess the parents have to play their part here in telling children what is good for them and what is bad for them. Also, parents can guide the minors that these ads are basically money driven by the companies and all the ads may not necessarily display good products or services.

Most of these adverts are done on sports channels and I don't see anything wrong with a child watching football. The reason why most of this football betting website prefers advertising on a football channel is because the audience they need are ones watching football. It is difficult to see an individual who doesn`t watch football to be involved in sports betting.

We have recommended cartoons for kids but some of these cartoons have erotic content capable of corrupting our kids so what should we do? Parenting the child from watching TV? Even exposing them to physical activity doesn`t mean that they are immune from being corrupted. We should understand the role of peers on kids and even as parents if we are careful not to expose our kids to gambling-related content, what about other careless parents? Personal observation shows that most times friends emulate gambling habits from friends. A friend taught me how to gamble and I know it is similar to other persons because I have taught some of my guys how to gamble too. As a parent, you can only do your best but unfortunately, your best doesn`t change anything.

Steam has blurred the barriers between games and virtual goods. The blend is addictive, especially for young, unsuspecting brains drawn into the purchase, sell, and trade cycle for the next "rare" drop. This is a discreetly inserted digital age gambling gateway, not just a gameplay oddity.

Yes, Facebook and Instagram reinforce this, but in different ways. Their captivating algorithms promote unlawful slots games, making gambling seem respectable on social media. It sneaks past television and into regular digital encounters.

Promoting fun gambling requires defining responsible participation. Gambling and winning can be part of a balanced entertainment diet. It requires awareness and control, especially when the digital and real merge and ensnare the young. Its about creating a culture where enjoyment thrives on educated choice and moderation, not vulnerability.

The gambling was legal in some countries,So the gambling site will publish their advertising in the mobile application and even in the television.The television was the easiest way to reach even the layman,So the gamblers with less skill will reach the gambling site.But if they are really not good skill person,the initial games in the gambling site will give them the loss.But the sad part in this was the gambler start to target the previous loss in the gambling site.The gamblers are advice to play the initial games with less money capital.Because till the gamblers learn the game the outcome will be negative one in gambling site.

The legality of gambling in some countries of the world is absolutely different from legality of advertising gambling activities on the television. I've been able to see countries that accepts gambling as a legal engagement by her citizens but forbids the advertisement of gambling in their national TVs because to them, they believe that advertising gambling on national TVs is going to expose underage children to gambling at early stage which might ruin their future.
That being said, I don't think such regulations are practiced in my country because gambling advertisments are shown on national TVs even during the day.

I rarely see gambling advertisements on national television because gambling in some countries still regulates illegal gambling in regulations, but gambling advertisements are often seen at international football matches or at fighting events, but gambling advertisements can still be seen in online advertisements on several social media, even some Gambling applications are still available on Playstore without being blocked by the government even though the community has reported that the gambling application is against the law, there are indications that the application is controlled by certain individuals so that it is not blocked, even though it has been reported, it seems that the government is slowly allowing online gambling activities to be installed application gambling in playstore.

That is a concerning aspect of gambling, particularly in countries where it's legal and advertising is widespread. Television and mobile applications indeed serve as powerful platforms for gambling sites to reach a broad audience, including those who may not have much experience or skill in gambling. It's unfortunate that inexperienced gamblers often face losses initially, which can lead to a cycle of chasing those losses in an attempt to recoup them. This pattern can be detrimental to people's financial and emotional well-being.

The advice for gamblers to start with smaller amounts of money until they learn the games is sound. Developing an understanding of the mechanics and risks involved in gambling is crucial before committing significant capital. Responsible gambling practices, such as setting limits on time and money spent, can help mitigate the negative outcomes associated with gambling. They need to have awareness about the potential pitfalls of gambling and responsible gambling behaviors, because it's important steps in addressing these issues within society.

No, I don't see advertisements for gambling on television in my nation because it doesn't apply here. I do, however, see advertisements for gambling on Facebook and YouTube, and the truth is that there is nothing we can do to stop them—unless we ban our kids from using the internet or other technology altogether—to prevent them from seeing these kinds of advertisements. Thus, when our kids watch gambling advertisements on television, it could lead to them having unrealistic expectations about the possible gains from gambling. Because such advertisements for gambling, of course, often portray gambling as a glamorous and thrilling pastime and only highlight the potential for huge financial gains, leaving their viewers—especially the younger ones—in the dark about the potential risks.
 
It would therefore be ideal, in my opinion, if you could explain to your children that such kinds of games are intended for adults alone and that playing them could be harmful to them.

One of the things that our kids could be able to see those gambling related things is that they could be able to see it through online on which we know that on this era on which mobile phone is already considered to be a necessity into someones life on which there's always those chances or odds that they would really be that exposed with gambling and this is something that you should really be looking upon as a parent. You would really be that vigilant and really be that attentive if ever you've seen some potential gambling dealing in secret. Although you cant really be able to spot it out easily
on which it would really be that best that you should really make out those explaination into them on what it is,and on how to avoid it.

A child can watch football and see the advertisements so they can easily see gambling advertisements on TV channels or the internet. The advertisements featured a list of casinos that sponsored the games and if the kids were interested in the advertisements, they would visit the betting site and try to find out. This can be the beginning of children's interest in gambling and if there is no supervision from their parents or other adults, they will start gambling without their parents' knowledge.

Children's cartoons also have an appearance that is not good for children because, as you said, there is an erotic appearance of the cartoon characters that are shown, and this can also arouse children's curiosity. Only supervision and education from their parents can keep their children away from bad things like that, especially since they are still developing and curious about things. Parents also have to be wary of their children's interactions with their friends because often, their children's interactions can also trigger them to try something they shouldn't do. We may have seen children gambling with their friends when they are together and without supervision from their parents or the adults around them because adults will think they are playing together even though they are gambling with their friends.

If you say rarely, it means that advertisements about gambling still exist, but the frequency is not frequent and perhaps because there are broadcast times regulated by the government so that only at certain times such advertisements can be broadcast, like in my country where advertisements about cigarettes or adult products such as condoms can only be broadcast at night while there are no gambling advertisements at all because gambling is prohibited, however, as is your experience, gambling advertisements on social media or applications from the Play store still appear and are quite frequent and unfortunately the advertisements that appear on social media or applications cannot be blocked so we will still be able to see it.
Gambling advertisements for broadcasts on foreign television are very massive, for example, I, who is quite active in watching basketball and tennis, always see it broadcast every time there is a break, even the casino is the official sponsor and I am sure because it is legal in the country where the television broadcast is broadcast.

Although children today have become used to using electronics, we can still discipline them by setting up clear rules and limits regarding their use of the internet and other devices. Even if they are young, we can still offer them guidance and place limits on their screen time so that they will remember it as they get older. It is our responsibility as parents to discipline our kids so they don't choose the wrong road.
Yes, and by teaching our children about these concerns, perhaps we can assist them in making wise decisions and encourage a responsible attitude toward gaming. I believe that we can keep an eye on our children's online behavior and recognize any changes in their attitude that would point to a gambling problem. It is crucial to teach our children that gambling can result in addiction and can lead us to being broke.

Gambling promotions are now more and more common in almost every part of the online world And especially social media has Hughes. And when watching sports on TV, there is a lot of gambling promotions, especially in cricket, I see more gambling promotions on TV channels in my country than football or other sports. Children mainly watch cartoon channels on TV and do not show much interest in sports.  And because gambling is promoted through sports, it doesn't seem to have much impact on children. And the promotions are mainly in the form of banners. so I think it's less appealing to kids.

Parents aren't wrong in thinking that money is important because it's true, we live in a world where you can do nothing at all if you don't have money. However, good parents would find a way around it, which means that one parent would work and the other would stay at home with children, and the staying at home part is usually the mother's responsibility, or in most societies, women take care of the home and the men go out and work to earn a living for the family.

So what's important for parents is to make sure that their children's upbringing isn't disturbed because of their irresponsibility, while it's important to earn money, it's their duty to make sure that at least one parent stays around the children at all times.

Casinos are trying to attract people with disposable income and that is clearly not kids whose only source of income is whatever their parents give them as an allowance. It is a false dilemma when people say that children are being exposed to something negative and something should be done about it. People often use protection of children as an excuse to restrict people’s freedom. It is important not to let these alarmists spread misinformation. There is no evidence suggesting that simply being exposed to gambling ads leads to children becoming degenerate gamblers and ruining their lives. It’s a completely absurd idea.

Gambling companies must spend money on promotions to attract people to them and get more gamblers. this is their business and everyone wants to grow their business by various advertisements. Similarly, advertising on TV channels is one of their marketing strategies. and it is very effective because when they promote their casino site banner among different sports, all the sports fans are encouraged to play for their favorite team. and gradually they started engaging in gambling

I agree with you. Children don't have enough funds to become gamblers, neither personal banking accounts to make deposits on gambling platforms. Moreover, children's interests fluctuate constantly. Of course they may watch a gambling ad on the TV and develop a sudden interest for the practice, especially if there are other children at school or at social medias' groups talking about this matter, but it's likely to be a transitional curiosity which won't go further as soon as they conclude it's not a feasible activity for children.

So, they will migrate their focus to videogames, cartoons, movies and other subjects of the puerile universe once again. In every cases, it's important parents monitor the routine of their children, and watch closely what kind of content they are consuming, especially on the internet. It's essential parents talk to their children in a daily basis about how they are doing, what the news are and so on. To be responsible parents also mean to show genuine interest for the routine of their children.

maybe in your country gambling is legal, in my country gambling is illegal, and I have never seen any advertisements about gambling on my local TV station, but unfortunately most children now prefer to watch YouTube, on YouTube I sometimes see advertisements for gambling , but I have set it if my child is holding my cellphone so that it doesn't display gambling advertisements

Wake up, it's 21st century! The assumption that women should stay home while men work is outmoded and disrespectful. It's about giving kids a loving atmosphere, not who stays home. Ever heard of shared responsibility? Both parents can work. Revolutionary, indeed

All this talk about money being everything? While money is important, we must also teach our children values. Are we teaching kids that money trumps love, support, and intellectual growth? Because that creates emotionally bankrupt adults. Parents must be present, but not always physically. Quality overcomes quantity. Let's raise emotionally intelligent, well-rounded kids

I very rarely watch television, unless there is a football match. On national TV in my country, it can be said that I have never seen online gambling advertisements, because my country strictly prohibits all types of gambling practices, as well as gambling advertising, it is strictly prohibited. I often see gambling advertisements on social media or on live streaming sites for football matches.

And I think that television broadcasts should not contain advertisements for casinos, except at certain times, such as in the middle of the night. because during the day there were lots of small children watching television. And it is feared that this could be a trigger factor for them joining a gambling platform.

I think I haven't seen a gambling game ad yet when watching a TV but when some show ends, one of their sponsors can be a casino. On some sports, there might be banners now of a gambling company that are shown.

I still think exposures like these won't get the attention of our child so this is not alarming at all but on your case, limiting those kind of ads may not be enough. What is truly needed there is to not accept such ads but the problem is if the network will agree since they can also earn money on it. Sometimes a company won't care about the sake of other people but what important for them is only their own selves. All you can do for now is to blacklist that channel. I am sure modern TV's has this option now.

Well, in some countries like Colombia and Chile, when you watch sports, especially football, you do see casino advertisements, but on the fields, it is something that you cannot ignore, however, there are casino advertisements and advertisements but that They are fiat casinos, controlled and I imagine they must have much more KYC than what a crypto casino might require, so based on this, I think it would not be bad to put it on a blacklist, because it is advertising, when it was like 4 -5 years old I saw a lot of cigarette advertisements and they were very good and yet as a child for that time it never caused me to smoke, I already knew that it was harmful to the lungs and I didn't pay attention to them, but I did like the announcements.

I have always wanted to see a crypto casino on TV, because that is like promoting Bitcoin, just the fact that they say in the advertisement that it is a crypto type and people start wondering, what is crypto? or what bitcoin is, (for those who don't know) so I don't see this type of thing as bad.

Children are in much more danger now that tablets and phones are available to them so they can do their things and there are many dangers, the most dangerous thing of all, I think it could be casino notices, because there they can enter prohibited places. , where there are pedophiles and sick people, that is dangerous and I think that is the only thing that parents should take care of the children more, instead give a TV because the thing is different, and for me if they can get to many hearings, I don't know Why not, but there are countries, especially in South America, where people watch a lot of TV and now there are many people who have a lot of money and know that these casinos exist, so why not take advantage? Things always go your way.

It depends on the country.I have never seen any betting or gambling ads in the country where I live now as gambling is banned and only one big casino is allowed in the center of the city,no one else is allowed to open up such a business.In countries like UK where in every 50 meters you can find a lotto shop of course you will see tons of such ads in Sky sports for example Betfair,Bet365,some new platforms which I forgot the name but the point is that you will see tons of them.I don't know which country from the two has the right politic but I would go with the first one removing such ads from the television otherwise it can have a huge impact with the young generation of that country,just my opinion though.

Gambling is not legal in my country so gambling ads are not available on all TV channels, but 1xbet ads are shown on sports channels in my country during cricket football matches. Government takes a very strong stand against gambling. Many people in my country are arrested by law enforcement agencies every year for their involvement in gambling. But because the people who run the sports channels are high-ranking people of the government, no one takes any action against them even if they advertise gambling websites.

But yes they only show these ads during the game and the rest of the time no gambling site ads are shown on any TV channel. TV channels are more interested in advertising gambling websites because they get paid many times more for advertising gambling websites than other advertisements.

One of the main factors on which these ads would really be seen into TV on which it would be talking about regulation thing, if its allowed then expect those ads would really be showing into those
mediums on which it wont really be just that limited to TV but also in other online surfing as well on which mainly targeting out those people who might have interest on gambling. The only sad
thing with these ads is that not all would really be filtered out on which there would really be kids or minors that could possibly be able to watch out those ads on which it might be resulting into
those engagement on which it could really be putting those children into a huge risks on being a gambler. Well, there would really be those program control or board which would really be
protecting out into those children and having those warnings if ever its been aired out.

Ok but isn't it surprising that 1xbet can run advertisements when your government is so harsh about it? I think it would be easy for them to shut down any gambling advertisements when gambling is prohibited altogether. I get the point that these ads might be placed on Internet streaming channels, but I doubt that in most countries someone could just go and stream an ad when the service or product is illegal.

I think by now it doesn't really matter that much anymore whether there are ads on TV as literally 99% of the kids have a mobile phone at their youngest ages and if they watch all kinds of videos, whether it is Youtube or TikTok or whatever else there is, they get to see those ads al the time I would assume. And the ads are really not the worst to be honest as I am sometimes shocked to find out what kind of videos children can access.

In countries where gambling is still illegal, gambling sites will not be displayed on billboards continuously, but there are several advertisements during certain events such as sporting events related to betting on gambling sites. Apart from television, we also see various advertisements on The social media that we often visit are Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and it is not uncommon for many public figures to advertise on this site so it is difficult to avoid these advertisements because perhaps they have paid expensive taxes so the advertisements continue to run and there are even several applications. The permits in the Playstore make it seem as though the residence is legal for gambling.

And because of the many advertisements for gambling, children know about it and are worried that one day they might get into it if they are curious about the game, we as adults must be able to supervise the children around us and advise them not to gamble when they are not yet old enough.

Actually, it happening also others region not only with yours. But what we can do if this gambling advertisement games on TV channel and if your children sitting in front of that then I think you should change the channel immediately. Or if they ask about that what was that then there is a no need to tell them lie tell them the truth, tell them gambling was not a good thing for kids, show them the bad sides of gambling and tell them you can also gamble after 18 age with your ability.

If there are indeed gambling advertisements on TV then this would be very unfortunate because it could be that children who are not yet adults and can differentiate between good and bad continue to try to gamble, of course this is not very good because they are not yet able to carry out gambling activities and if they Of course as parents they must be responsible for eliminating the habit of gambling in their children.
Telling them that gambling is not a good thing can keep them from gambling and if they keep doing this they will still be able to control themselves because they already know that gambling is not a good thing for them to do.

       -   Well, the only thing I see that has gambling ads is on Facebook, and I'm not sure if there are also on YouTube, but there are no gambling ads on regular TV or television. So, it means that gambling ads on regular television channels are not regulated.

So the only problem here is Facebook, because there are often many minors who use it, so children cannot avoid it, and their parents do not monitor it most of the time.


Yes, you are right, it will not be a good situation for children to see gambling ads, so in such a situation, they will have curiosity and can ask questions in their minds about gambling.

Disappointingly, gambling ads are everywhere on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. The power of internet marketing blurs legal lines. These commercials, expertly disguised and approved by influencers, permeate our daily lives, making it hard to protect our children.

I understand the contradiction of these sites enabling such stuff while claiming "legal ambiguities". The morality seems to conflict with the financial margins in this sophisticated use of digital freedoms. This is about ethics and duty, not just law.

We must be the first defense as adults. Open conversations with youth about gambling's risks are my preference. Giving them the skills to make informed judgments

People used to watch TV channels more often when the internet wasn't as common and accessible as it is today. Nowadays, the percentage of people who watch TV channels has reduced greatly because most people use the internet and watch movies and shows and other stuff using streaming services which are usually ad-free which means that there are no advertisements shown to subscribers in most of these services.

That's why, I believe that most gambling platforms and casinos use online channels for marketing purposes and to promote their products and services. Social media platforms are very much popular for such things, other than that, websites that put Google Ads in their banner positions often get gambling ads to promote.

Those channels are run by many powerful people with connections to the government, so they also advertise illegal stuff but nothing happens to them. They broadcast these advertisements regularly and on a large scale during cricket, football games. I don't know why law enforcement agencies don't take action against these channels, as per rules they can't advertise gambling websites on their channels, but they are doing this illegal thing without any problem.

The law enforcement agencies do not take action against the gamblers in my country, the same way they do not take action against channels run by such powerful people, even I think they may not take any time. Because corruption exists everywhere, they control everything with money power.

It seems that we are almost in the same country based on the description you shared, where the government is a big corrupt one, they don't take any action here especially in the illegal doings of the country because of big and rich people are behind it and strongly attached to the government. Well, when it comes to money, who wouldn't refuse a million million offers just to protect all illegals. I won't mention the country but I know many people can relate to it.

Such a situation would be similar to many countries today. Because the government has now made corruption easier to strengthen their power and the syndicates are taking advantage of it to continue their illegal activities. Money power is the main thing in the world now, those who have the most money are doing what they want. And these ad campaigns and things like that are happening.

My description is similar to the situation in many countries, those who live in those countries can easily understand what is happening in front of them.

Well, one of the reasons why the parents, who are very corrupt, accept these deals because of what you just said, for a big cut and let them circulate as if nothing had happened, but even so, knowing that things are prohibited, they are always going to look for some type of amendment that allows them to do this type of act, in my country it was also like that, for more than 20 years casinos were prohibited, in fact until recently they allowed casinos, but why? because the casinos offer them large amounts of money to be able to give them to them, then this is a total corruption, of course the government entities when they go to the physical casinos, because that day only the casino is only for them, no one who is not from the government They can enter because it is for their exclusive use, so the basic casinos in the Capital of the country are like that, as long as there is money for them everything is fine.

And looking at it carefully, all these statements make me think that in almost all of them the same things that politicians do and seek are fulfilled because they are people who only think about themselves and nothing else, which seems to me to be very bad, in fact the Politicians in these countries have so much power that when they go to a specific city and there are electricity problems, the electricity companies agree that once they are there they do not lack the service and the cities at that time all have the ele service. ´ctrio, even politicians influence that, so I think that we should always see politicians not as help for a people, but basically they do what a parasite does, they don't care except for their own benefit, at least in my opinion. country is like that and my country is rich and yet the majority of people live in poverty.

Actually agree into this point and the fact that TV prices nowadays is already getting cheaper. You have noticed it too? Due to technoligical advancement then this is one of its effects on which those
traditional way becomes that obsolete or gradually becoming non relevant since everything could really be seen or watch by the comfort of your own hands via using mobile/cellphones
and this what makes the situation even more harder to control on considering that our kids do have their own devices then they are really that prone into those ads too
on which this is why it would really be that important that you should really be teaching them at least on whats its cons on dealing with it.

It is important as a parent on making them at least wary about its possible negative impact into someones lives once you've decided on taking
to deal from it. So its a personal choice i should say.

Gambling promotions is in everywhere like on television, radios and social media which pretty sure nowadays that it will become worst in the near future. Anyways gambling is base in our luck so it's up to us if we gonna gamble every now and then or not. But for me it's a god habits once we gamble once in a while but not in everyday. Yes we can win a good amount in gambling if we have our luck in our side but if don't have the we won't success. And we always failed.

All companies try their best to market themselves and gambling sites also do their best to market themselves. In that case television is a good medium so here they can campaign it is a common thing. Gambling advertisement is often seen on TV, I have seen it many times. Winning at gambling is really a matter of luck as it never guarantees winning. Only those who are lucky can take advantage of the gamble while others only suffer

I only see a few advertisements on TV for a gambling site; most of them are already big because they can afford the cost of running advertisements. Many probably use social media or hire vloggers to promote their gambling sites. Also, TV stations probably have high requirements regarding the legitimacy of the gambling site they would promote, as it will affect their reputation. If a gambling site only earns a Curacao license, I'm not sure if they'll consider it since,   based on what I read, most small gambling sites can easily get a Curacao license. (https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=19320b74-d8fd-467c-b904-8bd8e1df43cd#:~:text=Cura%C3%A7ao%20licenses%20have%20been%20associated,monitoring%20compared%20to%20other%20jurisdictions.)

In countries where gambling is not legal, usually, casinos or gambling business developers usually act as sponsors in sports tournaments. it's like boxing or football shown on TV. This kind of strategy is also good for casino developers to use in their marketing.
There are many marketing methods that casino developers can use. but I don't know whether TV advertising is still popular and effective. I estimate the effectiveness of current advertising on social media platforms. Now more people live with their social media during their downtime than with their TV.

Good, casinos company is making the best out of them so they want to advertise their business/company for more customers to come and test what they have for them. Advertisement is brings more customers, so even the casinos/companies that's advertising their website won't think about what they are losing because the advertisement will definitely bring more people to their business. According to the OPs question, I have seen a lot of advertisement concerning many betting companies both in the internet and online, but I haven't seen any online. Yes it's true that winning bets are based on luck.

Unfortunately, this is something we just have to learn to live with, there is no two ways about it.
All the time I am watching a football match and my kids are sitting right next to me, the match does play for more than 20 minutes without a gambling site ad coming up,  what do I do? Send my kids out?, of course not, I guess this is one reason why before such type of program would start, they will tell us that children under the age of 18 and below are not allowed to watch such program without the supervision of their parents.

Gambling ads on tv are not regulated, most especially, if you are subscribed to a cable tv, or internet TV like YouTube and others, there is a high chance that such ads, or even something worst, might come up from time to time.
The only solution to this I think is to get the children their own TV, where they can comfortably watch cartoons and other children programs in their room, by this way, the children will begin to see less gambling advertisement ads on TV when their parent are watching a sports program.

If children have access to TV and the internet without limitation, they'll likely come across these gambling advertisements. Nowadays, with plenty of sources of entertainment online, it's too risky for our children to give them full freedom. It's still up to us how to discipline them and provide only what is necessary at their young age. We want our kids to have the same interests as us, if we love sports, we might also want them to enjoy sports. However, gambling is just quite different. This thing is what we call for adults only or mature content, similar to porn shows, with a warning: not for kids.

I've seen a few gambling ads on TV. But as far as I understand Sopt is a different kind of casino. However these casinos are not regulated in my country. And if anyone wants to get involved with this scam then he has to visit the casino websites. But I can say one thing, these are usually addictive slowly. So considering this subject, it can be said that before becoming addicted to gambling, these things should be avoided.

The policy of reducing gambling advertising in the media, especially TV, is the authority of each country. Luckily in my country it is prohibited to advertise gambling in the media.
In fact, it can be assumed to be like alcohol, in developed countries alcohol is legalized. However, we see that the number of people who like alcohol is not as many as we thought even though the country legalizes it.
Here the role of parents must be maximal in limiting what children can and cannot watch. So the biggest responsibility is on you as a parent. Rather than encouraging the government, because the government might see gambling advertising as state income.

Comparing gambling to alcohol is an interesting.  Legalizing drinking doesn't automatically make everyone into drinkers.  Similarly, banning gambling ads won't completely stop gambling problems.  Parental responsibility is definitely important, like you mentioned.  Kids absorb everything around them like sponges and  filtering inappropriate content is also important.  imagine kids constantly seeing gambling ads all over like candy commercials.  That would be extremely tough to deal with!

In situations like these, the government needs to step in.  They can limit exposure to these ads and encourage responsible gambling habits, like seatbelts in cars.

These interventions aren't perfect, but do help

In my country, gambling advertising is allowed, but lately I hardly see it, probably the rules on TV have been tightened. I'm not against this, because there are still a lot of people watching TV, despite the development and popularity of the Internet. It’s just that on the Internet I see advertisements on various sites much more often. But I would like to say that I watch the TV channels of the neighboring country and it is there that bookmaker platforms are advertised much more often, even during the very broadcast on Sunday late. On the one hand, I’m not against it, but sometimes it really bothers me because I watch the show every Sunday, and I probably already know this advertisement by heart, sometimes it really infuriates me.

Where I live gambling ads are allowed, however while you can catch a gambling ad here and there while watching a random TV show, most of the time the publicity of casinos is concentrated around sport events, so if you like a sport in particular you better prepare yourself to be bombarded by those ads as they are the majority of the ads transmitted during a game, not that it bothers me, but I think the number of ads is completely over the top.

Yes of course, I've been in such a situation and trust me, these tiny legs are as curious as ever to know more about it.
Myself dismisses them with a statement, "Its not for children" and I show them other things to channel their energy into. I make sure never to ignore them so they don't start digging  out those information themselves. I make sure to attend to the questions, and deceive their mindset not to focus on it for now. I also make sure they never see me gambling in order to keep things plain and their minds unbiased.

I agree with you, in my opinion this also depends on whether the country legalizes gambling or makes gambling illegal, but in my country gambling is an activity that is prohibited, therefore I never see gambling advertisements on TV, except on social media. for now where the internet and social media are quite important things in everyday life, I'm sure in my country many people know or see gambling advertisements on the internet or social media, I'm sure when a group of young people are having fun hanging out and if When asked if they know about slot gambling, for example, there are definitely those who know about gambling because they saw it or found out about it via the internet and social media.

but in my opinion, if there are gambling advertisements on TV, it could have a bad impact, such as children. Even though today's children are more likely to like playing gadgets than watching TV, there are still children who like watching TV, and I think if they see gambling advertisements it's certainly not a good thing, therefore I don't have a problem with the absence of gambling advertisements on TV, because of its advertisements that appear on many social media, it has made many young people in my area know about it, whether it's because of word of mouth or because they know about it individually.

Various gambling sites are always advertised on television and social media. By seeing these attractive advertisements, the general public will feel attracted to gambling and attracting the general public is one of the main tasks of those gambling and casino sites.
Seeing these advertisements published on television and social media, a kind of curiosity is created among the young generation, including young boys and girls, and at some stage, these young generations involve themselves in the severe addiction of gambling. So I don't see any positive effects except the negative side of advertisements published on television and social media.

I can say that it is fortunate for Islamic societies that their laws prohibit advertising related to gambling, because Islamic law prohibits gambling, and therefore all channels directed to countries with a Muslim majority do not support advertising gambling companies or even dealing with them. You will not find, for example, any Arabic-speaking TV channel whose content supports gambling activities. Therefore, children do not learn about gambling until they are mature. The first cases of exposure to these advertisements are while watching major league matches, where stadiums display advertisements for sports betting platforms.

Even YouTube directed to these communities does not show them advertisements for gambling platforms, and therefore the rate of exposure to this type of advertisements at an early age is very low. It is possible to introduce legislation to limit the display of these advertisements, especially private television channels that find gambling advertisers their preferred profit, given that Internet sites cannot be controlled.

It really depends on what country you're in and what you're using to stream TV programs these days. Many countries have banned gambling adverts or impose heavy restrictions on them. If you watch Premier League football or those of other leagues, you'll often see sponsorships by major gambling sites these days - all around the pitch and on the shirts of players even. I don't want much TV and find it hard to recall if it's currently allowed in my country. Each country has it's own peculiarities when it comes to advertising though, one thing that shocked me was when visiting America and seeing the hardcore drug advertising taking place, basically telling the public to tell their doctor what to prescribe for them, it was mental.

As a parent, it's hour responsibility to know what's good for your kid and what will negatively affect them, it's better as a parent to know the parental guide on your TV. If you notice there are some channels that has +18 content, it's better you block them or simply used a pin code to locked these channels so that when you are not around and they want to open these channels, it will not show or it will request for the pin you used and since they know them, it will be difficult for them to access.

You can also just subscribed for package that has children views like the carton and other baby things that doesn'take children learn adult lifestyle, it will help them not just in their life but also help them focus on school because they you can easily block everything so they can focus on what's important in that particular time. As a parent of 21st century, you need to be smart ahead of these kids because they will do what you don't expect from them.

I don't care either way as long as they aren't hurting anyone I can't see why anyone would want to ban gambling ads, it's a legal thing to do.  It's like banning beer commercials.  They are all over the place, same thing.  If you are worried about kids seeing something they shouldn't take the medium away from them or even better teach them yourself about what is being advertised.

The world today is totally uncontrollable because the internet and the TV makes it so easy for children to access these things online and moreover advertising of betting or gambling sites are done on a more wider scale now and even the internet like social media are filled with these kinds of advert too but if the parents of a child keeps a close eye on the child then I think it's avoided and moreover there is always parental guidance rating on some specific TV shows and even the cartoon themselves.

In fact, this happened more than 15 years ago when the internet could only be accessed in certain places such as urban areas and in rural areas the internet was still not easily accessible, most people would use TV as source of news information most favourable.
But in the past 15 years until now technology has developed very quickly and the distribution of internet networks can be accessed anywhere and there are many various sophisticated tools that can be purchased at relatively cheap prices, making everyone switch from TV to the various technologies that currently exist.
PC and cellphones are part of technology that is truly widespread and almost everyone can have them from children to the elderly, this is convenience that keeps up with the times.
By using PC or cellphone, each user can search and find various important information and many trusted news sources even offer subscriptions.
It just that in relation to gambling I have never seen any gambling advertisements on TV, besides, if there were, perhaps this could only be done in countries where gambling is legal.
But this can have bad impact because many children who watch TV broadcasts can see gambling advertisements and indirectly introduce children to gambling more quickly.

Currently, everything has become easier with various gambling companies marketing the names of their sites or casinos online in collaboration with streamers.
There are also those who have special broadcasts and only really contain short videos marketing gambling sites and distributing them on social media such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
After all, everyone will get their own profits, gambling sites advertise and get more customers and those who own social media will get some tax money or payment for the advertising they do.

Gambling ads is a usual case in my country. it is all over the internet or social media like Facebook, WhatsApp and also some few mobile app on mobile devices always show ads in almost all the app on mobile phone. There for  it is important to note that there is a chance that your kids might watch it.

Children are very sensitive to understanding quickly, they will be so quickly to Understand more about what they have seen. But as a parent it is your duties or obligation to educate the children of some things they need to know, even when you know they don't know that much. But believing that in the future they will know more better.

In many parts of the world, the advertisement of gambling on TV and other platforms are banned, including the place where I live.
But the gambling sites and business bypass the restriction through indirect advertising. There are ads that promote products or services that are nearly identical to the name of the gambling site that's being promoted. Everyone including the authorities knows it's not the advertising of that specific thing but of the popular gambling site with similar name but they can not do anything as they are not breaking any law. The advertised sites do contain the direct link to the gambling sites if anyone unsuspectingly visits it creating a landing page of sorts. Another form of advertising visible are direct sponsorship of teams and players. They can't blur the jerseys of moving players.

aside from the fact that gambling advertisement might be banned for certain countries across the world its also probably due to the fact that advertising on TV will not give the gambling sites themselves targeted audience.
I think TV are mostly just some people try to enjoy shows not betting, quite opposite if we are talking sports, its quite effective thats why in football matches the gambling ads are everywhere because its targeted audiences I think because surely in every match some people want to gamble.

In social media, you will only see gambling related content if you search or follow one of them since you will be automatically target by social media AI due to your interest for such content. I believe there’s a settings to avoid getting any post related to gambling once you turn it off.

Also the topic is all about gambling ads on TV and not social media. TV is different since you can’t control the ads for your children sake since it’s already predetermined for the day based on schedule. But this kind of ads usually available on sports games which is very easy to spot if you are a parents.

Yeah I believe so small children most likely didn't care in fact I saw bunch of kids wearing fake jerseys full of ads like stake.com or other gambling but they didn't understand or even care with that.

Maybe they ask to their parent but if their parent are smart they know what the answer hence if the kids have phones and trying to open maybe the Internet Service Provider gonna stop it because here in my country all gambling related is blocked by the government.

Secondly, they cannot signup because of gambling site regulation

Advertising on TV might be banned but we know that the internet now become more advanced so kids can watch it for free from their social media page. They will see it many times every day without control unless we use some adjustment to their smartphone or we gives understanding to them that playing gambling can gives a negative effect to their life. But yes, people enjoy watching the matches and not about betting so they wants to search an entertainment rather than to place a bet. And nowadays, the casino tends to use the internet to promote their business whereas they can get unlimited potential target from all countries. It's a responsibility for every people to be able to respond to what happened and will not take a wrong way.

On the contrary I think TV advertisement is the biggest for gambling companies. TV has wider converage and easier to access. Most gambling companies would like to throw up their adverts on the screen, some adverts just go pass the screen while program is on while some pay for full time for their adverts to be showcased from time to time, daily or weekly.

So if a gambling company is ban from running adverts on TV then it is a big disadvantage from my observation

It is true that TV ads will give them a wider coverage, but at the same time the costs of TV ads are very high and this can have a substantial effect on the finances of a company, take a look at what happened with tobacco, during the 80’s there was a strong campaign to ban ads all over the world, and while tobacco companies thought this will be the end of them, in fact their revenue increased as now they did not had to spend a fortune on those ads, so it is possible such a ban could be a silver lining instead.

With having the current technology on what we do have today on which when it comes to accesibility or on how fast information could really be passed on then TV are somewhat already that gradually going into that irrelevant side. Why? We do have mobile phone nowadays and as long you do have the internet connection then you are really that connect to online world on which it wont really be shocking nor surprising that they would really be making themselves getting aware with those potential ads and other things that they could be able to see online.

This is why as a parent it is really that a huge challenge on trying out to scope up on everything on what your children is doing. This is why it would really be always best that
you should really be telling them about the cons and negative effects when dealing up with gambling. Its normal that there would be ads on TV
on which we know that exposure and ads is really just that normal or typical on business to have.

There is huge competition between casinos in my country so their use every opportunity to market their platform. They sponsor different TV programs during which their advertisements are shown regularly. So it Has become a normal thing to see ads in TV shows across different TV stations.

The cost of TV ads is the least problem for casinos because they are big and can afford to run their advertisement in any media in the globe. Advertisement is part of their marketing that they budget for in theur financial plannings.  

I disagree, advertising is probably the highest expense casinos incur, however they cannot afford to not advertise because if they do not and their competitors do then they will soon find themselves out of business, however if a ban is put in place by the government instead, this will put all casinos on equal ground and allow them to not spend that much promoting themselves, which ironically it could boost their profits in a very significant way.

Thats why gambling business or venture is never been a cheap one whether you are building a physical casino or an online one on which when it comes to advertisement or simply talking about exposure then this is something that really that usually or standard thing on any business and gambling is never been an exemption. You would really be needing to spend tons of money when it comes to exposure. It might be looking so simple but we do
know that the money involved or need for such exposure is never been cheap. This is why its not shocking that there could be potentially be having those gambling ads that show up on the TV. This is why as a parent then you should really be that responsible on trying out to guide or avoid your children to be able to see such thing.

I do agree on some points above that parenting is never been simple on trying out to avoid your kids on watching these ads because these things cant really be only seen on TV
but also in the net as well on which we cant really be able to monitor our children 24/7 on which they are really that prone into such exposure. This is why
proper guidance and make those realizations would be the key.

Yes, I have seen different gambling on TV and sometimes it’s even pop out in my phone as an ad even when I am playing just a normal game so I’m gambling companies still come on the game and put in the advert. Yes after seeing this on TV sometimes the children we ask, how about this the only thing is to tell the truth this is gambling you are not allowed to do this you keep them an advice. The truth is gambling, but you have to add a very big lie to it. The children is not allowed, which is true and if any children should disobey and gambling such like any everything ever can happen to the kids even when it’s not true, just have to like to scare them away.

What you need to do in that situation is let them be exposed to that kind of advertisement on TV. For sure, your kid won't be asking questions right away after watching those ads. Maybe after several times, your kid will be curious what that is, and as a parent, you should be answering them and educating them about gambling. Tell them the good and bad effects of gambling, but to be sure, since they still don't have the judgment, implement more frequently the bad result of gambling, so over time, when the kid grows up and he can already decide what is good for himself and still chooses to gamble, then it is fine since you became a good parent and tell them the pros and cons of gambling.

Considering that children are very curious, they will always ask about every thing, casinos usually attract attention, it is normal to have colors and many things that are impressive to them, if it attracts the attention of adults, then the attention of children is a fact that it does. If you take it with good eyes, this is a way of being able to educate them little by little so that it is a better way for them to know the varieties of things that exist, or casino advertising is passable, the dangerous thing is that they see lewd things and publish them in very sexist advertisements, that is just dangerous, because they are subliminal messages, sometimes the TV channels do not comply much with children's schedules.

TV now cares about its audience and ratings, anyway they are going to look for a way to make money from advertising, including casinos, cigarettes, and alcohol.

Usually, we do not see these online gambling site ads that are listed and discussed on bitcointalk. Sometimes i get to see the gambling or betting ads for some local site or application being used in the country. For example, these days while watching IPL in Star Sports, we may come across Dream 11, which is a sort of gambling app. At the end of the ad that is aired on the tv, they also give a disclaimer that it is a risky market so invest at your own risk.

I think this is just a formality to put this disclaimer at the end, otherwise, they would want everyone to join those gambling apps. For sure, they are giving a lot of money to the national and sports TV channels and they would like the ROI so more and more people join their program and they won't care if the majority of them lose the money, do they  ???

Just like cigarette companies that will advertise their products just to get customers and still issue a warning to their prospective customers that smokers are liable to die young, same applies to the gambling industry. This people know how addictive gambling can be and that is why they must always warn their customers before hand by leaving a  note for them to gamble responsibly or avoid gambling if they are under-aged.

I have never seen gambling being advertised on TV before, only casinos and other betting platforms promote their brands on TV but on strict regulations. Ofcourse, such promotions usually end with disclaimers which is supposed to restrain a responsible gambler from doing certain things. But most gamblers would rather ignore these warnings and take the risks. Afterall, the more risk you take,  the more chances you have to earn big. But this saying doesn't always end well for most gamblers.

I personally never witnessed any advertisement that promotes gambling on TV, maybe because gambling in my country and according to the religion is forbidden and considered as a bad habit that God punishes for, so the television wouldn't promote such thing and won't diffuse it on their screen because it will certainly be banned.

It may be for the better because television targets the totality of the population from the youngest to the eldest, males and females. Kids might fall into some of those advertisements and might be easily influenced which is not good, even if you are a gambler you wouldn't want your kids to be interested in gambling because we all know that gambling is a bad habit if not being used wisely and taken logically.

But even if TV prevents such advertisements, we are now in a world ruled by the Internet everyone has access to, that is why parents should always supervise their kids' online activities.
