Bitcoin Forum

Almost every sports including football's dominated by gambling ads. Casino ads are affecting ppl. Kids see it every where it isn't healthy. Billboard ads tv ads & online ads are every where. How's gambling affected you & ppl you know ?

I've got mixed feelings about renting my sig for gambling. I've done it because I wanted managers to consider me for other sig campaigns which aren't casinos when they're available. I'd prefer giving it to mixer sig campaigns but they're banned. I'm not sure how long I'll rent my sig like this.

For now and as I know mixer are banned from this forum except till further notice and there is no assurance of them coming back hear, although the post made by theymos shows that there could be tendency for us to have them back here but then they must first watch they Trump administration to see if is that favorable to mixers. For the ads, I must say they have taken over the forum and lot of people promote their sites over here and I also do see them in other places. But it's as a duty as parents to prevent your children from having access to those site being advertised, so it's not something new anymore.

If you do find yourself not wanting or liking to wear up a gambling based signature just for some ethical reason. Then better transfer it to me.  :D Just joking.!

I do understand on other peoples perspective since they dont want for minors or those non matured people would be able to get engaged with gambling prematurely, but we do know that in todays era and technology on which this isnt something that could be avoided and thats why parental guidance is recommended but we do know that parenting is never been perfect due to some circumstances or simply we cant be here all the time on watching them.

Almost everyone do have their mobile phone and browsing alone on social media could potentially that make you see those things without being caught by your parents and thats why possible influences could really happen.

It is such a terrible situation that we have found ourselves that children are no longer protected from gambling ads. I am not comfortable when I see gambling billboards close to primary and secondary schools where almost all of them are underage. 

We just have to do all within our power to reduce the exposure of these gambling ads to children. Blocking these ads from phones that children access will be nice.  Educating children about gambling and the dangers of prematurely engaging in it will also do good.

We hope to see more signature campaigns from diverse service providers so that members can choose the one that suits them.

Gambling does not negatively affect me or any people that I know, they are fine, since they know how to control themselves.  I never blame gambling or any kind of advertisement when a person becomes a gambling addict.  It is too shallow to think that way.  Remember people have their own brains to decide whether they indulge themselves and be out of control.  Gambling platform is just there offering their services, they never push or threaten anyone to play in the platform, do they?  Yes they are enticing people but didn't every business do this kind of strategy?  Now whether a person will end up in financial ruins is dependent on that person's decision.

About kids, parents are there to guide them and the government is doing whatever it can to give guidelines that can minimize the impact of gambling on minors.  If you do not want kids to see these ads, better to shut these kids in the house without any internet or television  but isn't it much better to educate them than make them avoid exposure to gambling ads?

That is very alarming for our kids and their future.
I know gambling should be control and us parents to guide our kids. But seeing ads on TV and sports is not good.
Well they earn on it that is why we can't stop them. Even in NBA now yoiu can see odds on ads.

The unfortunate thing about this is that wearing a signature here doesn't help get gambling ads to children as fast as other means of promoting gambling platforms does. Most of the celebrities that children watch like skit makers, comedian and the favourite sports persons promotes one gambling outlet or the other, even if you stop participating in gambling signature campaigns, what happens to the other sources that reaches a larger audience than we here reach?

I quite understand the angle you're coming from and as someone that equally shares in a believe system that's close to what you've rightly pointed here, I know how much I've battled with my conscience to keep at this but because of some factors, it's really what it is.

The current state of the world is a free state. Everyone has to be responsible for their lives and choose what they want to make out of their lives. As a parent, you have a responsibility of making sure that your wards feeds on the right information that will be better for them while knowing that the society has made it too cheap for them to consume the wrong information. If young wards are properly sensitized running an ad on the forum won't negatively affect them and however, those that are expected to be a part of the forum are supposed to be above 18 years and at that age, they should be matured enough to make decisions for themselves.

It's definitely a soft shift that people who are not interested in the well being of the world would be concerned with, I can attest to this that gambling ads, casinos are everywhere even the the slightest places which you wouldn't expect it you will see them there. I've lost count where I see stake.com ads it's everywhere.

However it's a new trend I can as that for sure but what's in our disposal to do about it not to rent out our signature space for that ? no absolutely, if there be some other adverts that could pay as much as they do now definitely heading for them, but in the forum basically gambling are everywhere and not sure mixers can come up again.

I like to gamble, but I never tell anyone, especially my family like my older sister. It's just that one day I heard her gambling and how happy she was when she won, this actually surprised me because I knew she liked to gamble, as time went by she always did it, actually it was her own right, only I was afraid that something unwanted would happen, especially since she already had children to take care of. What I thought was that she knew about gambling because currently gambling advertisements are everywhere, coupled with her own difficult economic situation, it was only natural that she was tempted by the victory in gambling so she did it. What's worse is that my older sister's husband also likes to gamble, this is concerning and worrying.

You don’t need to join on any signature campaign to be considered by other manager on their campaign. You can join whenever you want since campaign manager considered post quality, merit count and other factors that doesn’t include previous campaign work.

Regarding promoting casino signature, you don’t directly advertise them on your post so there’s nothing wrong about this imo.

In the end, it’s still up to you whether your belief is strongly against casino promotion.

This topic is a mixed gambling or service discussion board.

I have people that the gambling ads are not affecting at all. They know what gambling is and they either stay away from it which most of them do or they gamble responsibly.

You do not need to let any gambling site rent your signature and avatar space and wait until mixers come back on this forum. Bit know that if you do not let any site rent it, other people are here to accept the offer.

Gambling ads have come to stay and there's nothing we can do about it, if you don't like it you have to learn to ignore them everytime. If you have kids and underaged that you don't want them to be influenced by gambling adverts, what you need to do is educate them about it. Gambling is not evil but it's not for everybody, underaged and irresponsible adults don't have any business in gambling. If you understand responsible gambling and have discipline to control yourself you won't have a problem with it or become an addict. I think that the negative impression that people have about gambling is gradually shifting, when you see responsible people gambling you won't criticize it so much.

That human is created and given strength (reason) so that they think which is good and bad, the brain and other creatures also have a brain, but they don't work with reason.

Gambling ads are everywhere, just like you see other advertisements such as cars, but not everyone can and is able to buy the car, gambling is also not everyone understands and is able to gamble, even though advertisements everywhere.
That is the life of a person can choose the purpose of his own life and the direction of their lives.

Also with you (sig) you can draw conclusions and decide on your purpose, if your purpose is gambling only for money, of course you don't Trunching it, but if the sig you install at this time is detrimental to you and others, stop many other members who are queuing up to Sig you installed, it's simple.

Who do you help if you stop wearing gaming signature? Here isn't even a open world where kids pass by and see it every day, are you even thinking straight?

Also that mixer signature you choose to wear instead of gambling sig, are you sure it's the right thing to do? Because criminals are using mixers to move illegal and blood money funds, if I have to choose one I would go for gambling because it can be prevented to stop addiction.

---

People pretend as if they are good people, holy and some kind but deep down they are dirty, they support mixers like it's normal to hide funds but you will know them when they don't give face when you talk about what criminals are doing with mixers..

---

I like mixer but I've never used it, but since anyone can use it including criminals I am against it, for the good course you want to use mixers for, why can't you accept the fact that bad people will also escape crimes using mixers.? Birds of the same feather? Maybe.

Children watch football matches freely on TV, and most of them love football. The main sponsors of the sport are currently casinos/bookmakers. How can we prevent them from being exposed to this type of advertising? By banning them from watching the matches?

The betting industry and sponsorships will continue to grow. It is our duty as adults to guide them about the harm that irresponsible betting can cause.

I have no problem using my signature space to promote casinos, I believe we are among adults and conscious gamblers.

Before I dab into the main discussion, let me divert on you first for correction, this is a forum and it would be better for you to learn how you could type your words in their right spellings, you're not chatting your friends here.

Now to the topic in proper, we should not see gambling as the only ads that people often see including children, any brand can pay for ads services to promote their business and we should know that these ads we see are not also free, they were being paid for.

Just as life is full of good and the bad, but we are admonished to choose what is good for us, anyone could see ads from any source online for a brand, but choosing them is voluntary to click or not, while children should also have restrictions to a certain level to what they do.

In the rapidly developing digital era, it can certainly be easily be exploited by influencers, especially gambling sites are currently very popular everywhere. Sadly, not only adults can access gambling sites, because of the many advertisements or promotions that are circulating in various media, it can easily make ordinary people involved in accessing it. This is no longer strange in the digital era like this, therefore parental supervision is very important so that children do not fall into gambling early

Let us accept the fact that gambling is now part of our daily life. Even if we wanted our kids or the others to stay away from gambling, they will still be exposed to it soon. The best thing we can do is not to make our kids innocent of gambling but rather educate them. If they understand gambling, curiosity will be out of their mind.

As we can't control the continuous spread of gambling, especially online. The more possible our kids get involved with this. Proper guidance is quite necessary rather than making them stay away.

I didn't expect my topic becoming so busy. I'm personally thanking every user for posts they've made. When I'm reading the things ppl say about their experiences & opinions about gambling it's like sharing with friends.

Gambling ads almost everywhere which is something that we cant change but we can do something to minimize the negative effects especially for our kids.
We should educate our kids related to gambling, starting from what is this all about and what is/are the worse possible negative effects of gambling.
Once our kids are educated enough, it can minimize the possibility of them to get involved in gambling activities.
All in all, people are responsible for themselves so do not blame for other things that we see outside, we should have better/stronger prevention from ourselves in order to minimize the effect of anything that we cant change.

Gambling advertisements have become a common thing now. When you sit down to watch a game, the commercial breaks given in the middle of the game praise various gambling sides and encourage you to gamble. Many gamblers start gambling after learning about such new gambling establishments, and there are some people who did not know about gambling before, but after seeing the same advertisements again and again, they become interested in gambling and start gambling out of curiosity. Those who have no idea about gambling, those who start gambling out of curiosity, are seen to lose a lot of money by gambling. The only reason is that they are curious about a subject and do that subject, but they have no idea about that subject.

Even though awareness is good but in the end when you want to limit children about gambling now it is definitely not an easy matter. I don't know what television media and advertisements in countries that legalize gambling are like because in my country there is nothing like that (which you said) but maybe for social media it has more influence. But are we not minimizing that? Of course it can be done even though it cannot be prevented but in the end it can be minimized with some preventive measures for the supervision of our children so that they are not too polluted in gambling. It will not be completely prevented because it can only be minimized.
As for the signature issue, does this affect young children? Which child is surfing the forum ;) because what I see now even though I don't know who and what age but when looking at the writings or arguments most of course we realize it is not a child.
If you are unsure about your decision I think you can be like some of the other people who actively contribute to the forum without the need for a signature because that can still be done.

I believe we all know someone problematic in terms of gambling, and it might have affected his lifestyle or something. Sadly, they're a lot of people who get addicted to it. I also have somewhat of a feeling like this, especially being part of a gambling signature myself.

I guess you just have to get used to it and just have reminders with your post to manage gambling if you ever were to invite someone to gamble.

I don't think it will be possible to stop kids from seeing gambling ads because it is there in the televisions for most sporting events. Our TV stations here advertise gambling platforms in their sports channels and we cannot stop kids from watching sports as a prevention from gambling. Besides, kids are not allowed to gamble until they are 18 and above. If you have kinds, your job is to ensure they don't gamble until they are of age, this will require you making extra effort to ensure they don't hide and do it.

By the way, if you don't gamble and don't feel comfortable advertising gambling, you don't have to wear the signature.

I would agree related promotion of shady gambling sites. Some of these are even exposed in coinmarketcap or in big football matches.
Gambling sites are offering a service like any other activity.
You can blame ANY industry on the earth for some shady business or whatever including religions (pollution, crime, bribery and so on)...but this is not a true reason for not supporting a business in some way.

Gambling ads and discussion about gambling is now open because few years back peoples were not talking about few things openly, but now all is happening with many online channels are giving predications about matches which are also having good motivation for peoples to go ahead with their adventure of gambling.
Kids are having enough material to start this in early ages which is terrible for them and their future in many regions things are not controllable by authorities which are creating more problems because usually peoples under government officials are controlling, and they are having enough power to encourage more.
In few develop countries they are using this as industry and have enough taxes and other things which are helpful for them but in mostly countries its banned, but still illegally used by peoples which are increasing criminal activities.

Same here, That’s why I rarely post outside gambling board nowadays when promoting casino signature campaigns so that I can only advertise gambling on viewers that has interest on gambling not to those who don’t want to gamble initially.

We should always remind everyone whenever we post to gamble responsibly so that we will not be responsible if ever someone wants to gamble after seeing our signature space.

So far, there’s only few or close to none incidents here about gambling addiction.

Gambling is part of human nature, and without the ads, people will still continue gambling. I coukd remember when gambling wasn't this popular but was done secretly without exposing it to the government, more people still joined the gambling moving train. The only disadvantage of the gambling ads is that, it will have negative impact on underage by luring them into gambling.

As long as people believes that gambling is a way out of poverty or a means of making income, people will continue gambling. The casinos are legal and gambling is legal and that's why you're seeeing gambling ads everywhere.

It's hard to have preferences based on principles when you are online or just walking in a city. There will always be something that you don't like or that your kids will see, like gambling, alcohol, and cigars. The best approach for me is to ignore it and educate your children to ignore these things and concentrate on good values.
If you're living in a democratic society and it's an open economy, you'll be exposed to things you don't like or clash with your values, so you have to strengthen your values.

No one is forcing you to wear this signature it is your choice. If you are against it you can simply remove it even now and tell the manager it is all voluntary. Why do you think wearing a mixer signature is so much better than wearing a casino signature? After all mixers also launder money for hackers and other criminals. In that case would you not also be part of some negative perception of crypto? Casinos are a personal choice for everyone. Advertising will not disappear just because you change your signature or refuse to advertise it will exist with or without you.

What I find very disturbing is how some scam platform ads litres all over the place even in Google playstore. The moment you download some apps from Google play store, they will force you to accept display of adds when you use the free version, most of the adds are scam casino sites and they display them repeatedly. If no one find this disturbing, I really do, just that one is helpless because of using free version. It is becoming completely difficult to avoid gambling ads.

OP, what exactly you dont like? That gambling is advertised everywhere? If you stop visiting casino pages, gambling related topics, search engines would stop showing you gambling ads. If you think less about see gambling ads, you would stop noticing them :D If you think that gambling ads are bad because kids would see them, then I can name you bigger threat for kids health, beverages and fast food. Better try to close down that industry ads, because their spoil kids now, when gambling might spoil them only in future. Gadgets as well and ads became part of our daily life. What about them? Compared to gambling, they influence more minds.

It is never possible to stop gambling completely, and when a gambler becomes completely addicted to gambling, it is also very difficult for him to get out of this addiction, once a gambler is addicted, he will definitely face deep losses. And currently the influence of this gambling is deeply spread among the young generation, especially boys between the ages of 18 and 20 are deeply addicted to gambling. At this age, their interest in money is very high, so they take gambling as the easiest way for it, and that is why they enter the game of gambling for money and sink deeply into addiction.

Seeing gambling ads everywhere is not unusual anymore since it's already part of our daily life just like what you've said. The growing popularity of casinos (either physical or online) became a hit to many people especially to those who are looking for entertainment or a quick way to profit.

We can't deny that many or us are tempted to gamble because of the possible gains that we might earn. One of the reason why even some gamblers are in short of money, they still opted to use it in gambling because of their hope to double/triple it. Ads can encourage people to gamble but we should keep in mind the risk since there's no assurance to win.

On TV and even on the streets of many cities you see advertisements for beers, wines and women's underwear most of the time. You will also see that when female models advertise women's clothing, they are wearing underwear and this has become normal. On Instagram, nudity has become normal and many children today have Instagram. By this I mean that the world is changing very quickly

so it is up to parents to pay close attention to their children and restrict the content they can access on the internet. They should also explain to their children that they should not get involved in gambling while they are minors. Casinos are part of this: they always put up a sign that clearly states "no minors allowed." That is why I see no problem with casinos paying for advertising anywhere that the government allows it.

It is ok for you to be worried and that only proves caring for one another of course I know your fear which is the vulnerability of both husband and wife falling for gambling addiction. However, instead of keeping this all to yourself honestly it can be discuss as a family because no one will want any of his or her family members to become gambling addict, it is ok for anyone that is of age to gamble with the awareness of the negative impacts of irresponsible gambling habits, and we should always keep it in mind that it is wrong to approach gambling as a means of a passive income but for fun and entertainment, if husband and wife are both gambler honestly they should do well to keep it out of the knowledge of their underage children.

We can't go back to the 90's where advertisement where done orally by moving from place to place, only few companies where able to afford showing their ads on tv's. Now more technology have been introduced, ads can be done not just in tv's only but in other devices.

Gambling ads on mobile apps isn't a problem but it should done on specific apps that has to do with adults not apps for kids. This is where most companies are doing it wrong. Some don't care which website or apps they show their ads.

It doesn't affect my family nor my kids. Why? Because I still keep them innocent about it. Its best to keep it at that. I know at some point they will bump into gambling but as for now I'd like to avoid it as much as possible.

It's true that there are now too many gambling advertisements in different professional sports and kids are seeing them because the commentators are also advertising the gambling ads during the game. But as long as our kids don't know anything about it then I guess we are safe.

If you're feeling guilty or it's taking a toll on your mental health, there's no need to endure it, you’re always free to step away. Right now, I don't see it having much effect on people in our community. We can't really do anything about the gambling ads anymore, and I believe that in the near future, we'll see even more of them, more frequently, not just online, but maybe even on posters or billboards along the roads. The best thing we can do is educate the next generation, especially our kids, so they don't fall deeper into gambling.

Gambling is just an entertainment so when people use gambling besides of that reason, they are wrong especially if they want to make money from gambling. Parents need to explain to their kids about gambling affect so they can understand and will not trying to playing gambling.

If we can parenting by explaining what it needs and they understand it, they will not tempt from gambling ads they see. They know the risk and the consequences that can happen to them. They will stay away from gambling.

If you feel it is not right for you, you can leave the campaign and not trying to join anymore. It is about a personal feeling you have which make you feel it is not right to do.

You can be sure that almost everyone who sees the ad in your signature is going to be of age, and the average age I'd say over 45. Forums are not a very popular thing with young people.

I don't see anything wrong with it, although I am in favor of regulation to avoid advertising to younger people.


I believe in the not so far future you'll need no humans to display ads. So, not advertising them now won't have much of an effect. First because someone will take OP's slot and second because with AI I think there will be ads with no need of humans involved.

You are absolutely right about what you have said. Various sites advertise gambling platforms and many people who are not yet gamblers have seen them countless times and some of them have in one way or another tried to create an account and deposit to gamble. However nowadays gambling site uses bonuses to draw more customers and they are actually getting more money from it because it obviously that their promotions are working perfectly.

I think there should be a limitation to where ads can be displayed, there are somethings that might be taken lightly and overlooked because you don't know the damage it's causing. There are lots of underage teens that access some websites and These sites are constantly been flooded by gambling ads, these are things that can get kids addicted to Gambling. Adverts expose people to Gambling addiction

As technology becomes more sophisticated, it becomes harder to hide gambling ads on social media. Even social media platforms that prohibit gambling don't advertise it, but there are a lot of gambling site advertisements in the comments. So, one day, your children could find out about gambling on any social media platform. There is only one thing you can do to prevent this: educate your children and tell them how dangerous gambling addiction is. This is the best you can do.

Lol, it's funny though. You can think that managers but know that campaign managers will always welcome a qualified poster when there's a slot. So feel free to take down your gambling signature and hope that one day mixers will be back on the forum and of which we know there's a chance they will.

 Also, I don't see the need of not promoting a gambling site here on the forum.do we now have kids accessing the forum? This is a public place though but most times even from the way people write, you may understand that they are minors just trying to have fun. Gambling ads on bill boards are rare in my country. You mostly see them more these days on social medias or television. But there's nothing much to be worried of.

We live in a modern world; we cannot escape it. In our country, even casino and gambling ads are shown on afternoon shows. It's for us to educate our family not to take these ads seriously.
Casinos are casinos, and they will market their platforms whenever they are allowed, so we see their billboards, ads on social media, and even on television. It's for the individual to be tempted or ignore these ads.
Casino ads test our character, whether we can stop the temptation or give in.

I also have mixed feelings about it, but then I conclude I'm promoting gambling inside an international community of Bitcoin, crypto and gambling enthusiasts, who are theoretically mature enough to understand the risks and potential outcomes involved in gambling matters. Most people here are already educated on those financial matters, and those who aren't yet, are educating themselves in real time.

Moreover, gambling ads here aren't misleading. We don't talk about gambling as if it was going to solve people's financial problems, neither work as a source of extra income. We talk about the reality of gambling: you can indeed get wealthy through gambling, but it will happen only to a tiny percentage of total gamblers, while most players will lose the more they bet.

About children getting in touch with gambling in daily life, that is something you can't prevent, so why not to talk about with them in a realistic way, just like we do on this forum? To educate and enlight is the best alternative. The same is valid for drugs and other addictive practices. Show the negative side, how harmful it can be, potential consequences, but be aware you can't prevent them from knowing the existence of such things.

There are somethings that cannot be controlled, and one of those things are kids that stumble on gambling ads on their phones.. The best thing that can be done about situations like that is parental control.. casinos have the right to advertise their business wherever they want because that's their source of income..as for adults it's quite stupid to say that these ads can end up misleading you when you are old enough to make choices on your own

We know that mixers are currently restricted/banned here in the forum, So like others, gambling at the moment doesn't have a negative impact on me. Now, if we see ads,
I think in the era we have now, it's normal because of the modern technology we have at the moment.

Even when my son uses his gadgets, when he watches educational cartoons, there are ads about gambling, I just let him do it because he doesn't understand
it yet because he's still young.

But at the same time, there are many people who remain indifferent to gambling. Although, they also find themselves "in the risk group", because they are also surrounded by the same gambling advertising. Surprising, isn't it? Maybe it's not the advertising at all, but the people themselves? Those who want to get involved in gambling, do it. And those who don't, simply ignore this advertising information background.

What's stopping you from removing your signature with gambling? It's a purely voluntary choice. And I don't think it will significantly affect gambling advertising campaigns, because another user will take your place. Will it "make life easier" for you after that? Then do it.

I don't see how that affects anybody. As far as I know , gambling site will keep on promoting there market by publishing adds and advertising there site on bill board and many social media platform, but it is a matter of choice wether to register or not. The casino doesn't Force anyone to sign up. Signing up and Gambling is a matter of self decision.

Well if you want to rent your space for a non gambling campaign then it's fine. But if you knew you never wanted a gambling campaign you wouldn't have botherd yourself applying for this one, maybe whenever such campaign comes then you apply just like hugeblack usually does.

Yes, come to think that young people doesnt even know this forum exist in the first place and just like been said that people who had been here definitely knows or getting used to with those gambling banners or ads around. If we do speak about on the real essence on why signature campaigns being launched into this forum then we do know that this place does have the biggest crypto based traffic on which its normal for its owners to consider on launching up some campaign or any other marketing ways or methods for them to have such exposure on which we know that these things are that very crucial on running up a business so its understandable that they would be choosing up this place. As a signature participant specially on gambling then you would be that ones who do spread out that exposure and i dont see on why you do become that too worried about on what would gonna happen in regarding into those young people been able to see up such ads and can contribute into someones potential gambling addiction.

When it comes to ads then it will be that part of our lives yet just like been said that most of us are now living with our mobile phones on which this is something that we can watch it on everyday on which there would be those ads that we will be able to see and it will be that up to us whether we will be that trying out to deal up with those things or not. Each of the actions that we are taking will be basing up into our own preference and decisions on which it will be just that too impossible that we wont be able to determine on whats good and whats bad. It will be just that depending on you on how you do make up decisions because outcomes and results will be definitely be basing up whether you are engaging it out on excessive manner or having that control and moderation at the moment that you do made out such engagement.

Well most of the campaign that are active are almost all casino sites. Cant find a mixer since it was prohibited before. But if you want a non related casino signature then there are some signature for exchange but only few I think who are has active campaign now.

For ethical reason you might not find it good then leave the campaign and find another one that please you and not affecting your thoughts on it.

Gambling ads on social media that I encounter most often. Maybe because I also access gambling through my device, and many gambling ads I always encounter. However, I also gamble, what I should do is probably educate other family members, especially for young children.

Regarding your signature, if it is against your wishes, you can remove it and be active without a signature while waiting for a campaign that is not related to gambling. You can communicate with your manager, maybe the manager can understand your situation. But you can see that currently, most of the available campaigns promote gambling. The decision is always up to you.

I have a 14 year old brother where he really got curios of gambling because of the frequent ads that are displayed on our highways and I discovered that he was playing slots that were advertised. I called out his attention and he told me that he was just trying out what he saw being advertised almost everywhere.


While gambling can generate tons of revenue in a country, there must be a balancing interest between the welfare of the people and the goal of the state to acquire revenue. If the scale of balance is tilted in favor of generating revenue for the country, expect that children would be exposed to gambling that can affect their interest in the future.

At the end of the day, both the parents and the government have their respective roles in ensuring that their children would avoid being addicted to gambling. The government must impose limitations on the advertisements presented; and the parents must be active in reminding their children about the dangers of gambling.

i think that most gambling advertisements nowadays are in places where there are mostly adults, for example like football matches, do you see that there are many children there? even if there are, the number is not too much, most of the audience are adults. while on billboards or videotrons, i think that the government has its own rules on this matter, and if they feel that there are too many gambling advertisements, they can ban it in special places where there are many minors.

so you shouldn't worry too much about it, because gambling advertisements are still under control. in fact, in this case the role of parents must be increased to educate their children about gambling. because no matter what you do, children can also be exposed to gambling from anywhere, and the biggest impact is from their circle of friends.

and about the gambling signature on this forum, i feel that there is nothing wrong with it. this is a forum and i think that the average user here is an adult who already has the ability to think and make their own decisions. as long as the signature does not violate any rules in this forum and does not mislead people, it is fine, they are free to campaign in this forum. there is no need to feel guilty for wearing their signature. but if you feel that you feel forced to use it, you can just take it off.

In my country there are some new laws which have banned gambling ads before 1AM on radio and TV, and more recently they're also prohibiting influencers with certain requirements (I can't remember now but those who have over certain amount of followers or a part of their target are children) advertising casinos or sportsbooks.

I don't think this is very common in other countries, but who knows how the future will turn out. Maybe this measures will become increasingly common.

The advertising of gambling sites is now not limited to any specific area. It has created an environment for advertising in all areas. Although direct advertising is still prohibited in many countries, countries are gradually reduce the restrictions about gambling advertising campaigns and in the future, gambling-related advertisements will be broadcast in all areas. Special attention should be paid to ensure that minors do not become addicted to gambling as much as possible. Special consideration should be given to ensuring that such advertisements are not shown on the devices of those who are young. However, I think it would be positive for society if gambling was not directly promoted on national TV media. There is no reason to prohibit the use of other platforms.

Gambling is a game of choice, and this ad didn't just start now; I still remember when my father went from one coupon shop to the other.
And how the board ads were kept outside, but not even one of my brothers gambles. Or know anything involving it.

I understand the negativity involved in the method of the technology lifestyle we are in right now and how all these celebrities make it look effortless and make people gamble.

So it's left for parents to start educating their kids on gambling.
Everyone has the choice of choosing what's best for them.

Well, I don't see any thing wrong in casino ads and even renting my signature space to this same course, it is true that casino ads are mostly everywhere this days, but there are also places children shouldnt allowed to have access to, and children also should not be allowed to have access unmonitored access to smart phones or computer, or be allowed to access any casino.

And one thing I also will like to let you know is that with or without casino ads, children who are exposed to gambling will still gamble, this is a fact I think you should know.

So, except your religion or tradition forbids gambling in it's entirety, I see no wrong in advertising casinos in your signature ad space.

It will get worse, or don't you think? The competition is rising as more casino evolved or same casino releasing a new brand to dominate the market, they have to add more energy in running ads. The ads can only affect people that are naive and easily deceived, it's a decision to stay away and safe or get involved and lose some money. For kids, parents just have to pay more attention to what their kids are doing when they are alone, because at the end, it could be the kids that will mostly be affected, although I have not seen anyone but it could be an issue later on if not controlled.

Shouldn't the world be more concerned about Pornographic, dating ads;  I don't buy the idea of kids being affected by gambling ads or whatsoever, and it's near impossible for anyone under 18 to sign up and gamble nowadays with the strict KYC requirements on most of the advertised casino platforms here to prevent abuse from minors.

If you have strong will against casino, it would be better you practice what you preach and don't promote it.

No doubts,gambling is increasingly growing without caution and the visibility is real.Even so,this ads can be really influencing and tempting because it's often portrays high catchy promos,and lucrative marketing strategies attached to the ads.
After all of these,the amount of advertisement for gambling should be limited from platforms that children/teenagers would always likely be around to avoid further indulgence and negative social impacts.

It does seem a bit shocking that big football clubs have been almost swamped by casino type adverts, taking the UK for example. In the past there was a cut off point for tobacco and alcohol where the government stepped in and said that's enough - it was banned pretty much overnight. We're starting to see that happen in a gradual way now, because I believe that gambling companies will no longer be able to be the main shirt sponsor in the next year or two. However it is common to see these sort of gambling adverts around the pitch too and the clubs themselves are trying to self regulate it seems, because these sponsors bring in huge money which helps to pay for the best players.

To be honest, the gambling ads I have seen are properly placed. They are not being shown in places where most kids would be in. Besides, ads are dependent on your algorithm so if you are seeing a lot of gambling ads it's because you interact with gambling related sites already.
Quite a moot point, no? If you don't like it then just don't do it. I do not think sig campaign managers would appreciate if a member is not really dedicated to the project. There are other members that they could take in instead and would happily be involved with the casino.

I think you're fine here wearing the casino signature, because you're in the appropriate page to advertise that. I am certain, there are no minors roaming around here as this platform is not in their best interest. Gambling ads are only alarming when it's posted in the social media and especially in a billboard and sports TV channel. Kids would definitely see them.
Even if we are going to install some application that controls what the kids can only see while streaming through their phones, they still can see it on TV and in the outside and that is something that we can't do much about. I guess, the best course of action to this is to keep constant communication with our kids telling them what's the right thing to do and what's the things they need to avoid at this early stage of their lives.
As much as we don't like it, but gambling is becoming more and more bold in public. They don't care who sees it, they only care on the potential profit they will gain by spreading the word everywhere.

Gambling advertisement have been flooded to the public fpr so long now that kids are now used to seeing them around and with all the negative influence that such adults content have on kids, government don't pay any attention to place more sensorship on gambling ads that we have around, hut since most third world countries are most unregulated in terms of gambling, their become a safe heavens for casinos to operate with whatever direction they want without being checked as long as their can pay few taxes.
On the issues of your desired signature space renting, we'll since your most preferences service to promote is presently bannedin the forum, you have no other choice that to keep promoting gambling platforms until further notice if thing's changes so be it.

If you’re able to have total control over your gambling habit, no amount of gambling ads will push you to gamble or even gamble beyond what you can afford to lose. Gambling is such an addictive hobby that you don’t know how much you’ve got addicted to it until you want to leave it or limit your way of gambling, it is then you’ll know how much you’ve gone so deep into it.

I know that gambling ads are mostly everywhere and I think their is need to control how they’re been displayed everywhere to avoid kids getting involved into it from young age. If people orientation or guidance is not given to them about the effect of gambling, they may fall for it so early that they won’t be able to have control over it, which is what needs to be avoided by all means.

I think this ads are a way the gambling sites or casino tend to let out their market to the public and moreso they are aware that this ads are usually eye catching that will eventually lure gamblers and newbies to see reason to wanting to use the sites or gamble. Sure gambling this way with this ads will indulge the young ones to gamble right at a tender age without prior orientation and they won't shy away from it and later get affected by it.

The packaging that gamblers are coming with currently is things that are actually encouraging people to want to gamble because most of the deposits come with bonuses, actually, and casinos are doing everything they can just to give their customers the best because of the value they have for customers, and the competition is actually high out there, so a lot of people will go for a better option. And one way or the other, the impact of gambling is always there, and it is not something that can be avoided. And one way or the other,, self-control is just the best because what gambling offers can just carry you away.

That is true, most casinos today are requiring KYC because of their license. Very few casinos are still anonymous today. Because gamblers now have more confidence when it comes to licensed casinos. Hence, the shift in interest to legal platforms. And because these casinos want to entice potential customers, hence, the ads. That's pretty normal for every business who wants more clients. Now, it is up to the player or user how he will filter the reputable casinos or gambling platforms

Those ads don't affect me fact, I don't see them influencing me to gamble in any way. And secondly, my child is not yet of the age where I need to worry about this. Gambling ads actually need to be sanctioned; they pop up even when the person is not interested in them. It's as if they force you to view them when you are busy scrolling through other stuff, and most times you can be driving past a road and notice a very bored billboard, but the one that appears more tempting is the video display ads on social media.

There are other reputable people that has the same sentiment as you, they don't want to put gambling ads on their sigs and they're following what they think is right with their conscience. You're free to do that if it's what you think is right based on your will. And the fact about those TV commercials and billboard ads about gambling, they're almost everywhere as long as the country doesn't prohibit the usage of casinos. That's why shows, commercials and any kind of these ads have a reminder about "parental guidance is advised".

The government are acting ignorant about this ugly development of intrusion into people's privacy by gambling ads. It could actually distract and take some part of the time you should have used in doing other stuffs online while you've to be clicking on the X button. Maybe if they make these ads in a way that it only appears where and when the user permits it then it's would have been much better than how they let it appear on all screens even to underage children when surfing the internet.

We have the same feelings, but as you can see, all signature campaigns are in a gambling casino, and the only option is to join and swallow our pride.  However, I now understand that those market ads have little effect since I don't believe there's a minor age here.

Yes, it could be.
For kids and teenagers, whose brains are still developing and whose impulse control skills are maturing, constant exposure to gambling ads can be particularly influential.  Research indicates that early exposure increases the likelihood of developing gambling problems later in life.  But think about it, this is why parenthood is very important for guiding children and preventing early exposure.  It's the parents' responsibility to guide them.

It is based on the browsing activity of where the gadget is used, and if one has often searched for a casino, the next time someone browses with that device, the gambling ads will pop. I'm not sure if it works with the same network/wifi but with a different device. But for TV ads, they're out of our control and they can appear in the naked eyes of the kids by the time they watch something. It could also be regulated by the government that these ads should pop at adults time, late at night.

Gambling ads have eventually turned into normality. People are no longer seeing it as a big deal, but surely the kids are. If we don’t educate and guide them as early as now, they might develop thinking that gambling is a good avenue especially when people are looking for instant source of income.

And so in the future, they will not hesitate to gamble and spend their hard-earned money, especially that what they see in gambling ads are those people who instantly earned huge amount and turn millionaires in just a short time.

Educate your children about gambling so that they do not become addicts from the influence of society because, just as you said, gambling advertisements are everywhere, and it will be difficult currently for you to restrict your child from being able to view one of these advertisements or come across it. In situations where you control their viewing at home, what about in schools, and what about the discussions they have with their friends and their peers?

The best way to counter the exposure that the advertisements are given to our children about gambling is to educate them about it and intimate them on the dangers before they even start considering it so that they know what they are getting themselves into, especially at that age.

I’ve seen friends lose a lot pursuing wins that never arrived and that screws with your mentality more than people understand. As for the sig thing I get it sometimes you just need to keep engaged in campaigns until something better comes along. It’s a challenging situation to be in yet you’re not alone in feeling conflicted.

In my estimation casino ads and gambling ads doesn't have as much effect as the thousands of conversations around betting and gambling that is being discussed on everywhere on the internet. Kids with unrestricted access to the internet come across these gambling and betting conversations everyday and are influenced more by them than the actual gambling ads which have become part of our daily life.

There is nothing that can be done about this because gambling and gambling ads are something that have been existing for a long time now. I think the best thing we can do for kids is to provide good awareness not to consider gambling at their age. Many things I never attempted to do were because I was given guidance, and it stuck in my mind. We can't stop gambling or even prevent gambling companies from promoting the gambling business.

Education is what people need so that even if they want to consider gambling, they will approach it in the right way and at the right time. When people are not enlightened about something, they abuse it, and it becomes a problem for them.

You're right. However, casino advertising or gambling ads have a lot of effect because they know that most people or children of the present age are addicted to the Internet. That is why such ads can be left everywhere. Then most will reach the most people and because of the extra greed, any person will be attracted to gambling or betting. However, no matter what gambling ads or casino ads should be kept out of reach of children, their future will be completely destroyed. However, adults are different because they have a lot of knowledge and can control themselves.

In my region, the boys from the young generation are more addicted to gambling and betting than ever before. I think it will have a lot of impact on their lives and could not get them out of his family online casino. Because the extra levels inside them have entered and I'm listening to other people they are engaged in worse. So it is best not to enter any type of casino or bet platform until adult.

It will not be possible to protect children from such adverts anyway, because nowadays children can surf the Internet on their own, they will still come across such adverts one way or another. Nevertheless, the impact of such advertising at a very young age is unlikely to be manifested, such advertising often has an impact on teenagers and older people, but everyone has their own head on their shoulders, so does it make sense to worry about them that decided to start playing?

Actually, those advertisements in the most of the cases are managed by technological companies like Google, Microsoft, or other similar ones which use users' data in order to target their public.
If the algorithm works as it is supposed to, then someone who registered using a Google or Microsoft account to see videos on the internet, and such a person is not over eight-teen years old, then advertisements showed to them should have nothing to do with gambling or betting. There are some filter mechanisms on place so only people over the legal age is able to get targeted by those ads.

Since Google knows you gamble and you talk about gambling regularly, they assume you will get interested on gambling ads, as simple as that.

Advertisements regarding casinos are everywhere here in our country. Heck, you can even see billboards that are meters in length and wide where it's clearly an advertisement of an online casino. On the other hand, I always see gambling advertisements in different social media platforms and it doesn't affect me at all because those ads isn't attracting me to gamble even more. I wonder how other people are getting affected with these though.

I know somebody that's gambling online, and when I asked why he's gambling, he said that he wants to make money. This is the effect of those gambling advertisements that we are seeing online and unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it. We have 2 options. Whether we get attracted to it and gamble, or just not gamble at all especially if you know the consequences of it.

As for me renting my signature for gambling, I don't have any mixed feelings at all because I believe that the people here are intelligent people and they all know the consequences of gambling. It's up to them if they will gamble or not at the end of the day. Mixer signature campaigns on the other hand will come back, but we don't know when, and there's no certainty that it will come back, but at least theymos shared something about removing ban in the future. :)

i agree with you on this, we should be more concerned about pornographic and dating ads that has been flaunting around lately, because this days it is becoming something Els. majority of  search i make in the internet must comes with dating and or pornographic ads which give me concern about the health our younger ones or kids, that they may get addicted into it if they happens to click on such ads. and the funny thing is that pornographic ads doesn't need any kyc to approve if you are under or above 18 years of age, and of course that is what we should be more concerned about. unlike gambling site that requires kyc before sign up to prevent under age teenage.  

I don't really know about the influence of gambling ads on people, because in the country I live, it happens to prohibit anything related to gambling. However, I feel that gambling ads can influence people, but there is nothing wrong with this, because if someone is blindly influenced (without finding out what the impact of gambling is) then it is the fault of that person. As for children, it should be the responsibility of parents to provide direction on what their children see in any media, so I think every device has parental control, be it on smart TVs, smartphones, and others.

Advertising gambling definitely influences and attracts the attention of people, not only those who are already into gambling but also those who were not interested in it before. Some just can not pass by seeing the ads that offer a huge bonus, free spins, or how someone won a huge prize with a minimum bet.

actually it is very difficult to avoid such advertisements, because greed is present in everyone, and many people cannot control their greed due to such tempting advertisements. Advertisements are usually made in such a way that they attract people's attention and arouse curiosity, and it attracts everyone's attention in the same way, but gamblers must also be responsible, gambling cannot be done uncontrollably just by seeing tempting advertisements, gamble with small amounts of money according to their ability, if you are really lucky, then you can win big by gambling with small amounts.

TV advertisements about gambling(mainly sports betting) are banned in my country. I don't see any gambling ads when watching videos on Youtube. I don't use any other social media platforms, so I guess that I'm not exposed to gambling ads at all. I have come to the conclusion that most people view sports betting as a socially acceptable form of gambling(just like the lotteries), while the traditional casino games are being depicted as dangerous. I don't know about the influence of gambling ads over kids and teenagers. I think that the gambler influencers on streaming platforms are way more dangerous for the kids than gambling ads.

I was using dating apps, they don't require to submit ID card or any other KYC things, but they ask to claim if I'm as the user already 18 years old or not. Sometime they also ask to verify my face by video, I think if they recognize my face was too young, they will suspend my account.

Yeah pornographic is more widely compared to gambling.

More and more I see children like 12-15 years old already having sex with their partners, imagine if they gets older.

It's about money --- because gambling advertisements pour more money into advertising everywhere including sports and some even become sponsors with large amounts of money, this is profitable for clubs or other fields.
Your concern cannot be prevented because advertisements on social media or other TV cannot be censored for children unless the country prohibits gambling.

That's up to you. Since signature campaigns on forums are not seen by children most people are adults, but if you have any doubts maybe you can just make up your own mind.
Expecting mixers to return is difficult because theymos is still very strict about banning them although next year he said he might be mixer-friendly.

Only a few dating apps require face or ID verification, not because they care about the age limit, but to ensure that scammers do not sign up.  Pornography sites, which are far worse than gambling, do not care about age limits; simply answer a few unverified questions and you're in.


Meanwhile pornography ads are everywhere on our search engines and on social media where kids are easily exposed to..

In other words, you believe that such advertising promotes gambling and subsequent gambling addiction, but a person, as a being, is gambling by nature, not by advertising. As for the risk of gambling addiction, the responsibility for this lies with the person himself.
__________

In general, I have noticed a tendency to inculcate infantilism, which is cultivated in a society when an individual's area of responsibility begins to be projected onto society or external circumstances.

It is a debate which could be even get stretched further into where personal responsibilities of an individual begins and ends. It reminds me a bit about the history of tobacco in the United States before it was scientifically proven smoking caused all kinds of health problems and it was common to see people smoking everywhere, even within vehicles.
In the end, nobody is being hold at gunpoint to join a casino or out their money at stake and see if they can get lucky or not, one has the final choice on what to do with one's money.
In the case of children, it is rather inevitable they will learn what gambling is, with all the access they have to internet and I fluencer promoting gambling.

It is responsibility of parents and caretakers to educate their children about what they are not supposed to partake in as children.

As like any other website, gambling sites need advertisement. Whilst there are many advertising sites as well but good form sites like google ads. microsoft ads or bing ads or X ads don't advertise gambling sites. That's why they rely on secondary advertising source with lesser regulation to advertise their service. Parts of it comes from the regulation in the country. Gambling as a profession is allowed in countries like EU, US, Japan, China, parts of India Australia and 192 countries in others. Skillset wise is is just making money over money. Forums play big part in advertising gambling sites. Due to high traffic and gamblers gathering websites flock to these forums to sell their services. They pay high ARR compared to the market rate. Its more like to get some chickens and sell eggs for bitcoin. but taking vacations when you have chickens is nontrivial. a lot moreso than taking vacations when you have dogs or cats. Realistically speaking without internet gambling would not have become popular leaving a few designated places in the world like Las Vegas, Dubai even parts of Thailand. Go try to sell some lottery tickets and nobody will spent more than $1 but go to any website and gambling sites will see huge revenue from around the world due to its nature of world wide web. Gambling possibly and practically bring a lots of revenue to any sate or country that embraces it.

There's parental control settings on some platforms that is enough to provide children and teenagers with the information they wants. If you are the guidance of those children, you can turn on that parental button and any sensitive information that is not meant for children will not come up. On DSTv, Netflix, and YouTube, you can see those settings and you can even subscribe to prevent ads.

After playing slots once recently, many social networking sites have now started to show me all sorts of slots apps and sites on a regular basis. I have no idea where they got the information that I was recently on a gambling site.
It feels like there is a constant trade of information between companies and social networks about who was where and what interests whom. And it is not pleasant because I feel like I am being forced to do something, even if it was my choice not long ago.

Gambling advertisements are now everywhere when using mobile phones. Especially online, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, everywhere is now filled with gambling advertisements. When children see all these gambling advertisements while using their mobile phones, they gradually become attracted to gambling. Gambling advertisements are made in such a way that people are most attracted to them. To keep children away from all these advertisements, they should be kept away from their mobile phones, they should not be allowed to use their mobile phones.

We are not in favor of gambling advertisements, but due to our poverty, we have to advertise gambling advertisements for the needs of our family. Although the mixer was active on the Bitcoin forum for a few months, the mixer is no longer active, and it is uncertain whether it will be in the future.

Those who gamble are mainly attracted to gambling by watching advertisements, but new gamblers are most likely to be attracted to it. It usually creates an impact on themselves, but only those who can control themselves in gambling are able to survive in gambling for a long time. You have to be most careful about how you spend your money in gambling, but you have to take it very responsibly.


If you do not rent your sig to the gambling site, then no one will request you, it completely depends on your will. But remember that the space you are occupying on the forum, if you refrain from the sig space, then any other person is ready to occupy this space. So you should never be proud of yourself before, because no one here has forced anyone to be responsible for promoting sig.

Yea we aren't sure if and when mixer campaigns will be unbanned which you've said already but as for the ads I think we are helpless in this case because there's no way you'll be feeling business man thats paying for his or her adverts to stop doing the things that helps his or her business to grow, yea parents can help in preventing their children from seeing those ads in their phone or gadgets but long can this be, for me I feel there's no way this children won't see this ads because even in the absent of their parents may in the school when they are not really supervised much what then happens, the only thing to do as parents is to advise them on the need for them not to concentrate on those ads since they are not of the game to gamble and also make them to understand things regarding gambling, I think that's what we need to do, gambling has come to stay, it will better for us to figure out ways to tackle it's excessivenees and try as much as possible to straighten up the heads of people we feel are protecting in other no to go astray, this is my take on this.

Seeing ads everywhere may not mean harm to kids that see them because it takes a good understand for you to know what these ads were meant for. Sometimes I could see a ads and just scroll without pondering about it actual meaning or what it implies. This is so because your mindset might not relate to such ads at that moment which is same reaction with kids. They may see the ads but not understand what it's actually meant for unless they do research about it.

I have seen many casinos ads on football clubs jerseys and they have nothing to do with someone that is not into gambling. You need to a thorough understanding about a ads before you could interpret it solid meaning which is why most of these ads do not have significant effects on kids that do not know about it or  if they are actually casinos ads or something else.

Gambling ads is done in a way that those that have limited knowledge about it would have nothing to do with it or just ignore it. There are different kind of ads and they all convey different levels of impact to the the society.

Common places where those ads has been posted is on Tiktok and Meta. This is somehow dangerous for young peoples mind especially if those ads will create certain wrong expectation about getting easy money. That's why before any bad things happen especially that most of the young adults right now or even children have smart phones is to guide them towards saying that gambling is hard and not a venue for them to earn easy richest.

Once they know the real score about it for sure that gambling ads won't surely affect them.

Gambling ads created to became more attractive to catch people's interest that's why we make sure that we are always available to answer the questioned asked by young individuals around us and to guide them well not to expect a lot on gambling ads that they see since somehow there are lots misleading things advertise online that can possibly harm them.

Maybe you should start by sharing the name of your country because mine isn't this way, I don't see billboard with gambling adverts every time, maybe once in a blue moon and they don't stay up for long before they get removed, and I don't see how this could affect any kids around.

Normally this is something you can't keep away from kids, even if your country laws don't support the public advert of anything that's gambling related, it still won't stop many kids from the feeling of gambling.

I would rather monitor my kids and lead them right when they want or feel like gambling than them gambling and keeping it as secret at my back.

Gambling is for people who are above plus eighteen years because at that age one expected to become mentally developed and take decisions that are rational and that includes taking decisions on gambling it's true that there are allot of gambling adds that are out there both on and off the net it's the duty of parents in making sure that they monitor what their children are consuming especially from the net for the safety of their children but you can't actually stop casinos from running adds

Exactly, in my country it is the same, there are no billboard adverts or TV adverts featuring gambling. at most we can find adverts featured on social media such as Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.


In the end, kids will know about gambling, no matter how well we hide it, they will still find out on their own, they can find out from anywhere, maybe from friends or online adverts when they play social media.

The most frequent gambling ads I find are on Facebook and Instagram. For Youtube, they seem to have a better system for not showing gambling ads for countries where gambling is not legal. However, on FB and Instagram, these ads are made like a game and weak ad filters make it easy for advertisers to publish their ads on both social media. I am so tired of seeing annoying gambling ads on FB and Instagram pages. Because of the irregularity of the ads there, I stopped using this social media a long time ago, unless I need a secondhand goods/product that is easy to find via the marketplace on this social media. well I agree with you, If not from friends, these two social media will definitely be used by our children someday when they grow up. This will make them curious and try to open the ads they see or they will try to explore by own initiative.

Parenting is key when you talk about ads but then in this modern era of technology, you almost cannot control the things your children have access to, because if they don't have access to them around you or at home , they have friends within the area to access them these things or they have friends in school were they can access these sights.
However, I know that most gambling ads will always stipulate  the +18 factor for children so, they should know that they are not of age to do gambling. Because the ads has stipulated that or even parents can guide their children on it.
Also, it is not bad for children to be aware of  the fact that there is what is called gambling, because these children will become adults one day and reality will hit them, so it is better to keep them prepared, also if we understand the concept of gambling ,you will understand that it is not a bad thing to gamble. Because I know so many people who are surviving with gambling, I also know people who have belt  houses with bet money. So the watch word is to guide our underage children and not to prevent them from knowing what gambling is all about.

Just as expected these places will be the most common target with those companies on which they would be that trying out to place themselves on having those ads. Why? Of course when it comes to traffic then social media would be the biggest on which means that once they've seen up those banners or ads then its impossible that none of those million people do sees it out wont be able to click even once. This is why its really that very common that we do able to see up these ads on which its not only limited to gambling alone but also in other industries as well and thats why we can say that its that it will be that highly influential into those young people would be able to see those ads and also with those old ones on which it will be that influencing and having that probability on dealing up with something on which basing up on what you have seen and thats the main motive on why these ads exist on the first place. If it turned out to be that already part of your life then make it sure that you wont just be simply dealing up with it.

Usually people do mess up their lives just because of engagement directly without even thinking up the probabilities about on the risks involved with it specially with gambling. If you arent that wary about into those potential danger then you will be that likely to experience it first before making up some realizations. Whereas, you can eventually be able to avoid it without needing for it to be experienced if you are just that sensible into the actions that you are taking into. Its impossible that you cant be able to determine on whats the potential results or outcomes on things that might be ending up into. So it will be just that up to you in regarding into this aspect.

This is why it's important to educate your kids about the dangers of gambling. Whether we like it or not there are certain things that cannot be controlled and one of them is the ads that we see on Tv stations. The companies have to run their adverts to get more customers, it's not their duty to regulate anything that's passed across when kids see such. As a parent this is where you come in, you must think of ways to restrict them from viewing

Not only this, sometimes we see such ads on social media which are embarrassing to watch in front of our family, meaning they promote nudity and gambling.
And if it is in front of children, then I have no words to describe it. And what's worse is that none of the casino sites we see promoted on social media are reputable to me. In most cases, every name I hear seems new. So I think there's a high chance that those casinos are scammers.

I don't really know how to avoid these issues because I have reported them to Google Ad Sense many times as not interested, but still these types of ads appear in front of me.

Gambling sites has dominated every sector because they generates more income that can afford every billboard to place there ads, even in various football leagues clubs are sponsored by gambling, I think they are one of the highest income generating companies so far especially the ones operated through crypto payment for staking and some other additional functions in the platform, it's everywhere even outside the forum, it's everywhere.

It doesn’t come as a surprise. Gambling is a huge industry. Probably one of the biggest. People all around the world watch games and make bets. The dream of getting rich one day never ends.

My concern though, is that if these casinos can affect the outcome of these games… when gambling gets that big, it makes me raise my eyebrows. I am probably not alone in this. Other people probably ask the same question as well. Can casinos affect game results? There is a lot of money going in to these casinos and I am having a hard time to believe that all those games are played fair and square.

We talk of gambling ads now as if they are the only worst of advertisment this days online, what about the way waywardness has taken over the street and social media, where you easily see people being naked as a result of getting fame and being recognized, what about the incidence of the use of malicious links to attack others funds, hack into accounts and then scam people.

Have we also forgotten about the corruption in the society, as people were found with dubious lies to achieve their personal ambitions, gambling ads is no harm when compared to the weight others things I've mentioned caused in the society and online.

Kids may get curious and may want to see it for themselves. Which is why another line of defense is casinos making sure that every customer is of legal age. This is where KYC comes from which usually are strict enough so that no kids can enter through even if they wanted to

You can decide to not advertise gambling sites if you think it contradict your beliefs but I do not see any problems with advertisings for casino. Casino advertisement through your signature are like a job for you. You are not forcing anyone seeing your advertisement to gamble but you are only passing out a message for people that are already gamblers, of the offers that the casino that you are advertising is offering. Advertisment are not an endorsement therefore you should not be held responsible for anyone that goes to gamble irresponsible and put their finances in a bad condition. Gambling ads are just like other ads, they do not pose any threats because no one is making it mandatory for you to patronize the casinos.

You correctly noted the situation with children when you pointed out the responsibilities of parents and guardians. Of course, they should explain to the child what gambling is and from what age it is allowed to try gambling. In the broader sense of their responsibilities, parents should explain to their children what advertising is, and why they should not unconditionally follow any beautiful picture and promises, but first learn more and form a more balanced opinion about something.

Gambling ads are banned in my country (actually, I didn't know that they were banned, but I never seen it, so just I searched on Google for clarification for the same and realized, they are indeed banned — one thing at least that my country did right).

Users didn't explain how their life changed because of gambling. I'm sure some ppl won't know when they should stop so it becomes out of control. I don't expect ppl to say their life story but I asked how's gambling affected you & ppl you know ?

What do you actually want to hear? It’s gambling, man it’s nothing new. People already know what it is, and addiction isn’t something the gambling industry alone can be blamed for.

That’s why there are always warnings, like “you must be 18+” and “gamble responsibly.” It’s about personal responsibility.
You’re even wearing the signature, so you should be proud of it since you’re earning from it. Otherwise, don’t join gambling campaigns.

I think they already share their own opinion and also maybe experience to. We don't expect you to believe on the opinions provided by other since for sure that you might somehow get disappointed on someone's view point towards the topic you want to raised here.

Somehow their are people's life change especially if they caught up on the ads they see then get attracted to gamble and end in bad faith especially when they experience addiction.

But somehow there are people casually gamble because they know its risky to continue because they maybe know that they might lose big amount later on.

On how it affect to each people well maybe depends on the level of their knowledge and severity of their activities, because if they gamble to much then maybe they might came to the point that it will be so hard to control their selves and this situation might cost them lots of money losses.

There is a big difference when it comes to displaying ads like that in adult environments and places where there are kids. I do agree that kids should not be exposed to these things as it affects them negatively in the future. But when it comes to the adult side of things, I see no harm. Someone who is not inclined to gamble, will not become a gambler easily just by seeing a lot of ads. Besides depending on where you see the ads, you can block them if you want to. So being a good adult you should know how to use ad blockers and then you can choose what you want to see.

A lot of people have problems with this personal responsibility thing, and gambling is not a good way to teach them this.

OP, what bothers you when you wear gambling signature? I dont think we have underaged here, who read forum and focus only on gambling content. If an underaged finds this forum, imo he would have come here for guides how-to do something with wallet or crypto, or have a problem with crypto and would search help here. I dont think that underaged come here on purpose to look for a better casino to gamble. As majority are adults here your conscience should be clean, you are not promoting anything bad.

Maybe what Op is linking is related to ethics and also his religion. We don't know for sure, but we know that some have discussed it about gambling and religion. All will be left to each person's judgment, and we don't need to interfere.
Gambling is currently easily accessible to anyone, we can only supervise our family members and warn them about the risks. We can only make sure that when they gamble, they understand and comprehend the possibilities that occur, even the worst possibilities that must be accepted.

OP hasnt mentioned anything about religion, but if it is forbidden, then I dont wear signature. I dont even know what to say and how to act, if gambling is forbidden by religion, and almost every post in forum consist gambling ads under it. What people who are strongly religious should do? Leave forum, disable signatures, never visit gambling section? Imo, gambling has become so popular that it is already a part of everyones life. Just pay minimum attention to it or dont focus on it at all. Alcohol is sold everywhere, ads are everywhere, people openly use it everywhere, yet nobody close children eyes with their hand every time there is alcohol around.

Aside from religion, the other factor which he can consider is he can be the cause for someones addiction in case a member here decided to gamble after seeing his signature code by posting here.

It’s not really a big deal and the chance of that to happened is very low because all of here discussed gambling on daily basis even without signature campaign.

Signature campaign is just an extra promotion for gambling since we have a board dedicated for gambling itself.

One thing I know of sure is that we can't control the Internet by ourselves, but we have the right and capacity to control our children on the use of the internet, they should not be too exposed without being oriented on the use of the online marketing they may be seing through ads and other advertisement medium, as we know how big the Internet is how how many ads one could have come across together with gambling ads and other none gambling ads, and now, we are getting used to them already.

I have no data to backup, but I'm sure 99% of people in this forum are 18+ years old. In such ages, we know what good and bad thing to us, any choice we make, we have to take the risk if something happen in the future.

Young people are very prone, they still don't have a good logic and will try anything they see on their screen.

I know this forum could affect people to gamble, but if they're already mature, I don't see anything wrong with that.

I'm not sure.

As many people are struggle to meet their end needs, both parents have to work and they even have to take for double or triple jobs. They will don't have time to control their children, we not even talk how do they grow their child when they're busy with their own life.

Forbid them to use cell phone seems not a good way to, when a child taught by strict parents, in the future they would be either coward or too free.

There are a lot of things that kids shouldn't see, but they do because they live in this world. Gambling ads aren't that bad in my opinion. In countries where gambling is legal and the government allows platforms to do business and pay their taxes, it isn't a problem. When it comes to kids, it's the responsibility of their parents to make sure that they don't get affected by such things because at the end of the day, a kid doesn't do whatever they see as long as their upbringing is good, so it's the parents that can make kids avoid or do certain things until they reach a specific age which marks their freedom, mostly it's 18 years. Still, it could be higher or lower based on the region.

You mentioned about your signature space and the gambling signature campaigns, I would say that we barely have kids in this forum because we are in an era where kids don't like simple things such as this forum, they wouldn't have any interest in creating an account and reading only texts by spending hours like most of us because they like visuals, and they will be more into social platforms than forums like these. So, you shouldn't worry about that unless you find it unethical and against your moral values in general.

I had always have this impression on underage people being relatively new to the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, so they are likely to visit the newbie section of the forum, instead of venturing directly to the gambling section of this forum in order to search for places to wager their money.
Beside, those newbies may be young, lacking of experience but they are not stupid, they would sooner than later realize there will be restrictions for them to use casinos and withdraw any potential winning to their personal wallets. They would realize that as soon as they learn what KYC is, and that will discourage them from gambling, at least in the most popular, bigger and KYC compliant casinos within this ecosystem and those which have presence in this forum.

You are saying two different things in your post. First, you are targeting children, and second, you are thinking about your signature renting, as you are also advertising it. It's true that casinos are investing too much in advertising, and they are doing it on different levels and places, such as TV, billboards, and here on the forum. For people, it's annoying, but for them, it's a source and a way through which they earn. However, they are affecting those people and children who are not interested. But on this forum, there are almost no children, so you are showing the signatures to those who are independent in their decisions, and you are not forcing them. If you really care and don't want to be part of any casino, then the best option is to leave the campaign and wait until you find another campaign you want. However, I would suggest staying because you are just showing, not forcing, for adoption.

Advertising is a marketing strategy of any business, including gambling. Advertising can basically attract new customers to try the game, but it is a personal responsibility when they get trapped and lose a lot of their money. Gambling is not just about winning money, but gambling is a game that allows gamblers to lose all their money. It is okay to gamble as long as they are responsible, but problems will still arise when they become too addicted.

In some countries, gambling advertising is probably banned because gambling is illegal. Even in countries where gambling is legal, I think they can also minimize advertising to reduce the number of problem gamblers. I have heard of countries like that where they ban gambling advertising, but they legalize gambling.

It doesn’t make sense IMO.. why would the government ban advertising if they allow casinos to operate in the first place?

Advertising is how casinos attract more players and increase their revenue. And in today’s world, social media is the biggest platform for ads. Some even use vloggers and influencers to promote their casinos.

If casinos are legal, then advertising them shouldn’t be a big issue, as long as it’s done responsibly.

It's possible and depends on the political will and its laws of the government.

Casinos has large tax contribution to government if collected properly that's why authorities don't want to ban them but to regulate them instead.

While advertising is really good but it should be taken with policy, vloggers insert casino promotion video even at the very random meme videos or has logo on it as watermark, i know its against on casino advertising laws and on the socmed site's policy

Gambling and casino advertisements are so annoying that there is no space on social media where these advertisements do not appear. Currently, gambling and casino advertisements are placed on all online-based media, from billboards on the streets to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at home. If such annoying advertisements keep coming repeatedly in the middle of doing some important work, then the mind of the people is not right. We are so fed up with all these advertisements that now we do not want to enter social media. People of all classes, especially from children to the elderly, are fed up with seeing all these annoying gambling advertisements.

No, they can't ban showing casino ads, which have become very intrusive lately. For example, I see them almost every day several times in Telegram channels. How can you like that? You shouldn't show them so persistently. Why? People might perceive them as some kind of spam, and then start taking appropriate measures. Mass complaints could lead to a total blocking of this type of advertising.

You will also be shown gambling advertisements when you watch videos on YouTube. If you find it boring to watch videos, when you watch live broadcasts of any program or game, you will see gambling advertisements being shown to you at every break. Even when you go out with your family or go out for your work, you will see gambling advertisements being shown on various LED displays on the street. That is, why do you know that gambling is being involved in all aspects of the current time? Big gambling companies are selecting big stars for their branding promotion and in exchange for big stars, the positive aspects of that gambling site are being highlighted, as a result of which people who follow those stars are getting inspired to gamble by watching the stars. Gradually, I think people will be able to learn more about gambling and people will gamble more in the future.

Not when the advertisers are paying the platform they are advertising on, taking telegram you mentioned as an example, advertising on telegram is not free, it cost good money to buy those ad spaces, so even if telegram users start reporting the persistent display of those ads, telegram  themselves are the ones displaying those ad, what they will have to do is reduce the frequency by which they display the ad, not outrightly blocking the ads they are making money from.

Personally though, I would say that ads are normal, when you come across one or two or even more, you either like it, view it or simply ignore and move to what you want to do, mass reporting can not stop ads, it can only lead to readjusting.

If there is no mass complaints, gambling ads will still available on many places. So we can only accept the ads but we don't have to playing gambling because we take responsible and control over ourselves. If he decide not to gambling, he will not tempting to playing gambling because of seeing the gambling ads.

No one will force you to gambling because it is personal decision so we don't have to feel it is annoying although that is right. We need to realize that gambling ads become part of our life now besides seeing the other ads.

I also think it's quite strange that he feels bad about wearing a casino signature when this forum is filled with mostly adults who should be aware of gambling. I mean, there's nothing wrong with the casino signature that many users here wear, it's not a bad platform that scams people, it's just a gambling platform, what's wrong with a gambling platform? unless the gambling platform scams many users, like the 1xbit case, then he can feel guilty for promoting a scam gambling site. But I think most gambling platforms that run signature campaigns on this forum are responsible and have a reputation. But I don't know, each person has their own views, and maybe the OP has a different view on this than the rest of us.

I hope that kids are not on this forum.

We face many dilemmas. Societal versus personal. We cannot only pray that they don't get influenced by it. And you know that you can't even stop this gambling adds that are everywhere. Your gambling signature campaign is not bad because there is a caution for everyone to gamble responsibly. And there is even more caution that gambling is not for those who are under 18. And even before you argee sign up on the casino and any betting website you need to first agree to their terms of service which carries all the warnings against gambling irresponsibly.

That is true, ads dont force or encourage anyone to gamble and it is only a personal decision how to react on ads. I am so used to them, I have seen so many of them and so often, that I skip if it is possible or "see through" them, meaning I dont even focus on them or notice when they pop-up during watching content. Imo they have become so common, that they might not even work as planned. I think casinos does not get same reaction as they were getting 10 years ago from running an advertisement.

I don't think that those "kids" are on this forum. One thing more is that, there are many online gambling websites as well that accepts fiat currencies so as much as I want to hate these huge gambling advertisements everywhere, I guess it's safe to say they're here to stay, and it's up to us now if we will get attracted and try to gamble because we saw these advertisements or not.

Gambling advertisements are everywhere and there will, and will always be people that will get attracted by this and will try to gamble as well. Maybe they're curious about how gamblers feel whenever they're gambling. Maybe they got attracted by those huge winnings that they see online. Maybe they just want to have fun. Whatever the case is, gambling advertisements will remain, and as long as the government will not prohibit it, they will be here to stay. As for the gambling signature campaign, I believe that most of the active users here are kind of gambling as well, and if they're not, they know the consequences that they might face whenever they gamble.

At the end of the day, we might see gambling advertisements here and there whether it's a physical one or a digital one, but it's our decision as a responsible person whether we will gamble or not. It's our decision on how much money do we need to spend on gambling. We might see lots of advertisements, but we might not get attracted at those winnings at all.

Yes, once advertisements had a great impact on people, it can be said that they were attracted to gambling by watching advertisements, but it was much more influential before, now the influence of advertisements does not penetrate deeply into people, people are now much more aware, those who are somewhat mentally aware, advertisements have no effect on them. But for those who are weak-minded and easily tempted and greedy by seeing tempting offers, these advertisements can still have a profound impact. All in all, it can be said that the influence of advertisements is relatively less in the present compared to the past, but it will never stop completely, because greedy and weak self-control gamblers will always exist.

You did well in selecting the topic because it's something that a lot of people can relate to, it's a quality topic that will keep on having more engagements and contributions.  Gambling ads has been a major concern to a lot of people and the post you made about it gave others the opportunity to also enlighten others about what they know on the topic. I'm still going through the thread and I like how interactive it gets everyday.

Gambling ads is so rampard nowadays and there is nothing anyone can do to stop them because gambling is a legal business. Whoever doesn't like gambling wouldn't be lured by these ads but get paranoid because it's like a distraction to him. Only those who will love to partake in gambling that can be tempted by these endless ads and start gambling. Personal decisions matters alot.

It doesn't matter how hard parents try to stop their kids watching gambling ads they're going to watch them by accident. If we're being honest we know they've seen the forum. Some kids might have user accounts we don't know.

I don't think that those kids have seen the forum already. They've probably saw another one that's pure gambling contents. But you're right that no matter how much we try to stop our kids, one time and point of their lives they'll still see gambling related ads and topics that they will be curious to know what it's actually. Because of social media and their access to the internet, they've seen somewhere these colorful games that they think is for their innocent minds. But if they tick on their curiosity, they will start asking or research about it until most of the search history on their browsers will suggest them ads and other stuff that are related to it.

Ads promotions online is far from what we are talking about here in this there, I believe what the ops I complaining about is the physical billboard promotions as like what we see daily on our road and Streets including other public places that kids can not be protected from getting exposed to such materials, although most times, is more important to always take your own steps further to guide where and what your kids sees, because gambling is life threatening for underage and at that we need to prevent them from getting involved in gambling at young age.

That's the hope we're sharing. I hope kids don't look at bitcointalk I hope they don't have accounts for posting. Kids can get curious so we don't know what they're doing when it's about bitcointalk but gambling ads in every day life affects ppl of every age grouping.

I agree with you that advertising does not force anyone to gamble and does not create a reaction in them that they must be tempted to engage in it. Advertising has recently created a regular and habitual reaction in people where you are constantly seen on social media and TV and we have also adapted ourselves in such a way that it does not arouse any emotion or feeling in us.

The advertising and the traffic used to show people ads can have a positive reaction in some cases. Many people like you may consider advertising as a normal thing but a large number of people involve gamble through advertising.

Well, I don't know about you guys but for me, I don't see any bad thing in kids being on this forum, kids being here may not necessarily mean that they are here for or to gamble, they may be here to learn about bitcoin and crypto currency which to me is not a bad thing as long as they have parent or guardian close to them to guide them through and appropriately.

Personally, ads kids see offline like in banners and flyers and signposts doesn't do much harm to them, kids can't just walk into a physical casino and want to gamble.
What does more harm is online ads, and we as parents can control what our kids see online by simply blocking them access to smartphones and devices until they are of age.

As much as I know that gambling is not healthy for the underage people or even those who find it difficult to raise funds to stake on it and same time, over sighting it as a measure to be successful, I would say I am not in support of how gambling ADs are being revolving in the internet especially the media where the ADs unnecessarily keep popping which could attract individuals who does not have plans to gamble to begin gambling.

And acknowledging that before anyone should begin to gamble, awareness of the potential risks such as addition should have been noted in order to stay healthy while gambling.

I will say that of ADs popping on users devices while surfing the internet for different motive should be considered for safe health control.

Certainly a two way market that people openly talk about, and the media do not censor it much better, but it's not controllable in the society. Parents may share gaming thoughts around kids or allow the reaction of losing or winning make the children ask or think of what may have toned their dad or mom to behave in an odd manner. The impacts ad makes online is to fetch awareness, literally what any licensed company would do.

It's always like that when a topic gain the attention of community members, most interactive topics are like that so, don't be surprised to see this one like that, the issues of gambling control os everyone concerns and ads controls and display os something that have become a concerned to none gamblers.

As they complained 9f adverts everywhere promoting casinos, and gambling and they concerns are the impact of that to the underage kids who get exposed to such adverts.

They don't directly force anyone, but they subconciously pass you that it's part of our everyday lives. They are pretty much everywhere, in football matches, on TV, on social media, on newspapers, magazines, even adult sites. Although we're gamblers ourselves, I don't really favour the idea of it being displayed everywhere, it's not something positive and it may as well lure teenagers (16-18) into gambling at an extremely early age. It was an activity that was frowned upon a few years ago, but it's considered quite normal in our day and age.

These ads has literally become part of us, as we see them every day. Are the companies to be blame?, no of course..., they are running a company and offering a service, so they need to promote what the do. The only issue is that kids are often exposed to these mediums that these companies use in promoting their services.

But come to think of it, were gambling ads this rampant decades ago?, I don't think so. The world is moving faster that than we can imagine, and gambling isn't necessary the only thing we need to protect children from. But at the end of the day, maybe the people offering to promote these services through their platforms are not doing enough to protect all underage.

It always depends on you. If you don’t want to see gambling ads, then don’t engage with them. I mean, if you often see ads during football games, then don’t watch football.
If you see a lot of signature ads on bitcointalk, then don’t visit bitcointalk The reason you're seeing gambling ads is because of you.
Just imagine if you were a farmer, do you think you’d see gambling ads on the farm?

But don't worry, mixer signature campaigns will be back soon. Maybe next year just check this thread for updates.

I see in some Australian TV as I know it from the ads that is an Australian TV where I watch sport games or F1 and I see a lot of gambling ads with the gamble responsible and 18+ logo in the bottom left of the screen. They used to give a lot of such ads in Europe too though now I am not seeing anymore ads about betfair, william hill, ladbroke or bet365 which were massive in such televisions. Most probably because there is a law and I am not sure about it that asks TV-s who show such publicity to pay a lot of taxes to the government and as a consequence these televisions ask a lot of money from the sport bet providers, I guess this is the reason in Europe, televisions like Sky, DAZN and a few other platforms don't show anymore such type of ads and I think it is an overall good for all of us, anyone who want to gamble can find his way, though through television not giving anymore people such ideas.

There are some situations that you can not help because it is what it is, I will never understand why everyone always blame gambling. This ads are everywhere we see alcohol brands sponsoring lots of program even football at the highest stage and the run adverts not just that even cigarettes and other things that aren't meant for the eyes of kids.
But a kid won't actually understand gambling except they don't have good guidance. There is an age limit for every gambling company which can help in a way so let's stop pointing hands at gambling for every thing.

The casino has always had huge budgets for advertising, but due to restrictions, it could not use these funds in such a way that advertising was visible to as large an audience as possible. It is only recently, when the ban on casino advertising has been lifted in many countries, that we see it at the most prestigious tournaments.

Gambling ads can be compared to a bus that will stop or pass by at every bus stop. Now, if you are at the bus stop and see it stop or pass in front of you, it is up to you whether
you get on or not. It will leave on its own if you don't get on.

So, since we can't stop this because it is part of the gambling owners' marketing strategy, we just need to educate our children correctly
while they are still young.

You could say something similar to all the exchanges advertising their products with graph showing how people get rich quick. I understand what you are saying, but as long as that industry is financially powerful, all those ads will be found on club jerseys, formula 1 helmets, everywhere. No matter which jersey kids want to buy today, it is likely that the sponsor is a casino or betting company.

But this is not the only example, you could argue the same about caffeine drinks and how small kids buy that shit. In the U.S. there are places where it is restricted, but also places where it is not.

You could go on with with vapes and e-cigarettes, junk food, social media. All of this doesn't make other bad things any less harmful, but as mentioned above gambling can have many forms. if someone believes to become the next big day trader, you can lose your money as fast as you can with excessive gambling.

I think it’s just better there is restriction on where gambling adds is suppose to be placed. If adds are placed everywhere, then it’s going to lead to underage gambling, which is going to increase addiction rate. When the young one’s keeps on seeing the advertisement, some of them will want to give it a trial, which is really harmful to them, and the young ones are the ones that can easily be brainwashed, and most of them will find it difficult to manage the risk, and at the end you going to see underage being addicted to gambling, which we know that underage are not really allowed to gamble.

Have heard it before when a young boy used his school fess to gamble expecting the money to increase, but unfortunately he lost the bet, and he thinks their is no way he can get back the money, and he ended up committing suicide, he believes thats the best which he can do. So it’s better gambling sites are not allowed to promote their company everywhere.

To access this forum there may be some kids who are quite interested, But I don't think most kids will easily know this forum because of gambling ads,
gambling ads will directly provide information about gambling websites and not this forum, but yes it can be more dangerous.

The ads that appear on their devices can also be caused because parents visit gambling sites on their home internet,
and it will be a digital footprint that will be a new algorithm for searches and ads that will appear on all internet-connected devices in that home.

So, if parents do not supervise their children well, then gambling sites will be the sites they visit and they are finally curious to try it,
but if parents are strict enough and do filters on their devices of course it can be avoided, however children should not access sites that are not suitable for them to browse.

Oh no, kids can be on the forum but not kids in the gambling board. One user some time back was describing how he used his brother's details to sign up on a gambling site because he wasn't of age yet. These are the kind of things that should not happen where another mature user is discussing gambling strategies and give top gambling tips to another user whom they didn't know is a kid.


Parents should be present in their kid's everyday life. If you are handing them a mobile phone, it should come pre installed with serious blockers which have been verified by you.

This kind of advertising is aimed at those who are weak emotionally, it is not just some victim, no, it is a full-fledged player who will bring money to the casino. Conscious people who do not succumb to addiction consider such advertising as a way to relax and they look at the casino, whether it attracts them in the first place whether they will be comfortable to spend time, if at all, of course, consider

Casinos advertise directly on various sites and social media, some of them also pay content creators to advertise on social media. Many children get gambling advertisements from various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and several others. We can also find gambling advertisements from various sites, even on crypto price monitoring sites we can see gambling advertisements displayed clearly at the top.

I've never come across bitcointalk advertised, except there are some people doing it for free in some places. Underage children are not directly involved in gambling because they access bitcointalk, but most of them are involved in gambling because of the influence of their friends or perhaps gambling advertisements that they see on various social media or on several websites they visit.

I don't know how gambling ads were decades ago but gambling ads are common now. We look at many ads so we forget we're looking at them. It doesn't matter if it's in the forum or on billboard ads gambling's every where it's become normal to see them.

Even if they are, it does not matter. You need to think straight about this. If they don't see these ads on this forum, they will see it somewhere else. To protect kids from the internet is the parents and then the governments responsibility. Nowadays people let they kids use technology way too early, so they are at fault.

I think it also depends a lot on where you live. It is not allowed everywhere to advertise stuff like gambling this much.

Gambling ads are like a bus stop where the bus has to stop whether there are passengers or not. So when we do an important task, the compulsive gambling ads that come in front of us are inevitable, whether we want to see them or not. Since we have no control over it, it has become an integral part of our lives. We cannot avoid it now, just like when a gambling advertisement comes on while watching a program, we automatically have to watch the advertisement along with the program. Now it has become a part that we have to watch even if we don't want to.

Positive advertising is one way to gain a big boost with any business. It doesn’t just rest on gambling sites but, it’s agreeable that serious fundings is been put into advertising by gambling casinos and sportsbook. Why shouldn’t they? There are a lot of wrong narratives about gambling out there and these adverting not only try to get customers but, they do try to change some things. I’ve come across ads that advices you to gamble responsibly and has age specifications. Also, advertising is one way to spread funds through so many hands.

When it comes to kids seeing the ads, I think their parents can control what they see and utilize by blocking off certain type of ads or certain site URLs from the network provider to the children devices. Parental controls are very necessary in what children should see as it forms the way they act, think and behave.

I don't see much problem with renting your signature for gambling advert since you don't promote irresponsible gambling, you talk of mixers as though they are the angels without flaws, let me remind you that money is laundered a lot through them, so they aren't even totally healthy for kids to see.  It doesn't matter which company you advertise, as long as you don't promote the negatives of it.

Adults have a responsibility to protect their kids but it's like they won't be able to stop their kids from looking at ads because they're every where. If adults get sucked in to gambling because of ads they won't be able to stop their kids getting sucked in.

It’s a little disturbing but slowly it seems like it’s becoming a norm as people are not paying attention anymore. I see almost all gambling ads on TV channels and social media. It seems like there are no more restrictions that can set policies on any ads and if we don’t have control then this exposure for kids will be harder to limit.

If a gambling autograph doesn’t suit you then why force yourself to wear it and I think it’s the same as spitting on yourself. Mixers are banned from the forums and the only thing dominating the signature space is gambling sites so if you don't fit in then you shouldn't use it. You have to be consistent with the statements you make and be able to wait for a mix campaign that you can join.

I don't think parent should be concerned much about gambling ads, what they should be more concerned about is pornography because that is easier to corrupt kids than gambling ads. Gambling ads requires you to sign up, fund your account before you can start betting and of course children may not have the money to fund and play or they might as well not know how to gamble except they are been tough but in pornography they can easily claim being above 18 years of age and begin to watch and that will leed to corruption so for me gambling adds has nothing much to affect kids rather porn ads because they are almost every where on the internet right now.

Parents must remind their kids from unresponsible ads that coming to their phone. Their kids may see so many ads like that while they browse the Internet. So parents should explain the danger and risks that their kids will face if they are involve in gambling or other things.

It needs understanding from their kids that if they are playing gambling, they must meet the consequences of becoming addicted to gambling. That can risk their life because once they are addicted to gambling, they will not do other things and only think about gambling. If their kids can control themselves, parents will not worry about anything bad. So parents and kids need to be close in their relationship so their kids can talk privately with their parents.

I think that children do read bitcointalk and other forums. During bounty era and years ago we had cryptotalk forum signature campaign that paid for each post and accepted almost everyone, forum was filled with school children. Otherwise I cant explain poor posting. But I am not sure that signature ads on the forum are the one that spoil or might spoil children. Forums and children are already a passing era. They prefer chats and other social media, so I wont be so worried about children seeing gambling signature and starting gambling.

I even think that children and gambling (original gambling games; casino and betting) problem is exaggerated. Firstly I think they have to many things to pay attention to or try, that gambling is just one out of thousands where they spend their money on. Secondly, gambling that is offered from signatures is not kind of gambling they prefer. Instead of rolling roulette or wheel with money prizes, they will roll a wheel that will give them virtual game prizes, skins, boosts or gaming money. If we would have a signature that would advertise counter strike box skin gambling, that would be a problem.

That something potentially dangerous for people's health is advertised is certain, but if we look at the economic side it is
simply business.
Let's also say that these are the companies that can afford to invest large sums in advertising and therefore have a good share in the sector.
I'm not happy about this but it's the reality, they advertise their product and this cannot be avoided.

We've seen gambling ads become part of daily life. We know ppl are influenced by ads. Gambling ads are every where ppl can't use tv or internet with out watching ads. When you're watching ads do you feel pressure & pushed to gamble ?

Though, I would say that assuring gambling advertising has become part of one's daily life is rather an exaggeration. There are other industries which target their audience and possible costumers in a more aggressive way through advertisement than casinos and bookies do. I could easily go through a day on the internet without seeing a advertisement about gambling on websites like YouTube, for example, unless it is a direct sponsorship by a casino to the content creator.
I would say sex industry advertises more aggressively than gambling industry and they have a wider objective public and  may even generate more money than gambling.
Anyways, it also depends on the kinds of websites and communities one spends time on.

Like forums in general, Bitcointalk will also not provide direct access and in some countries, especially in Indonesia,
gambling sites are also blocked and still require a VPN to be able to access gambling sites.

Children who are able to access gambling sites are indeed influenced by their friends who already know about the gambling site,
even if it is an illegal gambling site or just a fraudulent gambling site that appears a lot today.

The media that often becomes a place for gambling advertising is Games, Video streaming, social media which now gambling ads are quite daring to appear publicly.
some also appear as browser notifications and directly send broadcast messages on WhatsApp.

And thats why it is really that too hard to monitor out our kids on what are the things that they've been getting involved into or on what are the things that they've seen online. We do know that on how fast technology evolves and into the things that gives out that accessibility. Yes, we cant be able to deny that when it comes to benefit and usage then it do make the lives of people or humankind is being that comfortable and when it comes to information then it do make everything that fast and accurate. Now just like on what been said that if there's positive then there would be negative on just like one of the problems is about on having those kind of influences that could be seen online and since that most people now having their own mobile phone then the exposure would be that too rampant even into the kids or young ones nowadays.

It seems that it all depends on the country... In some countries, casino ads are strictly regulated, and in some countries there are no rules at all. We can say it's a Wild West.

I think casino ads shouldn't be everywhere and non-stop... it can affect people, especially children who have to listen to it. But it's up to governments to regulate it.

Yes I agree, even here in my country you can casually see a billboard that promotes gambling platform and there are some ads on social media where kids can have access. IMO, society is changing, everything is changing and we need to adapt to these kinds of changes. The only thing we need is to be responsible and teach them, at least at young age they will get the idea of how gambling is very risky and dangerous. When I was a kid, I'm exposed to some relatives that gamble too but they teach me important stuffs about money, when I grew up, I'm not really into gambling, just casual betting on esports, so it means that at young age, I've known that gambling isn't a thing that can be played by any normal person since you'll risk money.

Well, even its regulated you can casually see those licensed gambling platforms in many accessible sights of a person so I think things really change.

Parental supervision is very important, most people are quick to blame the casino companies for running their ads but this is part of Their business and it's something that they must do in order for them to expand but unfortunately this adverts are been viewed by the wrong audience and it leads to unpleasant actions, this is where parents and guardians must come in to protect their kids from unwanted informations

If parents are negligent then children will be exposed to the effects of gambling and I don't see the casinos to blame because it is based on the supervision of each parent. Every business has an obligation to promote and what is available today is advertising through social media and television. The development of technology will make it much more difficult to limit children if parents do not have control and most importantly provide education, so that children can divert their attention to something more productive at their current age.

Just like how advertising affects any other aspect of life. For those who dont give a damn about gambling, they ignore it. For those who are hiding a gambler inside them get stoked. The diligent people teach the others the good and bad of gambling and move on with life.

I dont find doing it anything bad. You are an advertiser, a partner to the casino. If you have religious beliefs that gambling is a sin, then follow that - but this is a complete personal choice.

I dont blame a person for doing something that they dont like to do because they need to make ends meet, as long as they dont hurt anybody. I think you are doing fine and you should stop blaming yourself. You can still stop anytime you wish to.

No matter how hard you try to protect your children from all this, nothing will work. Why? Because you won't be able to control them all the time. It's impossible. They're always on their phones, and there are those same ads in the apps.

Yes, of course, it's absolutely necessary to have a conversation with your children and explain it to them in an accessible language. It's possible that this will give at least some results. Some children are able to analyze information more than others.

Better focus on how do you behave yourself and what you do, because kids mirror what parents do if it is easy to do and it brings joy. If a person gambles 24/7, then he should be ready to explain why he does it and check if kid understand that point, otherwise the kid will gamble 24/7 also. Hiding fact that you gamble or hiding gambling ads isnt necessary, kid will learn that anyway. And like I've said many times, talk to your kid and dedicate time to them. If they understand, trust and respect you, they will never do anything you dont want them to do.

Casinos will do anything to improve their business, they will definitely arrange attractive advertisements in their own way, and if your minor child gets addicted to gambling after seeing those advertisements, it is never the casino's fault, but rather it is due to the ignorance of that child's guardian. You are the only one responsible for watching the good and bad activities of your child, every guardian should give their children the right education so that they do not get addicted to gambling. Casino advertising will always be there, advertising is a necessary medium for every casino to promote, so it is never possible to stop it. But if someone does not want to get addicted to gambling, then they have to avoid it at their own responsibility, and by keeping an eye on your child and raising them responsibly in terms of their activities, so that they understand the harmful effects of gambling and can stay away from gambling at their own responsibility.

According to gamblingcommission.gov.uk approx 85% individuals have encountered gambling ads in various media.

Online gambling is growing very fast. When we only gambled in casinos, gambling was not so popular. Gambling is now easy to access. We can now gamble through mobile. And that is why gambling sites are giving a lot of ads.

First of all, there are a lot of gambling sites. Every site wants new users. So they give ads. This is the most common way to create new users these days. Especially I would say that gambling sites get a lot of new users due to gambling ads on social media, football and cricket matches.

Gambling ads do not affect me. Because I am well aware of these sites. I usually use Stake.Com  (http://stake.com)for gambling. However, many children or young people become interested in gambling after seeing these ads. They do not know much about gambling. This is very risky. Gambling sites should not allow people under 18 to gamble.

All in all, if you feel annoyed then you could use an ad blocker

Only gullible people get moved to gamble when they watch gambling ads, adults are supposed to know when something is being promoted to get the attention of people...we watch commercials on different tv stations everyday where somethings are being advertised and we know very well that they do not work as they are being described, it's a marketing strategy and this is the same system that casinos use.

I may not feel pressured to gamble, but if a child sees gambling ads while watching YouTube or TV, they will definitely be a little curious about gambling. Gambling advertisements are now mandatory on all social media, so we cannot skip gambling advertisements. When a child sees these advertisements, an interest will definitely be created in him and from this interest, a child will be attracted to gambling.

It is rather like what infomercials usually do when comes to them selling their product to the masses, they talk much on the positive characteristics and features of their products and services but they won't ever tell something negative, because in the end of the day it is all about getting people to spend money on something. When it is about gambling the best way to attract people to gamble is to show those rare occasions when people win money through gambling and getting a spotlight on them. That is why lotteries and casinos show people getting money and getting paid after being extremely lucky and getting life changing amounts of money, it becomes very tempting to anyone, even for those who are adults and have a well developed common sense to know what is realistic and what it is not.

In the end, all advertisement have the same purpose and tries to accomplish it though the same manner. It is up to us to analyze what we are being offered and decide if we go for it or not. It is part of having our own personal freedom.

Of course, every parent should be aware that their children do not move towards participating in gambling through advertisements while holding mobile phones. The way young children are currently addicted to mobile phones will show that very young boys and girls can become addicted to gambling through using mobile phones because gambling advertisements are now being given in every media. Gambling advertisements are being given in every social media in such a way that common people including small children can be easily attracted. So if we all become aware, then of course we can keep our children away from mobile addiction and gambling addiction and if we are not aware, then we cannot prevent our children and common people from gambling addiction.

Certainly not. Something about aids though when using the internet, you often get the option to note have to finish watching it. After about 5seconds or 10seconds into the watch, you get the chance to skip. One thing the ads can bring to you though should you be a regular gambler, it presents to you some of the latest promotions or best ways to approach certain markets in gambling.
Though, Many wouldn’t want to see these aids at times and I’m very much in the category, we just have to live with it and use ads blockers when we can.

Do you mean "urged" to gamble? Yes.

I think that's the real purpose of those advertisements. They want to somehow urge the people to gamble but they will still input the "gamble responsibly" motto at the end of every advertisement that they will show.

Still, this could make a gambler itch to try and place some bet especially those who are watching sports during the live games. That always happen to me. It's like those ads are reminding me to place a bet or make me think if I did place a bet for that day or not.

For the kids, you have to make them stay away from such sites and ads make the realize it's not for kids but for adults since the kids must always come across these sites,educate them in on they need to know, because if you refuse to teach them, they will learn it from friends out side since the world is growing fast in technology and we don't know what are kids does or sites they enter with their phones and gadget which might be disastrous.

For the adults also you still have to keep educating and monitoring so that they don't get addicted, always communicate with them for those that are gambling to know where you can be of help to them, so that he situation does not go out if hands  because not all adults that gambles knows what gambling is all about, they see gambling as a way of making money, they don't know it's far from that.

Unfortunately or fortunately, gambling is a part of human culture. Gambling has influenced humanity so much that it will never be able to get rid of gambling. People like to fight uncertainty. People worship chance and are ready to follow the fate of their bet with great excitement. The popularity of gambling is probably rivaled only by trading and investing, lol. Why do sports games tend to have dubious advertising? I know one conspiracy theory that claims that bookmakers are so omnipotent that they determine the outcome of all matches in advance. Of course, this is funny, but from the outside it may seem convincing.

Therefore there is no need to turn on the casinos because they are businesses that are deliberately designed to create growth so that exposure to gambling for children is the responsibility of every parent. Education is important to provide so that children see gambling as a responsible step and they will not get involved in it if they are not old enough. It is the same as us who are involved in gambling and limit more spending on gambling budgets because I am sure technology will continue to develop and in the end the child will also be involved in gambling in their own way.

I want to ask if you have kids, because if a kid sees gambling ad during youtube video he is watching it or jumps out between levels while he is playing games, then he would rush to close it and return to content he was watching. Even if ad is can not be skipped, the kid try to do it anyway, open casino page and close it immediately, to return to game/youtube app with a wish to find out if ads timer has ended and skip button isnt grey.

P.S. I am talking about a child who is a child. A 17yo kid isnt a child anymore, already knows about gambling, tried it and already has built his attitude to it.

You have absolutely correctly noted that in addition to the fact that we must learn self-control, which will keep gambling in the Hobby category for us, but we must also protect our future from uncontrolled gambling for our children. No one wants to have problems with children who spend money on entertainment, including betting and gambling, forgetting about spending on everyday needs. And if such a problem appears, then it is the responsibility of only the parents. Children need to be given time, and at least 15 minutes is enough.

In my opinion, this question can be asked differently.

How ethical is advertising? After all, any advertising is aimed at changing a person's initial preferences, making them make a decision, answering a question they did not ask. Each person has their own needs and preferences, but advertising tries to somehow influence a person's inner world so that they buy a product or service.

If advertising is ethical, then gambling advertising is also ethical. Gambling is a service like any other. Gambling has existed for many millennia, that is, it is an antifragile entity according to Nassim Taleb's classification.

If gambling has existed for so long, then most likely it is associated with some basic human need. And I have no doubt that gambling, as an entity, will outlive those people who are now trying to ban it.

Well, it was just the time that we needed to adapt to the situation and accept the reality that we are all exposed to gambling. We can't stop this because social media is the best tool for advertising. I'm not worried about myself, but I'm concerned about the future of our kids. We could say that if gambling does not strictly implement age limits, many young people will fall into addiction. This is not the situation we want to see in the future, and instead of giving them a bright future, exposure to gambling will change the direction of their lives.

Exactly recently I've been pondering about  this on seeing the rate at which ads obstruct alot of things online and most times kids tend to fall victim of the circumstances and see things they ought not to which can enable them want to visit the sites. I think there should be a minimized way to all of this so the younger ones won't fall victims of addictions at an early stage.

As long they would be on their mobile phone then there's no way that we can be able to stop for them to see up these ads on which we know that these banners could be that existed on different potential places on which they've been searching or surfing on. This is why as a parent then it will be that a very huge challenge for us to have that kind of filtering in terms of the things that they do watch online.
Therefore, as a parent on which instead on keeping following them or restricting them on things then it will be that much more sense that you would be telling or teaching them about gambling and into its possible addiction. So that at the time that they would be able to encounter it then they would be able to remember on what are the things that been said by their parents. Usually they would be able to remember it but of course not all kids will be that obedient and there would be those who would be that curios.

Ads are a problem, but I think accessibility is the bigger problem. It is too easy to get whatever you want. Be that gambling, alcohol, drugs/cigarettes. The problem about the ads is that they often times build trust using public figures that are known for certain traits. This could be professional sports stars or well known people from the industry. But if the access was more limited, which in times of the Internet and no KYC procedures is insufficient to protect children or young people, I think the ads couldn't do as much harm.

What do you expect when you are leaving in a country where laws are made by those why breaks them and there have a way fo paying for every of their crimes, if not, gambling is seen in some places as a bad influence for underage people so why exposing all this casinos ads and so on, in my country we now have public view boards and sign post all advertising gambling sites, most celebrities now promote casinos all over, so it becoming a norms over here no restrictions of any kind.

Ads don't appear everywhere on my devices. It's only when I approach some certain cheap websites that they might want to appear, but I make use of an ad blocker, which doesn't allow them to appear. For my own TV, I only access Netflix, Showmax email, and all this, aside from email, are paid, and they don't show ads. It's only on Facebook most times that those ads pop up without permission, and I haven't seen anywhere to turn it off and disable it.

Gambling ads are everywhere you turn to but they are not the only ads that are everywhere. We have ads of different things too and not just gambling but gambling has been having the most effects because you can see many people picking interest in gambling and that is due to casinos promising people a better life when they win money. It is not the fault of the casino though because all they are doing are just ads and not mandating anyone to become a gambler. The ads though should be less misleading because many of the gambling ads send a wrong message to the viewers. Gambling is not something anyone is supposed to do that they do not yet understand what gambling does to your brain. Gambling and addiction are very close and unless you can be discipline, you would not escape the addiction.

I've fully convinced myself that if any form of media needs ads to be served to me then I'm not watching it and I'll be glad to even pay for honest media that don't want to shove ads on my face.

The era of free news websites is over. Google strangled this market to keep large profits. Big news organizations can't sustain themselves only from ads. That's why big moghouls buy media companies one after the other. Because they want to push their own companies, some of which are gambling.

So I'd say if you want to watch TV, cut the cable, remove the antenna etc. Do it online even if it's through illegal means. Skip the ads by all means. Maybe even pay for a subscription if you want to support certain creators but it's better when you get direct delivery even if it's not all delivered in the exact same way. Respect yourself a little bit and support what you like too.

There is not a single minute left where we do not see an advertisement because we are so digitally immersed. Gambling is a part of daily life, advertisements have become a part of daily life, everything revolves around advertisements. In other words, sports and betting are very complementary things together.

I agree that it is not healthy for children, we just need to raise our children more aware and conscious, give them a good education, and of course, we need to use the right filters for children.

We can filter the ads that comes out in the gadgets of our kids if we want them not to see any of these. But it depends also on which content that the kids are watching nowadays. If they're the contents that are just for kids, I think they're just fine and there is also the YouTube kids that they can use so that each ad is filtered there and probably no gambling ads are going to come out from there. What we have no control is the national tv that we are sure that we've seen some ads popped during tv shows and when they're on the ads but these kids don't know what exactly these gambling ads are.

Ads may not appear on  everywhere you visit online but they particularly not appear only in cheap sites only but almost on every sites nowadays. For you to be able to not seeing those ads you might have paid for the ads to be block for you not to be receiving them. Because I can recall numerous times I have to visit these sites and still get those ads popping up. They only stop showing temporarily when you click on disable ads but next time you access the site they reappear and just always have to repeat same process. And  It so annoying.

Algorithm play huge role on why gambling ads will came out on your feeds so better don't search anything related on gambling so that you won't see any gambling ads on your devices.

But for me everything is fine even if I see those ads since somehow I know that I will not get affected anything I see since I'm experience gambler.

What I don't want to happen for now is my young child will see those ads since there might some instances that they might get fooled on false promises introduce by some exaggerating influencers which tells a lie just to get referrals online.

Agree Bro. Gambling has become a part of human culture. This gambling has been going on for thousands of years. However, the type of gambling has changed with the times. As the days pass, we are seeing more and more new types of gambling.

For example, a few years ago we were dependent on casinos for gambling. We used to participate in gambling physically. But now due to online gambling, we do not need to go to casinos. We can gamble on our computer or mobile. This has made the way of gambling easier.

Basically, gambling is spreading very fast because of online gambling. We even see a lot of gambling ads. We see gambling ads on social media or in various games. Also, nowadays players are also participating in gambling ads.

Yeah, and we can’t stop it; even the government won’t stop it as they are getting a high percentage of tax from gambling operators. So, proper guidance to the next generations is one of the keys if we don’t want them to get addicted. Because, whether we like it or not, gambling ads will become more visible soon, both online and physical. We, as their elders or parents, being more experienced, need to guide them, because we already know how gambling works, and that’s what we need to put in their minds as early as we can.

I am still of the opinion that ads that only last but for a few seconds has little to no negative effect on our kids more than what we allow them watch on their gadget, and my number one question also have always been why the hell do we parents even allow our kids gain access to gadget in the first place? And not only did we allow them access to this gadget, we also allow them access to the gadget with internet connection, why the hell are we then complaining about the effect gambling ads has on them?

In my place, there is this common saying that "it is he who the river sees that it swallows", what does this mean?, it simply means that if we don't allow our kids access to this gadgets, and also stop them from watching programs that are not meant for kids, then we will not be discussing about the effect gambling ad has on them kids.

When it works that way, with such public disregard on the damage which could be done to children and teens who may be introduced to gambling way earlier than they are supposed to, then the first thing one is supposed to assume is there is some government corruption and involvement so those fiat national casinos can get away with the money of an entire generation, without checks and balances to keep kids and teens out such ecosystem.
I have no proof but, no doubt either. There must be some powerful politicians getting exceptionally bribed so they can keep a blind eye on what is going on in your society. Something like that would not happen so blatantly on strong democracies, where people care more to protect the infancy of children.

Here there is something similar going on, but it is not as blatant as what you describe in your country.

Gambling has now reached a stage where people have started seeing gambling as completely normal, it is never possible to stop gambling, even its advertisements will never stop any time. But if we want to save the next generation from the harmful effects of gambling, this is possible only through proper education. Teenagers need to be told the right thing, they need to be educated through proper education so that they can make the right decisions. Gambling addiction is continuously affecting children a lot, so it can only be deactivated through proper education and the right social system.

My observation is that some of these youths misunderstand gambling. They see gambling as a source of revenue therefore investing more time and resources. When we see youths spending most of their productive time in physical casinos and using most of the money they raise from work for gambling,  we should all know that there is a problem.

Gambling wouldn't be a problem if people gamble responsibly or simply see it as a form of entertainment.  Gambling ads will not be totally banned, but they could be restricted to mature gamblers and should always contain warnings about gambling addiction.

If it shows only for few seconds and won't be repeated, I'm reckoning your opinion with that and they're probably no impact to the kids. But I don't think that most ads are only going to pop once to the ads or banners when these kids uses their gadgets. Because typically, they'll be shown for several times per day or even a week and sometimes months too. But these kids shouldn't really use these gadgets but if the parents has no choice, they should be regulated.

I agree on this but these ads are in every place and we're not holier than thou that we won't allow kids to even watch in TV or play with some gadgets. Parenting now has evolved and different in the past. But if there are parents that don't give their kids screen time, kudos to them.

For some cases this is true where gambling for now is like being used as a normalization or rather a hype that is always in demand, especially with the many types of games in gambling, making us always spoiled with the bets we make.

So in the end it is quite natural that there will be a lot of gambling advertisements or even in other forms such as watermarks in a video on social media that function as a means for several sites to enlarge their relationship to be recognized.
This is why it will be very natural if it is very difficult to get rid of this and try as hard as possible, but still with a very large interest from the players, it is certain that all forms of gambling today, including their promotion with advertisements or several other things, will not be separated from our daily lives, especially for those of us who are always on social media or some special platforms that will indeed be very easy to use as a promotional arena for gambling.

We can't protect kids from looking at ads in town on the way to school or tutor. It won't be practical to rely on filters because they aren't 100% reliable in most sites. Ad blockers break sites so they aren't the best way. You'll have to sign in for youtube & others for kids but how many ppl do it ?

Advertising will play and alcohol also warns that it is harmful to your health, but this does not stop millions of people from doing it every day, and this also applies to teenagers who have not yet reached adulthood. Therefore, in gambling advertising, it is worth mentioning that minors are prohibited from playing, in fact, every casino asks this during registration, but it all depends on the player, and if he wants to play, he will find a way to do it. And it is impossible to remove casino advertising because this is their way of promotion.

I don't know how many but some probably are when they are valuing the protection of their kids from the adult contents and the other contents that are inappropriate for the kids. The penny that they pay for the subscription monthly is worth it for them and that's why it's a way to protect their kids from such contents. While we can't protect them when they're away from us and when they're going to somewhere else, it's best not to allow them with gadgets outside the house to monitor the activities that they're doing on that gadget.

People can not gamble responsibly because they get easily influenced by what they see online and the gambling ads are making people to think that gambling can make them rich. Gambling is no way to make money and untill people are ready to realized that they are wasting their time trying to make money from gambling, they need to get twh information that gambling should be a way of them entertaining their desires. Gambling is no job that guarantees you monthly income. Anybody making good amount of money from gambling is lucky and not like they know any secrets that others do not know. Gambling ads should not be taken seriously, they are very misleading and if we pay too much attention to them, they are going to turn us into addicted gamblers.

Casino advertising in Telegram channels has become very intrusive. It is broadcast daily in almost all of them several times. It has even become annoying. I did not notice this before, but today it has become a disaster. Isn't it time to slow down a little? A rhetorical question. Now imagine how many children see it. It's some kind of horror. I think something needs to be done about it. If not eliminate it completely, then at least limit it to a minimum.

The problem is youths nowadays aren't interested in physical/hard labor, they are much interested in fast money with less work. Hence, they see gambling as the easiest and fastest way to make money without considering it's consequences. They probably forget the saying that you can not cheat nature and there's no shortcut to success.


What more warnings do we expect from gambling industries?
We have warnings like;
Only for 18+
Gamble responsibly
Addiction kills
And lots more...

It's our youths that are basically the problem and not the ads. The entertainment is not longer there as it's now seen as a source of income.

Even streaming industry has been occupied by gambling. It became a trend now that streamers are being paid to promote and stream a gambling site while they are playing. There's even a rumor that some of them use a demo account which shows them raking a huge amount of winnings. This is not only dangerous to kids but also adults to be tempted to try their luck on that particular platform.

As for me, I don't get attracted to those ads and streamers playing, I only gamble whenever I want and have extra money. Good thing my relatives are not fond of gambling so they don't really become addicted to the increase of gambling ads everywhere.

Then ask your self, is telegram meant for children? What are you even talking about? What is a child or should a child be looking for on telegram? Even telegram does not allow the age of below 18 years old to sign up on the platform, why should we be complaining of what gambling or casino ads on telegram will do to children when the platform was never meant for children in the first place?

As a parent, it is our complete responsibility to ensure our children are not crossing their boundaries when ever they have a smart phone or any gadget with an internet connection in their possession..

If we are complaining about casino ads on telegram obstructing our activities on the app (which I highly doubt) then it's completely different, but complaining about what casino ads is or will do to children on the app is completely unreasonable because you and I shouldnt allow our child access to telegram in the first place.

Casinos are into business and they must advertise their company for popularity in order for them to have more customers. Due to youth exorbitant, they want to they involve themselves in gambling without knowing the consequences. I don't think that the casinos are targeting underage but these underage are the ones that wants to be faster than their shadows in making money. They see the casino as a short cut to riches.

I think the reason why some casino even make KYC compulsory is because they know that some underage will register on the casino but during KYC process, they can not do it because they will be detected. Like you said, you are right, the casino will always do their ads and marketing in every platform that they know they will get potential customers and not really because they are targeting minors. Many new casinos are coming into the market every time and the competition is getting tighter.

Recently, after spending the whole weekend playing slots, I started receiving a lot of casino-related ads on social media. But, due to the strong monotony among these ads, I don’t pay attention to them.
The thing is that our brain easily discards monotonous things and all online casino slots advertising is incredibly similar to each other. It is always some golden letters and very bright colors and such advertising. It does not attract attention, even seeing it out of the corner of your eye you miss it, so it has no effect.

The way we cant only prevent the children from having encounter with gambling ads, same applies to other forms of ads because they are appearing on all social media apps and even in physical, so we cant completely avoid coming across ads in general, but we can decide not to watch or click them, because we have access to our freedom in making decisions, we can also see from the way they have been promoted by some prominent citizens in the society, which is a source of income to some as they advertised on it on any platform.

That is the orientation of those aftermath drug influence, gamblers, there are already addicts so the tend to over influences every move, not considering the risks that comes along with such decisions, so I don't blame them to believe that gambling can be taken as a mean of income for whatever reasons.

But then results will always humble them at every point in time since the realities from those games will definitely becomes the bases for whatever.

When was the last time you saw kid showing interest to gambling and gambling? Kids will be interested in gambling, not after seeing gambling ads in the internet of offline, but if streamer or blogger they watch all the time start advertising it. I am not sure if ads even work on kids, except if it is a toy shown. Imho from gambling ads kid only learn annoying jingle. I dont see gambling ads as a big danger for kids. Its a problem for adults only, because they earn money and can repeat gambling process again and again.

original, like in my country where gambling is actually prohibited because it is against religion but for now many people do it without hesitation and are not afraid even though they do it in open places. Also with its rampant advertisements, there are even people who market or post it using their own social media accounts, I mean aren't they afraid of being caught by the authorities. Currently, most teenagers already know about gambling and most of them do it, it is unlikely that there are teenagers who don't know and don't do it at all.

Undoubtedly, adults are the only ones who have the right to be addicted in a casino , a minor does not, because they should not have access to a casino, adults who are Carried away by Advertisements and false and misleading publicity must have a high level of financial education and sometimes not so much that but be less naive, because otherwise they will lose amounts of money, that is what must be avoided.

Teenagers should be reminded that gambling does not lead to permanent winnings. In addition, children's brains are very easily influenced. Thus, gambling addiction develops incredibly quickly. I would not ignore this and would conduct a conversation about it quite often. It will never be superfluous. It's very sad that no one warned me about this at the time. So the situation turned out to be really bad. I lost quite a lot of money. Only later did I understand that I shouldn't do this, but then it was too late.

There's adult content so protecting kids from gambling isn't the only problem. Parent can't let their kids use the net with out restrictions because of harmful content. Gambling's a big problem ppl don't want their kids to learn about it but there isn't a way to monitor the ads they see.

I think times are really different now, it's not just adults who are addicted to gambling now but even teenagers are learning to be addicted to gambling, probably because of the technology we have now.

Especially since I see a lot of online promotions that often have gambling ads that can be watched promoted by artists and influencers in whihc is really bad at all.

This is really annoying. From social media, TV channels to various online games or various small and big screen movies, there is no place left to advertise gambling. The most annoying thing for me is that while using some applications, gambling ads are played repeatedly or while watching videos on social media, the ads are played repeatedly. Currently, there is no option to skip the ads. I think this is a way to annoy people and force them into gambling rather than advertising. It is harming the youth and minor children the most. Its impact on them is currently present.

I grew up watching a lot of advertisements on local channels because I knew that was where they made money. It's like 10 commercials for what is supposed to be a 30-minute show. But it will end up in 1 hour because of the ads.

That is the time that I learned that advertisements and commercials are not true. They are paying the right amount on the local television channel, which is why they are always on television, but the truth is not everything they say is true. The same goes with all these new types of advertisements in local tv, they just want more gamblers to play using their business, but it doesn't assure that it is a legitimate one.

It is about accepting how the promotion of the gambling industry spreads. They are just maximizing the situation and using social media as a tool for their massive growth and market strategy.

Gambling is a huge business; if you run a business, you will understand what they are doing. Perhaps many people don't like it, but yes, this is a very effective strategy. It is our choice whether we gamble or not. And we can ignore those ads if we want.

This is not actually a problem, but maybe those who are about to see it think badly.

If ppl can't get away from gambling ads when they're playing games using social media or watching movies they can't protect kids from learning about gambling. When they're online they'll find gambling ads.

But online ads are easily avoided by ad blockers. I am amazed how few people who use the internet know even the basics. Ad blocker does not require any knowledge, costs nothing and brings many benefits. At least from these ads it is easy to get away. For other ads it really depends on the country laws. I know that in some countries you will encounter almost no ads of this kind, maybe some limited amounts in sports events but that is it. It is possible to get away from them depending on where you live, but I think on TV is the hardest to avoid if the law allows it.

Ad blockers is the key. Unfortunately, not all are using it, and not all platforms have ad blockers because they need those ad revenue to make money. :D

Ever since online gambling exploded, I haven't had a single day where I didn't see any gambling advertisements online. and it just came to a point where I just completely live with it, but I'm not curious to try it anyway. I see the same kind of ads every single day, and it hasn't attract me at all nor try and gamble on those websites. As for ad skipping, most of them have, but there are some which will require you to watch the whole video and that's around 15-30 seconds, what I'm doing in those time is stay away from my phone and maybe get some water or do something for those 15-30 seconds.

The impact on minors and children are huge, and in a few years time, we will be seeing more and more younger people that are into gambling. Unfortunately, there's nothing that we can do about it. Parents should be responsible enough for their kids not to engage into gambling at all.

Most of the ortanization in the world use traffic to promote their products a large part of which is through television. Through advertising an idea is created about that product to the general public or they can know the name of that product and are encouraged to use the product later. The performance of a part of those advertised products may not be good, but it may not be fair to blame most of the products for that.

Most of the advertisements that lure people to gamble that we see on online platforms are clever and lure ordinary gamblers like fools. In the greed of getting extra money new gamblers lose money without checking those advertisements.

I have noticed one trend. A lot of prohibitions are under the religious component. This is forbidden, that is forbidden. It is easy to hide behind this method. But in reality, there is no trace of this. It is all somehow sad. It is high time for humanity to do something about this. Things will not work like this. I can understand when there is a legal law, but under the aegis of religion. This is already some kind of blasphemy. Naturally, people understand everything. The absurdity of the decisions being made.

It differs based on countries and location, you don't see bets or casino ads on the street in my country, I think the government doesn't allow it much, there are only selected few locations with such ads, gambling is easier to control if you are not a harsh parent to your kids, unlike old parents that want to force things on their kids which makes the kids to start hiding things from them, learn from this.

When you hand over a smartphone to your kid it's possible that they will engage in gambling because they want to make money on their own, make sure they are older enough to handle smartphones, this days it's a part of why the youths are behaving abnormally, they are exposed to things that they higher than their ages.

Ad blockers will only stop you from seeing gambling ads online but not your kids, they are smart enough to deactivate and reactivate later, teach them right and try not to hide necessary things from them, they will always figure it out.

Gambling is very harmful for every child, it takes their future life to a bad level. Most of the people who gamble fail to control it, very few people can control it. Yes, gambling should be controlled for the future generation and for children, otherwise they can become addicted to it. Although every parent wants to keep their child away from this gambling, but at present it is rarely possible because gambling advertisements are found everywhere. We can see that these gambling advertisements are being removed from social media, TV channels, and in every part of sports from where children are attracted to it. Children take a lot of efforts to earn money from these advertisements, where most of the time they lose money and they become emotional and become addicted.

Speaking of ads, yes I found some ads on Youtube, on social media, games from Google Play. It seems that game makers do not filter ads for certain categories. Of course this condition is very dangerous. Children who are not old enough will be contaminated with gambling which makes them might not focus on learning. So the best thing is parental control, although my country's government has restricted it by providing filters on certain IPs it seems that it is not effective.

Another thing is the assistance of internet access for children who are not old enough. As for adults, they will only be bored and annoyed for those who are not interested in gambling. But maybe we can report the ads to the service provider, although it might not remove all of them. The web owners only think about money and not the future development of young people.

IMO

Of course, they might not target this kids in their ads, but with the prevalent of Internet right now, you really don't know that it can reach to different ages and different country. I have a youtube channel that even go as far as places that I don't know how it get there, so what's more with this ads?

And so I guess each and everyone of us here as parents have the responsibility to really take care of everything and make sure that our children will not be exposed to gambling ads even though we are gamblers ourselves.

It was really disturbing for me because around of me most of the people not a fan of gambling and as well there is children to oldest people when I am scrolling my Facebook feed or watching videos these were arrived, then I got it to a awkward situation.

I have done multiple time reporting them so that they would not going to come again maybe I will see another kind of ADS but nothing happened. Moreover, currently the number of Casino has increased so much that every time a promotion video of each casino comes in front of us. Which is really scary for our children to see.

Did you say only adults have the right to get addicted to a casino? Do you mean that only adults are allowed to gamble? Those are basically different things, or what you said doesn't specifically mean what it should mean because no one has any right to get addicted to anything because addiction is a bad thing, and you can't have right to do bad things. You are right that only adults should be allowed to get into a casino and gamble, and they should be sensible enough to understand that they shouldn't get addicted because it can be financially wrong for them.

When we talk about gambling advertisements or promotions, they do it for adults, of course, and they don't intend to attract minors or children through them, but the mediums that they use for these advertisements might not protect children or minors from seeing those ads, which could create problems sometimes, but I guess we can't blame the casinos because at the end of the day, they are running a business, and they won't leave any opportunity to promote their business.

It is the advertisers who should be blamed for allowing casino and gambling advertisements in places where minors can see them.

The advertisements affect all of us adults but also the young kids who play do it because they are encouraged to play also by the advertisements during the matches, and on the players' shirts, everywhere there is advertising for betting sites, and the kids are easily influenced, but the companies don't care about this, as long as there is money.

A lot of efforts are made to prevent kids from getting closer to gambling and knowing about gambling but I think the best thing to do right now is to sensitize the society which has already been eaten deeply through gambling. Adults who are going hard and crazy everyday should be controlled before going after tv channels and social media channels that users ad to promote gambling. Again most of the children get more knowledge from their friends and family members who are real gambling addicts they need to also be protected from such persons if they must stay away from gambling.

I would actually love to see this idea in reality but that may not be possible because everybody has the right to advertise there gambling platform and besides if the country is a gambling friendly they can actually do it the way they like by talking about it in media but since all the parents is aware of the country being acceptable in gambling they should give themselves a duty of a parental restriction of there children in gambling because if they only want a law to be enforced by government to guide the teenagers from gambling they might be relinquishing there duty to there children.

It's still going to be on the side of the parents/guardians to take care of their love ones, like what you said, if the country is free for types of business, there's no way that it can avoid to see ads about gambling to the point that it can direct viewers and followers to follow them in their journey towards gambling, there's no stopping as those kinds of business are bringing generated income for the government in terms of taxations especially those undergrounds transactions.

Even though we say that it was allowed in the country, the government still has control over it. The responsibility is not just for the parents but also on how the government sets rules in regard to advertising materials. And also, the schools will educate students about gambling, just for them to clarify things. Because some gamblers found gambling due to their curiosity, and this is likely to happen in kids.

But if the country is governed by corrupt officials, there is nothing to expect. Casinos will continue to feed them and be free to do what they want to do.

Despite the growing numbers, in the end the choice boils down to the person watching.
One thing that's as popular as unprotected sex is the cost of gambling
What it can lead to if not properly managed.


There are things that felt age restricted then but are now easily accessible by medias.
What you said is true though, even watching a simple highlight could have a gambling ads
And some of the videos they are found in ain't sport related but centered on a specific set of people.

Parenting is crucial but not all the time we would be able to monitor on what our kids been that seeing or what they've been that dealing into. We are living in a digital world on which exposure and possible things that your kids will be able to see isnt something that we can always monitor or see them out on which its important rather that you would be educating them about gambling and on the possible effects that it could give on a certain individual. We do know that we cant be able to check out from time to time and this is why it will be that relevant or much more needed that you would be trying out to tell them about it so that at the time that they will be able to encounter it out then they are already that wary on what they should gonna do into this aspect. We do know that on the moment or time that you are busy into your work and handling up your kids from time to time cant be possible specially if you do have a work or job. So it will be that relevant on doing such act just for the sake of guiding up your kids on the right path. We cant be perfect parents as we do all know that there are lots of things that could influence out our kids along the way and thats why proper guidance and teaching them everything as long it would be leading up for them to the right way and good living and all the behaviors and traits. It is that our responsibility for us parents to guide them on the right way.Although we dont know on what would happen ahead but at least we have done something for the benefit of our kids.

It's important for parents to guide and direct their children against social vices like gambling. This is why you need to be open minded to your children and know the kind of friends that they keep. If your lad has started gambling, there are some questions that he would ask you on gambling. You have to tell them the truth and sensitize them so that they don't get misled by friends and influencers on social media. The government is only after collecting tax.

I think this type of advertising is aimed at a specific audience, namely beginners in gambling. Gold letters should be associated with wealth, and bright colors should attract attention. That is why many advertising banners are very similar. I also try not to pay attention to any advertising I encounter on the Internet, on TV, or on billboards. When I need to buy something or use certain services, I independently study the area that interests me and make my choice based not on advertising but on reputation and real reviews of the product or service.

The only place parents wouldn't have to think about their children in regards to gambling is when the country they based is the type that is against gambling so that there isn't how any child will thought of it or even leant about the existence because there will not be anybody to mention or even the gambling platform accepting the person and in social media they might not see anything related to gambling since all their friends will be only those that based on the same side they are, so with this the parents worries will be on other things but definitely will not be in betting.

It is now so much a part of our lives that in some cases we do not pay attention to it. In my opinion it is flaunted too much without thinking about the negative effects it can have on weak minds.
In my opinion, as with cigarettes, we should say that gambling is addictive, then everyone does what they want.
For example, i smoke and i am aware of the risks i run.

That's why we as parents should educate our children about online gambling, now it's up to them whether they will apply what we have taught them about gambling.

because we can't monitor them when they are outside our home. so all we can do is remind our children. especially since they often use social media platforms

The advertisements for gambling have a negative impact on young guys in the society and his interest in gambling develops in his brain in such a way that he will continue to bet on the opportunity and he inspires his close friends to gamble. They do not understand what is very sensitive and how much money he will lose because he is a new gambler and the motivation to win becomes more enlightened to him than losing money or losses.

Due to adult gamblers, young guys become more aggressive and may become addicted to the activities they conduct their minds. Correcting the signs of addiction when they are visible in guys or before it is too late and taking a break for a long time can reduce the amount of financial losses. Until complete financial preparation is made.

It shouldn't be concerning if they are not addicts, some people gamble to get lucky and they are able to do it moderately. Whenever they win they accept their wins happily and whenever they are losing they just walk out instead of going all in. If your sister and her husband are gambling like this then there's nothing to worry about. The only problem might be when they are addicted gamblers, if this concerns you have a friendly chat with her

We watch many gambling ads every day so we're forgetting we're looking at them. It doesn't matter if we try it's difficult to avoid watching because they're on screens every day. Some ppl with weak minds won't understand the negative effects so they don't know it's addictive.

As parents, we cannot monitor our children's every activity throughout the day. We may not even know what our children are doing at home with their mobile phones. The ease of access to social media today not only brings convenience but also has the potential for harm, depending on how it is used.

Early education can be one of the best options, providing information about the negative effects of gambling in the short and long term, the potential risks that will be faced in the future when deciding to gamble, so that when one is caught up in the urge to gamble, one is prepared to calculate the losses that will be faced.

You can't control children at all times, that is true. But if you are giving mobile phones to children in an uncontrollable way, then you are a bad parent. You should be aware of what is going on and limit any non educational access to the internet until they reach the proper age. Because of that, you can prevent them from seeing gambling ads online.

How often has this worked? Don't most teenagers try some of the things that they are told are dangerous and that they should stay away from them?

Yes but like the cigarette and tobacco commercials i mentioned before, the important thing is to be aware and mature.
Sometimes it takes very little to understand things if we use rationality and not emotion. If we have money to do something we do it otherwise we don't. Thinking that with betting you earn is one of the beliefs that are harmful

It's on the parent's responsibility to check their kids once in a while. And for the contents that are being viewing or shown to the gadgets, that's when they should also be protective to their kids. I believe there are surveys that pop for the content viewers to say if they're going to continue looking at those contents and if they're not valuable at all, they are free to say and decline all of the questions asked on those forms. That's one good thing with these platforms, they are asking for what's to be shown to the viewers if they have an algorithm.

But that implies more things, first of all what influences the most is the type of personality of each person, I do see it as bad when I am on an app as I had said before, but if I see it on other platforms, like on other social networks, I don't mind it, of course it's my perception, that's why I also agree that what you say is true, for some it's bad for others it's not, it depends on how they perceive it.

That's what I always say, and what I always think.
These gambling website owners can spend their money on advertisements on various platforms, and in the end, it's our decision whether we gamble or not. It's our decision if we want to spend our hard-earned money in gambling. It's our decision if we want to test our luck and gamble our money.

They're everywhere indeed. If you're watching reels on Facebook, you can see gambling advertisement below. I haven't observed it on YouTube, but on different platforms like on X and on Reddit, there are some ads there popping out every time I use them. It's sad that these social media platforms are being used as a tool for the people to be more close to gambling, but that's  how the society is right now, and the only thing that we can do is to think better, and think of our future.

Actually a default thing for parents to do on which they should be having that checks with their kids or simply that part of parenting on which its normal that you would be doing it. Somehow not all the time we do able to monitor our kids because we do know that on digital era on which they can easily pass through and sees off things that would be that out of radar. This is why we cant be able to be perfect when it comes into this manner and this is why we cant be able to blame out everything into those parents on whatever the things that do happen into their kids.

It doesnt always reflect out on how parents do handle out their kids because at the time that our kids are on their own mind then they cant be able to follow up their parents sayings and reminders.
Plus that majority of us now do have their own mobile phone on which means that there's soo much influences that could affect out on a certain person specially into those young minds that
they would be that easily be that getting influence and on the time that it isnt that monitored out well then it will be that hard to control later on.

How heavy the responsibility of being a parent in the digital era today. They are required to maintain the old parenting patterns that have been proven to shape character, while at the same time having to learn to adopt new ways to discipline and accompany their children. Of course this is not easy, especially if the educational background and experience of parents are far different from the world their children are now facing.
In the past, parents simply turned off the television and gave simple orders such as, "Go to your room, it's time to rest" and the situation could be controlled. But now, children can even go to their rooms faster, but not to rest but rather busy with their respective cellphones.
I think being a parent today must be an all rounder, because they face many challenges in raising their children. Fortunately, several countries are starting to realize the importance of regulations on the use of cellphones and social media by children. Such policies greatly help ease the role of parents in supervising and protecting children from the negative influences of the internet including gambling.

In addition to gambling advertising, there are also many advertisements for alcohol and cigarettes, and by the way, this advertising is allowed on television, so there is no point in saying that one of them is better or worse, they can all have the same effect, and a person will decide for himself how much he needs it. Nowadays, there is so much advertising that it seems to me that we have learned to cut off some of it, because it is simply impossible to perceive the entire flow of information that passes through us every day.

all addictions are bad, but I say that gambling at high and high levels is very harmful, it can lead to a very bad ending, in fact it almost always leads to a bad ending, the fact that there are more and more problems of addictions among young people, but at this point I don't think it's just a problem of advertising

Gambling service advertisers usually use "game" as a keyword to make it easier for their ads to be accepted on social media platforms. This is one of the reasons why ads on social media such as X, Facebook and Instagram are very easy to find gambling ads. and then, most of them also use digital marketing services from outside the country that accept gambling ads, but targeted viewers from the target country. That is why, even though there are restrictions in our country, gambling ads can be seen on our account. This is just my own observation, without a complete analysis, but I have often found this pattern when trying to "block" ads from my social media account, considering that the gambling provider's ads have a high potential for less trustworthy legality, and avoiding phishing.

It's very true, where I live these types of people are called: "Fool catchers" and they are people who are normally novices, they have no knowledge and apart from that they have no experience with casinos or anything like that, they just go with the flow of what they see, it's obvious that in the world there are still people like that who unfortunately have bad experiences.

Social media companies should be careful they shouldn't show gamble ads if they're linked to phishing site's. Some times you feel they aren't doing their job to protect ppl who don't want to see gambling ads if they're using their social media account.

Actually they never think about reality, they only think about others winning, and consider themselves as lucky as them. They want to easily own huge money, they dream of becoming rich overnight by gambling, but when they face reality, they face huge losses, they always face only losses in this way, gambling uncontrollably without awareness and realistic thinking, gambling will only cause huge losses, so definitely try to understand the right thing while you have time, gambling may seem much easier, but the reality is much more terrible.

I can confirm that gambling ads are more than ever. Seeing gambling ads on sports telecast was normal but now gambling ads are all over social media. The funny part is there are so many of those gambling websites, many of them proxies of popular ones while other shady ones are all advertising all over Facebook and Youtube. The top level gambling website are hiring local models and celebrity to promote the gambling site in local language while some are using weird ai translate to get attention. The reason for such ads in social media is due to real conversion and money involved. The digitalization of gambling and transactions have enabled more people to easily get into gambling.

Isnt gambling so popular that everyone already know about everything, and if there is someone who isnt aware of gambling or have very little experience in it, that person 100% has a friend or someone who can help him with gambling? Bad thing that people are afraid to ask for help or accept help (or they are lazy). Good thing is that there are many who can help and minimize effect of fool catchers. So much information is in free access today, that it makes hard to find, catch and trick a novice in gambling.

Yeah, there are people who believes in such kind of advertisement making them believe that they can easily make money by following what the ads provides them, unknowingly that they are being drive to lose their money, those people who don't have any knowledge and experienced are being victimized becuase of those ads they they've seen onlne, they quickly believe that they can do the same.

Yes but gambling is infamous, it leaves no marks on your body, so it becomes very difficult to understand that you have an addiction by looking at your body.
Maybe other people see you and say you're normal when the problem is in your head
And the problems in the head are the most infamous and difficult to remove.

Of course, casino companies will advertise so that they can be seen by many people and of course they will be made as attractive as possible because the goal is to make more people interested in gambling at their casinos. For those who want to win, of course, they are an easy target for casinos because by displaying attractive advertisements, it is likely that gamblers who can be said to be addicted will try to gamble at their casinos after seeing the advertisements that are marketed.

For now, even though gambling is prohibited in my country, now gambling is like something that is legally done freely because now many do it openly without fear of something that could harm themselves. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that gambling advertisements are part of everyday life.

Good point, the casinos are not supposed to be blamed for advertising their business...what we watch on tv can be controlled so if you are not comfortable with these ads there's a way to restrict yourself from gaining access to it...like you said it's left for you to get addicted or not, it's left for you to put yourself under control..a gambler without self control wouldn't be able to watch ads without gambling

Exactly, is quite sating that gambling is a personal decision so since they are not forcing anyone into gambling. It is your responsibility to stay clear from anything casinos advertisement, since you can't stop them from doing their own business. Because as far as I know gambling itself is a business so there is no cause for blamed after all, it is left for you to chose what is suitable for you because everything about gambling is a personal choice.

The influence is widely open since internet help the business a lot, like how it works nowaday all you have to do is open your browser then go to some social media site then you'll see advertisement are being showed and if you are aiming to try some luck you can easily access the website, more on how a person/gambler will control it's own emotions as it really easy and quick to do it online mostly a part of your life if you are always online.

Does anyone of you find constantly seeing gambling ads as something negative? There are so many of them around, that Ive got so used to them, that I dont even notice them anymore. I have gambled so much, that rarely find alluring gambling ads. Its so hard to force me to try a new casino, I have 3-4 casinos in rotation that I love to gamble, that other casinos dont attract me at all.

Tens years ago, there were smoking ads everywhere. Like people were smoking and fighting with it in past, the same they continue now. And nobody gives a damn about smokers. Nobody even fight with underaged smokers. No one is scared from lung cancer. Same fate gambling will have.

I totally agree, today's ways of marketing is aggressive and I also blame the digital world as people are more present online than out there in the world... and what this means is it's easier to reach people through social media influencers, paid ads etcetera and unfortunately kids: the audience that is not supposed to be seeing this stuff do get to know of gambling too, which is unfair for them... Let kids be kids.


Fact check, when It comes to successful businesses built around crypto...trust me it's either gambling, trading or m*xers, nothing beats this combination!!!

Yes, and that is why When we see that there are Newbies in the game or that want to get Started , the first thing I tell them is to take care of their Money , to Only spend what they are willing to Spend and if they do, do not bet more at least for the day , because the things that will save them so much Disappointment, losing money and S0aving themselves Problems are many.

Gambling ads have now become a very annoying factor. If you run a gambling campaign in a specific place, it is not a problem. But where people around the world spend the most time, such as social media and the most common place in this social media is Facebook and YouTube, after entering these platforms, gambling advertisements appear within a few minutes, which has become a very annoying factor in our daily lives. In addition, children are slowly trying to progress here. Gambling companies advertise in such a way that gambling is a very easy way to earn money, and whoever enters here will become rich in a very short time. Which is attracting a lot of emotional people. And social media is becoming a big annoyance for conscious people.

Gaming challenges is not limited to new players, the control of retrieving strategical information while on a losing streak isn't simple and is always beyond reach for most gamers. And if a threat of losing persists the responsible knowledge of a player begin to diminish. However, it doesn't mean we should stop reminding them of the crazy repercussions of not paying close attention to details. Because that's the only way they could get saved and fix their problematic aspect of gambling.

In the way I see it, it is inevitable for newbies to lose money at the beginning of their gambling journey, to be honest, even if they believe to be well informed and believe to know how the mechanics of gambling are supposed to favour the casino in the long term. Newbies are highly influenced by greed and by the aspirations of becoming rich, as they usually see on gambling/lottery advertising, they are unfortunately biased by influencers as well, who promise tricks and tips for their followers to "profit" from gambling.

It is very difficult to try to teach someone who does not want to be taught or does not believe to be in need of further knowledge, so when I see a stubborn newbie who believe to be able to defeat the system of casinos, I allow them to learn those valuable lessons by themselves, by using their own money.

Hence, proper reminders are all we can do for our children, because we can't guide them 24/7, just simple explanations that we know they can really understand, especially in this day and age when everyone has a cellphone.

Here in our country, online casinos are rampant, where even in the playstore apps, children can find downloadable casino apps, so proper reminders and education about gambling are all we can do.

Casino sites will definitely try to run their advertisements where people spend the most time for their promotions. However, social media is responsible for showing more gambling advertisements to their users. In this case, casino sites cannot be blamed because it is their business so it is natural for them to do this. Gambling increases the financial risk of people so social media should be more restricted for their promotions so that gambling ads do not go in front of minors and that ads do not go in front of people who are not interested in gambling in the first place. It's natural to be annoyed by the amount of gambling advertisements currently available on social media.

Yes, you are right, those kinds of advertisements can affect children badly, and it is inappropriate to convince those who are not willing or are very immature for this industry. If you are not interested in a gambling signature, you can simply leave it. However, before you make that decision, I can tell you that in this forum, about 99% of the members are older than 18 years, and they know what is bad and what is not. You are not convincing them to gamble, and also, people are coming here whether for cryptocurrency or for gambling, so I think your signature won't harm them. But if you are still confused, then I would suggest making yourself available for other campaigns.

If there's been studies which explain how much gambling & gambling ads affects kids it's going to show how dangerous gambling is. Some kids won't wait until they're adults they'll gamble when they're kids. When kids become adults they'll try gambling because they've seen ads when they were kids.

Almost all gamblers gambled when they were kids even though, they didn't use a casino. Therefore, I don't see casino ads as a way to lure kids into gambling or give them the awareness of gambling because some parents/guardians do gamble in the presence of their kids. Anybody that doesn't like to gamble, wouldn't gamble if he finds himself in a casino. I have a friend that only watches us when we are gambling and lend us funds to continue gambling when I was still in high school.

Basically, social networks are closed for advertising, so casinos have to look for some other resources for their advertising. Casinos can create their own accounts, for example, on Twitter I often see casino activity, where they conduct their promos or try to somehow advertise themselves, or hire bloggers with a large community for this. I often see advertising for different casinos, on different platforms I see many casinos that are not on the forum, so casino advertising is something familiar to me.

There is also a lot of other "harmful" advertising around, if not in social networks, then in offline stores, harmful food, alcohol, various cosmetic procedures with questionable benefits, looking at all these casino advertisements, it is not the worst option. If a person is whole inside, he is unlikely to succumb to strong influence from the outside. But still, advertising for minors really needs to be strictly controlled and filtered, teenagers are not yet physically capable of critically evaluating information.

Yup, the bigger influence came from those adults that's surround those young kids while seeing them enjoying that interest may increase, as you said there are people who really don't want to gamble so even you'll bring them in casino they'll not going to play, though nowadays, the influence of social media really affects people's mindset not just those young adults but also those people who don't have deeper understanding on how risky it is when you dive in into gambling, they just simply believe from what they've witness from a social media post that they've watch and quickly dive in and start playing.

Most minors get addicted to gambling through casino advertisements, because these types of advertisements are very tempting in the eyes of teenagers, because at this age their attraction and greed for money is very high, so when they see such advertisements, they can never control themselves easily. Therefore, at least for them, every parent should keep a close eye on their children for their safety, limit their internet use and keep them away from entering wrong websites, these things should be strictly followed.

And the offers and bonuses they offer are tempting.
That adds to the impact on why many teenagers are into gambling nowadays. While they're not yet able to work, they think that this is a good way of earning money.
Their minds are innocent and that's why they need to watch themselves carefully but how they can if the gambling advertisements are all over the internet.

As a business then it would be just that a default thing that they would be running some ads because its that a vital step for a business success on which it would be needing up such exposure on which you would be needing up to consider as an owner. If a business wont be putting up some budget allocation for marketing then it wont be that shocking if ever the business doesnt get any players or clients or customers on which it would be leading up into that bankruptcy or failure of the business. Now we are living on digital world on which social media is the largest source of traffic then its not that new or shocking that these businesses or any industries out there will be that trying out to put their ads into these places and thats a normal business owner would do, but sadly due to on having no restrictions too much specially on gambling then youth could potentially see these stuffs and could be highly that influencing and could lead up into that possible addiction if you wont be able to control yourself well.

Gambling ads could be everywhere and if you are a parent whose that being that worried about on the potential influence that it could have into your kid, then it is just that right that you should be that trying out to have that good guidance on which this will be that totally needing up as our kids growing up. They would be that be susceptible into tons of things around on which it will be that causing up that potential actions that will be that derailing them into their goals in life. We do know that ads couldnt be just that limited into gambling but also in other things as well on which it might be ending up on being a vice and if you wouldnt be aware as a parent, then there's high chance that there will be that kind of engagement on which you wouldnt be able to know. This is why its still recommended on having that kind of monitoring and having some open up session with your kids since they are the ones that will be most likely be that influence but well even adults could be that hooked up too because this marketing doesnt truly work if it would be only targeting younger audience, it is for all.

I understand your concern and a kid can ne influenced easily than an adult but it's shifting the responsibility of a parent for now taking care of their kids and started blaming others for their failure.

Let's just compare it with movies, an action thriller one which will have people fighting each others to death or just get a gun and kill whoever comes into their way so now can we say that movies influence kids to commit crimes so it should be banned?

The same has been said about violence on videogames as well, although we know most kids won't become violent or become criminals due to playing GTA during their childhood. Regards gambling, the same applies, or even less, because we are talking about an activity which demands constant flux of money to be practiced. And where is a kid going to make an income from?

It seems unlikely, therefore, the kid doesn't have money to gamble. The maximum he can do is to play demo mode where money and prizes are fictional.

I believe the worst scenario is when the parents are gamblers, while giving misleading expectations to their children regards gambling. Then the kid can have a wrong perception about gambling, as someone he trusts (his parents) are giving false informations to him, although it's absorbed as true.

Gambling advertisements have become so pervasive that we cannot escape them, especially on social media, where gambling advertisements are not given. We have become so fed up with seeing gambling advertisements that we find it difficult to access social media. Gambling may not have such an impact on us who are intelligent, but for teenagers, gambling advertisements can have a huge impact. Especially if they are curious and interested in gambling advertisements, and they learn to participate in gambling by creating an account, then of course there will be a huge negative impact on that teenager. Because not all teenagers will be able to properly analyze the harmful effects of gambling, which will ruin their careers.

Well I insist a lot on the rookie players because the truth is I would like to protect them from the same thing happening to them as happened to me, I made all the mistakes there were and will be, trial and error, playing like crazy, chasing losses, losing all the money , then getting it back and losing it all, playing with emotions at the surface without control of the money , playing with simple strategies trusting that only with that you win, those types of mistakes are what rookies would like to see, that way they are saved from going through disappointments , bad times and why not? even avoiding possible addictions.

One of the main reasons why people are getting to those kinds of paths is because of lack of knowledge about gambling or how does it work. Some people's thinking is, if someone's winning, they can win too but if their thinking is it's hard to win and relies too much on luck maybe they'll be more cautious on their bets. Rookies thought that it's easy to earn money in gambling, and they think they will always hit the jackpot soon and keep spending money which is what makes them lose a lot of it and will have more problems in the future. They also don’t realize how fast emotions can take over, especially after a loss. Without experience or discipline, it’s easy to fall into a cycle that’s hard to break and some big gambling company taking advantage of those ads that will bait rookies.

I don't think you can hold yourself responsible for the decisions of others and children aren't supposed to be gambling.  As far as shilling for a casino to earn money...  Why not?  I've worn signature advertisements off and on for years and the times that I didn't wear them, I think about all the posts I made and time I spent here...  Most of it is spent arguing with trolls, helping others, or trying to educate those who lack serious knowledge on investing and open source projects.  I think I should be paid for this.  Especially when you get well known enough to be harassed by mentally ill users. 

And the effects it can bring to anyone who see this ads. Here there are a lot of social media influencers who in the beginning, you follow them because they are funny and sharing good experience in life. But now, most of them are somewhat promoting gambling and casinos itself. That's why I don't follow them anymore and they have lost a lot of their followers too. But I just the lure of money is too good that they really take it. And with that, maybe they can really sway other young players to play on that casino and that makes it very dangerous. Specially this influencers followers are male and very young. So it's really very hard to control now specially that online gambling is here to stay for good and everyone are a target by them using this famous personalities.

That still depends on the person though, but yeah, it's not a good idea exposing the young minds into something that even some adults have never understood how it works. Though these ads are so rampant these days that you can literally see it everywhere, that doesn't going to be an excuse if someone from our family who's young that got involved into gambling. There are ways to control them, we just need to figure out how to make it work. Because we all need to face the reality as the world is evolving, becoming worse and worse as generations passes by.
Gambling is not actually bad, but it is the abusive and greedy people who's making it look really really bad.

I didn't say any thing about banning. Kids can get influenced by gambling ads so if adults take responsibility to protect kids it's going to be a benefit because it's some they haven't been told about. If they learn about it when they're adults it's different.

Well to be honest, casinos  ads are really  misleading and 80% false, the idea is just to make their target audience feel they're much better than other casinos, and trust me, greedy gamblers would definitely fall for those tricks. Casinos is not a charity home where you expect love and goodies all for free No! They're business owner who are aimed at making profits, all of their bonuses and incentives are just for advertising, to attract more bettors to use their services. For a very long time I stopped believe those ads that pops up on apps, social media  or even some internet search page.

Is this playing? The ads you are seeing is because of they know you are a sport person, I don't think you will see ads of sport on your television if you are not watching any sports channels, you see other adverts on channels where that ads are expected to be. As for the parents that let their kids watch too much sport, they are to blame for that, they let them watch the channel, they are supposed to make their kids watch less sport or stop watching channels that has much gambling advertising.

This forum has a place where you can disable campaign entirely on the forum, how to your profile information and you can do just that. You don't have to worry about seeing gambling and casino adverts everywhere but I'm not sure if you are going to see a Campaign that's not casino campaign, that's the only available options now. Many privacy companies has left the forum because their services has been a threat to some government. You either choose to work for casino or remove it.

It's a fact,  they are the first to fall for this type of Advertising, because they have no experience and because they have money to Spend , the bad thing is that when they start playing in a casino they think that the money will Never end and that is the fastest thing that happens, when there is no experience the world seems ideal, they get ideas that will earn them a lot of respect , that will make them millionaires and things like that , the bad thing is that they stumble upon the harsh reality.

Forum ads can be disabled so it's one way ppl can stop looking at gambling ads if they want. If ppl watch tv they'll see gambling ads but they've got remote control so they've got options to change channel. It isn't easy because gambling ads have become part of daily life for parents who try to protect children but you'll expect parents to do every thing to protect their children from bad influences.

Indeed. Casinos are business and to continue their operation they need gamblers to play on their sites and eventually lose. These advertisements that seems good to get free money are just their tactics to attract the players.

It's quite understandable since it is part of their marketing strategy to lure the gamblers. But then we need to be careful on choosing which sites to gamble since many of them are shady and not real when it comes to their offers.

It's important ppl don't get tempted to spend savings & money they've taken as loans on gambling. There's ads & promos every day in our life so it's easy to get tempted but ppl shouldn't get influenced by ads. If you've got ad blockers on browser it's going to help avoid the promos & ads.

Well, that is something that must be done now. Everyone should know the consequences of gambling. But I'm worried those innocent kids see that stuff. Their exposure to social media influencers who promote gambling will affect their mindset, and they will get tempted. Even though we say that the government gets some revenue from the gambling industry. I still think that it should be strictly regulated. And these social media influencers are also responsible, knowing that not all are old enough to understand gambling.

ads blocker helper, but it doesn't help much when the ads are coming directly from your social media and some streaming platforms where one might be spending most of their time on. Even without the ads being flashed in our faces, for someone who is not greedy, it will be hard for them to even consider using someone else's money for gambling (loans are not excluded). When you gamble, it should only be with the amount the person can afford to lose and not what will give them extra thinking, adding to the loss.

I'm worried about innocent children who don't understand glamorous promos & ads by gambling companies isn't how gambling happens in real world. They're attracted to gambling because ads & social media promo's are popular they're influencing.

Well I am someone who is constantly playing games on almost all Browsers and my smart phone, and I hardly get any advertising for casinos , games yes, but not casinos , I would not mind if they come out, what bothers me is if games come out on android and payments, that's annoying, but at least in my country things are not like that.

Since gambling is a business, it's natural for them to advertise everywhere. I spend some time on the internet and social media every day, and that's why there are so many gambling platform ads. I think almost everyone has a cell phone these days, which is connected to the internet, and social media platforms, so I think they're more or less aware of the numerous gambling ads.

Although gambling is prohibited in my country, these ads are widespread. The government has previously blocked access to online gambling, but ultimately, online gambling continues to this day, becoming so commonplace that it's almost as if it's no longer prohibited.

In my country, there are no casino or betting ads at all in mobile and computer games, but if I turn on the TV during prime time, I see a lot of betting ads on all channels.
Also, if I surf on the Internet, for example, buy some hygiene products or choose products, then on the sites I also see a lot of betting ads (probably gambling ads are prohibited in the country where I live, I don't know for sure).
I often see celebrities advertising sports betting on the radio.

There are different laws for each different country, i don't understand which country you are from (it doesn't matter) but in others it is allowed.
I think it will end up like tobacco, in the West tobacco advertising is banned
when they understand that gambling addiction is very harmful, they will also ban that advertising

Actually that's what are currently happening here in my country if you check every corner of the road there's a huge banner advertisement about gambling and their promos and its slowly getting catastrophic because even the children getting normalize this kind of banners and ads as part of their daily life, as of now here in PH the government taking an action to regulate or at least banned those not license casino but still there are some huge of it, now every people here in you can see tons of debt due to gambling, tons of people getting addicted and get destroyed their lives. In terms of sports most likely that's people want this is the reason why they keep playing the same time the entertainment of sports betting is different than the slot and table top games the same time you are supporting your favorite teams.

If they're putting big gambling posters & banners on street corners you'll be sure children are going to see them. Poor adults who'd like to have money to help their family are going to see them. If your govt's regulating gambling ads they'll save many ppl from losing their money & many children from looking at the ads.

It's going to help a lot if the government will be able to manage preventing more and more ads to comes up, if they'll be able to regulate the gambling industry that really growing so fast, they need that kind of claw to prevent them to shows everywhere especially those big banners where kids can see them without any restrictions, it's going to be a big help avoiding exposures and interest if ever the government will be able to execute.

Gambling's a big problem in many countries so govt's must take responsibility to protect it's ppl from harm. They've got to prevent children from gambling ads if they don't they aren't doing their job. Some thing's got to be done to stop ppl getting addicted to gamble.

But a lot of ad blockers now are paid services. The free ones are not helpful enough. I think we should also use browsers with good privacy and ad blockers. I am using Brave Browser, and it helps a lot to block some of the advertisements.

It is true that the influence of the ads today can really urge a person to gamble. Even our digital cash application here in our country has gambling inside it, and what they can only provide is a warning to gamble responsibly. But imagine that, easy access to gambling, and the deposit is so easy because it's the digital cash application itself that is providing the service. It doesn't even take a minute for the deposit to reflect.

Indeed right, the authorities needs to do their very best to help in terms of preventing the wide spread of gambling from the vicinities that they have control, without doing things it will suffer the entire nations, we all know the after effect of gambling, those who got addicted can go further and create crimes as they aiming to proceed and continue their gambling activities, the government needs to help in combatting and do all the best that they've got to avoid getting all their people involve without any control.

But I think that the only way to stop gambling is through proper education, the government can never stop gambling completely, even if the government introduces punitive laws for gambling, it is not possible to stop it, because every gambler knows how to gamble secretly, and the advertisements of casinos will never stop, because it is the right of every casino because they must do this to improve their business, so no one can ever stop them. But if every child can be properly explained how harmful gambling is, and if they understand the right thing and stay away from it on their own, then it will be most effective. And for this, we cannot wait for the government's actions, every person in a society should responsibly establish their society, where everyone will pay attention to these issues and always give the right advice, from which everyone can understand the harmful side of gambling and want to stay away from it.

If you're someone with strong religious beliefs and feel conflicted about promoting gambling or casino sites, it’s best to avoid them altogether. Repeated exposure to these ads definitely has an effect on our minds. The more we see a product, the more it sticks with us  and when the time comes, it’s usually the first thing we remember.

Lately, my Meta feed has been flooded with gambling-related ads. Some aren’t even directly about gambling, but they’re cleverly designed to resemble it  fake ads disguised as casino promotions. This kind of marketing can influence our behavior without us realizing it. I even caught myself wanting to try out a few of those games.

If you look closely, you’ll notice that gambling ads are among the highest paying ones that’s why they’re everywhere right now

If gambling ads are highest paid it's because gambling corps have money to buy ads. They're putting gambling ads online & on posters in your towns & villages. It's impossible for parents to stop their children looking at them they're every where.

Even though I use an ad blocker in the browser, these ads still come to the fore. One should not be affected by these ads, but they are designed uniquely so that anyone will be attracted to them just by seeing them. However, I try to avoid them as much as possible. Again, there are many ads from which good things can also be learned.

We should all be grateful that these companies are supporting our favorite teams really and they can often be some of the leading sponsors - pumping the biggest amounts of money into clubs and sometimes supporting individual players. People should have a bit of personal responsibility when it comes to gambling, the internet gives you all the resources you need to protect yourself from getting too deep into it but schools could maybe do a bit better on the education front to make sure the younger generations don't get hooked too easily. Mixers are absolute trash and just another name for a money laundering service - no major club will go anywhere near them and that's why you won't find a single mixer being accepted by any mainstream sport, that should be quite obvious.

It may be impossible for the parents to stop their children from looking at gambling ads like you said, but then, it doesn't also stop the parents from talking to the children, it is usually not really enough for the children to simply see and straight away want to gamble, there is always that stage where they ask around, maybe the parents what that is all about, but is if the parents are really close their children anyway.

It is now in the hands of the parents to explain clearly to the child what gambling is and how dangerous it is for them to want to gamble at such an early stage in their life, knowing the dangers associated with gambling can atleast make them think twice about it even when the ads are scattered everywhere.

How to apply that proper education? No matter how the government would be having those bans or prohibitions or giving out warnings or cautions then there would be still those people who would be that loving to gamble, but most of the time on which government wouldnt be banning out gambling on which considering this one giving out the highest revenue when it comes to taxes then it cant be denied that they would be at least giving out that kind of priority because they can totally be beneficial. On the time that addiction rate or number increases then this is the time that they might be considering on taking up some actions whether they would be banning it or would be having some sort of pause or what. When it comes to advertisements then it wouldnt be that something new or simply being rampant now specially on social media. These businesses are highly profitable on which means that they can afford on running up marketing in all possible channels and since they do have the budget then that scope or ads would be that broad.

I wouldn't say that it become part of daily life although I always see ads everywhere so I would say it is kinda part of daily ife but that's just it unless I became a gambler again. Casinos want to entice people to gamble in their casino that's why there are lots of ads being advertised anywhere like facebook and other websites. It's no surprise that they do it since casino is a business afterall so I am not surprised that there are lots of ads from different casinos.

They're sponsoring ppl's fave teams we know it's funds help give teams wins & success because they've got the best players but it doesn't mean it's ok if children look at sponsors & ads. Gamble corps & sports teams must be responsible if they're serious about protecting children.

It is not just because of casino wants to entice people to gamble that is why their are so many ad from casino's.  I think the reason for the more ad is because of competition, their are a lot of casino coming up  and if their are no ad it can make the casino not to be known.

At the end of the day the casino with much ad Stand the chance to be more popular which will also be an advantage to the casino,  I think this is becoming part of life, this has become one of big industry which people never noticed before now.

Well at least you see something like that, I know that Google's algorithm will always refer us to show us advertising of what we always frequent, that rarely happens to me with casinos, and those that I Rarely play, but it seems to me there are many pages about sports , of course I am always pending on Football games when I can't watch them on TV, maybe that has something to do with it, although in my country casino games are no longer prohibited, they still try to block it.

the issue is that even when you try to avoid them, they keep coming again and if you are not seeing them on one social media platform, you tend to see it in another places. all the jerseys we put on are sponsored by one gambling companies or the other and when you even wear those jerseys, you are indirectly promoting those product and helping them boost their visibility. it is the reality we have come to terms with and the only thing we can do is to educate those that might get into gambling by the one sided narrative some of the ads put out to know that gambling is a risky thing that anyone can get addicted to. if they know the pros and cons of gambling, they can on their own decide how to go about it and whatever consequences of their actions or inaction that comes from their decision, they will be left to bear it.

You are using the internet wrong you should not be seeing any advertisements at all or using Google. The problem again comes back to the user and not to those doing the advertisement. I don't remember seeing a single ad in the last decade or longer, sometimes I forget how bad it can be.  ;D Gambling ads just be banned permanently in the public facing utilities like search engine, similar to smoking advertisements.

Even without a ban, everyone can still use other methods if they want to use Google without experiencing any interference from ads. The method I'm referring to is blocking every ad using an ad-blocking app or specific extension to permanently block ads without compromising our own preference for using Google. Because other search engines besides Google also have numerous ads, the fundamental thing that shouldn't be influenced by our own thoughts about seeing ads when they're not blocked is that they can still be ignored without anyone intentionally blocking them.

They have the money because their industry is booming. A lot of people are already looking for platforms or places to gamble they just need to decide where and these ads that casinos put out is their way to attract their customers into their platforms. Casinos or companies dedicate a huge chunk of their budget into ads or marketing because they know that it will pay off and they will definitely get a load of customers from it.

Although it will be difficult to stop gambling advertisements everywhere, they will certainly be known to anyone, regardless of age, who accesses the internet. It's true what you say, if the role of parents is very important to explain to their children about gambling, especially informing them of the negative impacts and negative side of gambling if they fall into it or become addicted to gambling. However, the most vulnerable are children who are not close to their parents and even spend a lot of time freely accessing the internet. Again, it all depends on the education of parents to their children, so they can regulate or limit activities that have a less positive impact on their children.

Banning it would be that tough because if we do consider out with those current biggest social media channels then it would be that impossible for it to be that totally get rid of, not unless if all of those social media platforms will be having that total ban with gambling ads then it might do but we do know that this isnt something that they would be that doing yet this is also a serious business or cashflow for these platforms too. Considering about that different industries does have that different allocation budget when it comes to marketing and this is why we've seen that tons of different variations when it comes into this aspect. There are those times that you do become that being that too involved or being serious to deal up with it once that curiosity kicks in. As an individual then it will be that neither you would be affected negatively or you would be that having no effect at all just because you've been that seeing yourself that responsible when it comes into the actions that you are that doing into. There are just that those times or moments that you do become too interested specially when making making with gambling.

They invest more in their ads and marketing strategy because they know that it has a huge impact on the business. They take a risk doing this because this is the way to make the community know that they exist. They are doing this today because they want to gain popularity. Perhaps that is the main reason. They are not rich, they are just willing to spend money in order for the business to succeed. If we are running a business, we know how marketing plays an important role.

Their industry's booming because ppl are gambling & losing more than they're winning. There's gambling ads & sponsorship every where you look because they're trying to get rich & poor ppl to gamble more.

This just proves that advertisements do work in these times especially on children and because of that they should be fully outlawed. Neither online, nor in real world or in any sporting events. That will have a big impact on reducing new players.

Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done for us to stop gambling ads from being mounted on billboards so that the underage do not get their eyes on them. But one thing we can do as grown-ups is to let our younger ones know that they should stay away from gambling until they grow up. That way we have saved them from gambling at a young age.

By the time they are above 18 years, they can choose whether they can learn about gambling or continue staying away from it with the exposure they will get about life as they have grown

Losing here is very natural and most of the time it is not possible to lose, casinos will naturally do everything to attract people to them, because they will advertise as much as possible to increase their business.

But yes, we can never deny that it is never possible to achieve big wins through gambling, there are some ppl who get big wins, but very few people get that win, that is, only 0.1% of 100% of people can achieve that big win.

That is, only the lucky gambler can win here, but if someone keeps gambling uncontrollably to achieve big wins, then in that case he will never get his desired win, rather he will face more losses.

So you have to be responsible here, you will definitely get what is in your destiny, but do not try to achieve anything above your destiny, then gambling will lead you to a difficult disaster.

Gambling ads are made to attract innocent individuals. Let us accept the reality that younger people are now exposed to gambling; they see it on social media platforms. Their guidance is very important these days, as we cannot ignore the possibility that, at a very young age, they may gamble.

Telling them to stay away seems not to be effective anymore because gambling ads continue. Let us accept the fact that gambling is no longer new to us but rather a part of our lives now.

The question is, why does the government allow ads to be published? That is because it was not bad. It only happens that gamblers are irresponsible.

It is impossible to stop advertising for casinos, it will be there forever, because casinos have to improve their business, here if you are not responsible and get addicted to it and face losses, then it is your responsibility only, because casinos never forced you to gamble, here you were completely free, but you guided yourself by emotions and greed, so I will never blame casinos in terms of advertising, you have to be responsible for yourself, if you manage everything responsibly, nothing will cause you harm, but if you are greedy, it will definitely bring you terrible losses.

It's impossible to stop gambling ads because they've got money to put ads on tv & posters in any town or city. If they're putting ads near school or religious buildings they aren't responsible they shouldn't put profit before morals.

it is quite interesting to know that there are people out there that dont like gamble ads wow thats good, but to be frank it is endangering the young ones because they might just have to try what they dont have idea about.

I am with you on everything that concerns casinos and sports betting games, those who fall into addiction quickly say goodbye to their money and it is the total responsibility of the player because before playing we must know the risks that donkeys entail, no, it should not matter, it is a risk, we must know what we are facing, if we fall into addiction we must get out as quickly as possible so that life does not go to hell, it is a very bad experience for those who enter into addictions.

What you wrote does not make sense. A single law could stop all gambling ads by tomorrow, so yes it is absolutely possible to stop them. However, the people that vote on laws do not want to stop them because they get money from the gambling industry.

Yes. If you have money, you can advertise, but not all advertisements can be given even if you have money, especially if they are socially objectionable. If the public complains about an advertisement, or it hinders any religious activity or causes any harm, then the relevant persons in charge can definitely take action against it. but those who run gambling must not place any advertisement in places that are not reasonable.

In the country where I live you will not find casino ads on the street, but it is easy to find bookmaker ads, for some reason the state thinks that these are completely different things. Although I think that betting and gambling are very close in meaning and many people switch from one to the other.
Also, betting ads are very easy to find on many government websites with news or entertainment content. Most likely, the sponsor of these bookmakers is some relative of politicians.

In normal circumstances gambling addiction can be controlled, but the problem is that so people who is addicted doesn't know why they're addicted in the gambling, so I believe that gambling is all about precautions

Someone who addicted can control it, if the person really wants to abstain from it,the first measure should be that, the person will have a budget to gamble and if the budget finishes then it will rest for the moment

The second measure is that, the person should move away from the environment is dwelling and also look for job that will take almost all it time, so that it will not that chances of gambling frequently, this two measure can reduce the effects of seriousness in gambling.

Gambling ads on a bill board shouldn't be the problem because  no matter how hard you try to hide things, the more you do is the more these children eould be curious to know what it's  all about and that is why i support those who would sit their children to educate them about gambling so theses children  understand the danger to getting addicted. Children understand more when you give them examples and if there is any always ensure to do so, so they understand the what it takes to get addicted or gamble irresponsibly.

There would always be ads and promos everyday, what people need to learn is how to discipline themselves and shut their mind from it. The casinos have the right to advertise their business, they don't care about people that are triggered. As gambler these ads and promos should be a reminder for you not to go back to gambling addiction not the other way around. Add are part of their psychological games

Gambling is very risky but as long as you take gambling as entertainment. You can take it as entertainment because gambling is one of the places of exchange of pleasure where you can enjoy in your free time but if you consider gambling as a means of earning money then it will become a means of destroying life for you. Now if you think gambling is bad and it is not possible for you to promote gambling then you can abstain and wait for the mixer to start then you can participate again but I think even if you do not participate here there are many users who will participate freely.

It has become politically correct to have gambling advertising on billboards and also on television. There are not so many, and usually the television channels are required to broadcast those advertisements at night, when it is less likely the youngest children are still up to watch them. Still, I believe it is pretty much impossible to completely isolate children from learning about gambling, if you take a look at one of the most popular First person shooter (counter strike) they have their own parallel economy based on skins and gambling, which are gotten randomly and they have a very different value according to their rarity. Even by allowing one's children to play videogames, they may be gambling and we would not realize it.

What can we say when the national team coach is the main ambassador for a bookmaker? It's absurd, but we have to live with it. I also believe that, in essence, this is a form of gambling, and both will lead to financial loss and moral pressure on the player. There are no casinos in the traditional sense simply because they are not permitted by the state, but I am confident that they could easily appear in bookmaker applications.

Of course casinos have the right to advertise. I don't find fault with the casino platform, I always find fault with ourselves because if we are good, no one will help us to move forward in a bad way. Now the main thing is if we accept gambling as entertainment and play gambling as entertainment, then no matter how much advertising the casino advertises or how much we promote the casino platform, no one will be harmed, but we will be able to enjoy more. Now if we get ourselves addicted to gambling, then in that case the casino platform is not at fault.

It depends on the regulation in the country. If gambling is illegal in the country, it is easy to stop the gambling ads in TV or posters. It will be also impossible to see gambling ads in the school and religious buildings. However, it is surely difficult to stop the gambling ads in social media. Even it is forbidden, there will be always a chance of gambling ads in social media. They can make it through random channels, or they can make much gambling promotion through replies of random accounts. When the random accounts be blocked, there will be more random accounts to do the same way.

Except in countries where gambling is seen as illegal or is prohibited, gambling will continue to be advertised and seen as a good source of income to as many as possible, it is some other person's business and as a person's business the most way for them to gain visibility will be by advertising of which if they  do not advertise their business, they may not get as much customers as they should and so they will keep advertising and they should and will not be blamed for anyone irresponsibility with gambling because they always prescribe the recommended age on their advert and the fact that you should gamble responsibly is always stated there.

While you're trying to teach your children how to gamble responsibly, we have ads telling them the complete opposite and the children see the ads more times than you advice them hence they're always going to be moved towards doing what they see often because they'll be thinking that's the right thing to do. Gambling ads should be moderate more than they're being moderate because things are beginning to get out of hand and if we don't take precaution and matters into our own hands, we might be having a generation of gambling addicts.

Everybody isn't supposed to be gambling because of how vulnerable they can become but because of gambling ads, everybody is now thinking they can become gambling professionals because the ads are making things look easy when they're easy

Do people even pay attention to billboards or ads they see on tv, online? Maybe 10-20 years ago seeing an advertisement would give an effect, because it was new to everyone, and due to lack of content, people remember ads and did what advertisement asked them to do (remember all those «call now...» or «buy now because amount is limited» in every ad). Now we have so many ads around, that they dont do much of an effect.

Why not, if advertising were not effective then it would not be used as widely as it is. The ways of attracting customers simply change, on television such advertising is prohibited but on the internet there is a lot of it. And buy now is still used in advertising because it is already like a mandatory template that should be applied for better sales.

It is true that gambling advertising campaigns will continue in countries where gambling is legal. Through this, gambling customers increase and every customer is made aware of the need to be very careful while gambling. It is natural for every businessman to conduct advertising to keep their business running. Casinos do not force anyone to gamble. If you gamble without self-control and suffer a big loss, it is completely your own fault and it is not right to blame anyone else. It is not right to gamble because of our greed. It is better to conduct gambling by remembering that gambling is mainly for entertainment and not for making money. We should conduct gambling with money that we can afford to lose.

In modern times, you might not choose TV to advertise something because it has become an old medium nowadays. I think those experienced developers will not choose the old medium they will use those suitable media for advertising which have become the habit of most people such as those which can be easily accessed through phones and those online traffic where most of the users are roaming. These advertisements have mostly become a cause of annoyance so if you decide to promote something you should try to reach the customers in a different way and make sure that they do not get annoyed by seeing your advertisement.

For some, it might not be as attractive as it is years ago, but for sure, there are still people that are paying attention to these billboards or those ads that we are seeing on Television, and speaking of Television, there are still many people watching on TV, and for the advertisers, they're considered as a lead or a customer in this case.

It's still effective because if it doesn't, why many are still doing it at first place. There are many ways to promote a business already, but advertising through billboards and through TV have a specific target of people, and it's the same when we are seeing these gambling advertisements online. TBH, the phrase "Buy Now!!!" is still effective as it was years ago. At the end of the day, it's all about psychology, and how you can attract customers through different phrases, colors, strategies, ways, etc.

The most affected by advertising are young guys who are curious about everything. Most of them are under the age of eighteen and they are especially attracted to the ads and the topic on which they are advertised. Even if gambling is legal in a country, the government of that country imposes some restrictions on advertising there, although it is legal for those developers to issue warnings and allow advertising on limited and designated platforms. If you are mature in age you may not be affected by advertising, but it has a terrible negative impact on young guys. You can blame the advertisers if they can't control themselves and stop advertising on platforms where young guys strolling (online or offline).

You are right, addictions are always mental and a lot of times it causes depression, everyone might go about their life and think everything is okay with you but you are dealing with a lot mentally that only you can understand. Sometimes it's better to talk to someone, this isn't going to solve the problem but it's going to help your psychological state. The problem in the head that's hard to remove can be relieved

Yes, nowadays we see a lot of gambling advertisements. When we watch sports, we see promotional videos about different gambling sites in commercial advertisements and when we browse various social media, we also see gambling advertisements. The gambling site advertisements that are advertised on various channels are quite safe, but in many videos on social platforms, some gambling sites are advertised which are actually not safe at all and all these sites have to be transacted through third parties. I think gamblers should always refrain from all such gambling sites. Gambling is already considered a risky game, if we cannot select the right gambling site, then the risk of our money will increase several times, so we cannot do this. The first and most important condition of gambling is to select a good gambling site and then continue gambling using your own skills. To my knowledge, there are several sites that can be trusted and I use them for gambling.

Gambling ads would always be part of our daily life and we need to learn to adapt... people always use the excuse of ads they come across to fall back into gambling but that's a sign of Indiscipline.. casinos would always run ads whether it has a negative or positive impact on gamblers, all they care about is promoting their business.. gamblers must learn to be mentally mature enough to avoid such distractions

I started to notice that there were too many ads, both offline and online, that I simply stopped paying attention to them and didn't even read them or look at the pictures as soon as I recognized the casino font. Naturally, this became everyday life, because those who look at these ads, such players have a trigger and even if they don't play today because of this, then perhaps in a few days when they are not in the mood or it is raining outside, they will become sad and they will all go into the game, this is how I approximately imagine the effect of this advertising on players.

I use firefox with extensions like ublock origin, sponserblock for youtube and privacy badger. So I am minimizing my exposement to any kinds of ads, whether of gambling nature or not. But I also believe there are a lot of unblockable ads for gambling, especially in places like porn sites, streaming sites and forums. I have never been affected by any advertisements because of this habitual avoidance.

Most of my gambling activities come from the persuation of other people. In other words, peer pressure. Or simple boredom.

Gambling sites can run ads and it can be done in any way. Now, to survive in this competitive market, marketing ads always play an important role in attracting new gamblers. When a gambling site can't run an ad honestly, it's hard to trust them. So I want to look at gambling advertising in a positive way, and it's become so much more involved in our daily lives now.

I completely understand what you say, that gambling advertisements are everywhere and worrying how a child can be exposed to those so easily. It is not that healthy of an atmosphere particularly when these advertisements make gambling appear enjoyable without depicting the dangers. Ad blocker is the wise move towards exposure reduction, although, as you put it, some advertisements can simply be impossible to ignore on the Web. Mostly the people in my surroundings have become tempted due to friends or simply out of boredom and not the ads itself that have lured them to be tempted. It is a tough call since gambling at the first stage might appear quite harmless, and pressure and multiple advertisements cannot rise to the best decisions.

I'm so tired from this ads...
Every time I try to watch educational videos or National Geographic videos on the Internet, I constantly get targeted advertising from my country, in which they advertise slots to me, promising a lot of free spins, as well as excellent starting conditions, in which my deposit will be multiplied by one and a half times.
I can't imagine what would happen if I were a gambler who was trying to quit this hobby, because 100% I would think about going into slots again.

Yes. Every people are different, maybe for you because you're tired of it seeing daily but in other cases, they'll gonna get curious about it. Like why did they paid for a billboard and will formulate some ideas like, maybe they're a legit and good platform? and will end up trying out the platform because of curiosity. Maybe for us, these billboards aren't attractable but the reason why it's being used still is because it's quite effective. The case here in the Philippines, imagine that majority of the billboards in a highway is full of gambling ads, so you think they won't get curious about it? thousands of people are driving in that main highway daily, imagine the effect of it.

Ok, let them be less effective instead. But people pay little attention to them anyway. When you see different PEPSI ads, I bet you are not just surprised by them, but you dont even notice them running. You remember their red-blue-white logo and that is it. Their ads are everywhere, but they dont encourage you to go and buy PEPSI every time your are thirsty. Why would they even run advertisement, when everyone are already familiar with product and it can be found everywhere. For me gambling ads are like PEPSI ads, I notice them, but rarely pay attention to what they offer.

Every product has advertising, no matter if it is casino services, transport, a doctor or food. With the help of advertising, we see a variety of options and can choose the best one for ourselves. Gambling is a business, and without advertising, they will not be able to inform potential customers about their existence, like any other type of activity. In addition, gambling advertising is usually regulated more strictly than other advertising. A person chooses how to react to this advertising, to use it or to ignore it.

I have never said that its not useful, not working at all and there should be no advertisements. All I want to say that effect of gambling ads if blurry. If in the past we have only few ads, then now whenever we watch any content is looks that we have content between ads, then ads between content. We are so used to products we have been consuming or using during eyes, that we dont notice new or notice only extra ordinary or little of new offers.

However, gambling has negative impacts that are difficult to avoid, including addiction. Therefore, gambling advertising needs to be limited, especially on social media, where everyone is present, from children to adults. Given all the risks, I believe it's crucial for any platform trying to advertise gambling to include warnings, not just promotions, to attract visitors.

And as gamblers, of course, we must be more careful in choosing which gambling sites to visit. Many gambling sites offer attractive offers, but when visitors win, the site doesn't pay out. And most importantly, of course, is the security of visitors' personal data. But it's unfortunate that many gamblers are currently trying to change sites to increase their chances of winning, but the results are the same.

If you have someone who you whom can entrust sensitive details about you then I agree that unloading things like this may help you, though like what you mentioned not as to resolve but atleast it can uncarry something that being burden inside your brain, sometimes by knowing that someone may still listen and have their take about your situation may give you some strenght trying to cope up and re-assess yourself, they may able to guide you to set things right either by their own experienced or something that may give you enlightenment to cope up.

In fact, gambling continuously advertised everywhere is not just a kind of background noise. you know Children are not merely curious, they memorize and develop good vibes about gambling, particularly when promos flex celebrities, comedy, or become showy of EZ-wining. Social media, particularly, is sketchy, youth exposure to ads is beyond the charts and normalizes.

Well, sure, Makus, kids need to be taught what parents say, etcetera. But alastantiger has a sharper point, there are more ads than lessons. That crazy misproportion is what makes children believe that gambling is cool, simple, and ubiquitous.

I agree, that's why people say ads works like hypnosis and the more you keep getting exposed to it you would become more mind controlled and addicted... it's best to avoid these ads when you are trying to give gambling a break because they might cause you to relapse or better still lead to develop your mind to be immune to it because you will always come across these ads, gambling companies would always keep their business running

You can't avoid ads because they're every where. If getting exposed to gambling's like minds being controlled & addicted you're right. It's like watching ads which work like hypnosis if you're young or don't have strong minds.

It's a bad effect and I'm not going to try and justify it by any means. I think the regulation is also very effective against it offline, but the Internet is a mess when it comes to parental control -- we have way more to fight against than gambling ads for our children. Records like the total search on the dark web for hire killers by teenagers is even more sinister!

So is this about renting out your signature space to a casino, or the daily scandals that have been created as a result of online promotion?? It's not compulsory to wear a signature in the forum -- if you feel doing so is promoting the casinos to the ue wrong audience, just don't.

Casino & gambling ads aren't good for ppl it isn't healthy. You can't stop small children from not looking at gambling ads. There isn't a way you can hide all gambling ads from children online & offline.

This topic's about gambling ads being every where & to discuss how it's affecting users.

Imo they are not affecting people at all. If you saw million times gambling advertisement already, any new advertisement wont make an effect on you, as well as you wont even notice that ad. Not sure if billboards are useful today, because even on the streets, people are in their gadgets. Not sure if ads during videos or while playing a game are effective, people skip them and feel annoyed because they were interrupted. Not sure if ads on TV have effect, because they come in blocks, one by one, and during those 10-15 minutes people use to go grab food, do something else and etc.

If we're using gadgets when we're in the street & ppl ignore billboard ads why are gambling companies paying to show them ? Some ppl use ads time to order food or make calls but gambling companies pay for ads in tv shows because it's helping get customers. If it doesn't affect ppl gambling companies won't pay to show ads.

On the other hand, billboard ads have a lot of impact and I know this because every time they pay a very important testimonial who has an impact and who is very famous in the industry, so there would be no point in paying him if he wasn't profitable, so yes, in my opinion, they have a lot of impact.

But any advertising influences us. For example, I consider alcohol, smoking and unhealthy food to be a greater evil than gambling, since they directly affect our health, but for some reason there are not so many discussions about their advertising. I am always for the possibility of choice. The only thing is that in the advertisements of organizations, such as casinos, it is still worth writing a note that no game gives a 100% win, in order not to mislead inexperienced users, and also to warn that the game uses various techniques to keep the client in the game.

There is no denying that gambling advertisements can be really harmful to a healthy, moral person, especially for young people and children. It attracts people to gambling, but its effect is more negative for young people and children than for adults. However, if someone, keeping their own goals and direction in life, adds gambling advertisements to their signature campaign, it is their personal choice. Because every person has the ability to distinguish between good and bad or consider judgment, if someone thinks that advertising gambling will not work in such a campaign, then that is their personal matter.

With the way things have advanced and developed, we cannot do without improving on our own self each day and also make use of the internet on a daily basis, this same applies to why we cannot avoid coming across ads on the internet by any chance, because they are being massively engaged in making diverse promotions, except we shine our eyes well in other not to fall under the attempt for scam through some of this ads.
 
In gambling, by now i expect that we should have been used to the effect of adds, because this is also part of the ways they easily targeted on random people from he internet and make use of them for doing promotions for their business, some are good and at the same vein, some are not, but we should always have it in mind that we can come across anything of such.

They I will question you following. Forums is full of gambling advertisement, we see gambling ads around all the time. Can you admit that you have started gambling more, spend more money and time, compared to you 3 years ago? Have you become more gambling person? Somewhat tells me that no, you havent changed your approach to gambling. But isnt that a proof that gambling ads have little or less effect now, even though number of them grows?

It's always a mental problem at first, then with drugs it also becomes a physical problem. Surely no one says no.
with gambling it becomes both a mental and physical problem even if some say no, since you are drugged with dopamine, that is the chemical element that creates the addiction

Television is an outdated way to advertise? Are you serious? On the contrary, the audience is so big that ads and commercials cost a fortune. Nothing compares to such a source of traffic as television. All over the world, people watch TV almost every day and for several hours a day. Elderly people do nothing but stare at this idiot box all day long. In my country, a lot of people order products they saw on TV. It brings in a lot of money.

Because of commercial cost, gambling is not advertised (or very rarely) on TV. I might be wrong, but isnt it not allowed to advertise gambling on TV? Only product lotteries are allowed (buy our product, register check and participate in a lottery - such kind of advertisement is allowed only). Other side of TV advertisement - little effect. There are so many ads and they are so frequent, that they become annoying. People watch them, but dont "read" the information in it. Shown information isnt memorized. But I will agree with previous speaker, that TV advertisement is a passing era, like advertisement on a radio.

I didn't mean gambling advertising on TV. Naturally, it is banned. I think this is the right decision on the part of the government. Although here the officials and deputies did the right thing. Will it last? As soon as the regime changes, we may see it again.

Still, I wouldn't say that people don't perceive TV advertising. There are some ads that stick in your memory for a long time. If the advertising is created creatively and qualitatively, it will definitely become a masterpiece even in our days.

Yeah, it's  a good way to target those people who are mostly in the internet, whatever the age there's no exemption as the ads can simply be impose by those promoters who wanted to take that opportunities in making money, it's a work hand and hand between those casino owners and those promoters who accepts profits in exchange on promoting the business, those who are actively using the internet are the target traffics that can be onverted to possible gambler to use the services.

I tell you this is the period we ought to be very cautious and vigilant about how our kids are open to these things, cause most of them are privileged to make use of phones and when they come across this ads they get interested and will want to try out and that's how they get involve in gambling at a tender age without prior orientation that will hinder them in the long run.

Yes, it is true that nowadays gambling advertisements are being widely circulated, which will have an impact on our children. If they become addicted to gambling after seeing these advertisements, then it will be a sad matter for us. Therefore, as parents, it is our duty to guide our children in the right direction and keep them away from watching advertisements of platforms like casinos. Children may get interested in it and gamble when they see advertisements on TV. Therefore, we will ask them to refrain from these.

Yes, it's a good way to attract new customers who have never played before and they're usually young people who want to try their luck. As I always say, there's never a problem if you don't play much, but you have to be aware that things can get out of hand, especially if you're young.

Gambling and drug addiction are a perfect combination for driving someone insane or even slowly dying. I have a friend who is addicted to drugs and gambling. He is emaciated, mentally disturbed, and in debt, often resorting to loans to satisfy his gambling and drug cravings. His life is truly miserable.
Both are terrible addictions. Gambling addiction causes widespread problems, not only mentally and psychologically but also with those around him due to debt issues, for example. Drug addiction destroys health little by little. May we be kept away from these two terrible things. ;)

I believe that such things have restrictions, you can filter out the things you don't want to be displayed on your tv when you are with your kids. At their tender age it's good to protect them from such things, when they get older they might probably learn it from either peers or just curiosity.  Even though they end up learning about gambling when they are above 18 it won't be as bad as when they start doing it from a tender age

I agree with you, whoever has an addiction to both of these things, his life will definitely be ruined. If you are addicted to anything, then it will be harmful for you.
Both gambling and drugs are terribly addictive and they are very harmful, and when you are deeply addicted to both of them, then it is not possible to stop your disaster in any way.
In fact, their addiction leads anyone to a very bad path and forces them to cross any limits.
Even if they do not have money, they will take loans, if they do not get loans, they will start selling valuable things from their homes and eventually they will also indulge in acts like theft.
In fact, these are like a cycle, where people gradually move towards disaster, and in the end their situation will be destroyed from all sides.

Ads are the biggest influence on the mindset of people. They think that once they gamble, they will likely be rich. In fact, that is what these influencers are trying to do. They show money to encourage you to gamble.

The government allows it, and so casinos take the huge benefit they could get. Indeed, we are not promoting gambling to make someone addicted. But we are here to promote gambling in a responsible manner.

Gamble responsibly if we want to be fine. And gamble irresponsibly if we want to have a miserable life.

When it comes to ads, i want to believe that its not only the gambling platforms that are making use of ads in advertising for their platforms, some other platforms also do engaged in doing the same and it only happens that we often see the gambling ads in promotions online, unlike how others promote for their own platform, we are to also note that it is not perfect enough for us to have our leaders seeing gambling as the only means to leaving a miserable life or getting involved into illicit acts by the people.

Yes, especially if the person has a stubborn character and is sensitive to anything that goes against their wishes, which is usually a person like that is selfish and will not listen to anything said by others. This character also has the potential to worsen the situation of addiction, firstly, it will make it very easy for them to make crazy decisions and secondly, it will make it much more difficult for them to recover because it is difficult to listen to advice and input from others. Justifying any means to get money and also selling some of their belongings are actions that are most likely to be done by an addict. Honestly, I have also done that before, namely selling some of my belongings when I was still trapped in addiction. I deeply regret it but now I am recovered, honestly, it is a very scary situation, you will feel a lot of pressure from various sides.

The numerous advertisements displayed by each casino are perfectly normal, after all, all businesses do the same. However, many people misunderstand this and simply become addicted.
Everyone has different perspectives; some are easily attracted by what they see, while others are more discerning. Furthermore, advertising is very effective these days, especially if the ads are highly engaging. It's no wonder so many people are drawn to them.
The winnings offered in these advertisements are simply a strategy. Even if we're interested in gambling, as you said, doing so in moderation is the right behavior.

Right, All industries are now that being aggressive when it comes to marketing purposes on which it would be that something that focusing into exposure on which this is actually that a normal thing at all. The only issue on here is into that someone who had been able to easily get hooked up whenever or whatever the things that they've seen online. This is why as a parent on which at their younger age on which means that you would be their kids that will be hooked up and with proper guidance then you can at least make themselves that be able to avoid gambling addiction. Somewhat it is that hard to resist or avoid it out on which we do saw that in this era that everything goes back tino the point that marketing strategies that become even more agreesive and since population is bloated up now then they can always have that possible lettering or what. If you are already that getting fond of or would be that do suck feeling about these remaining ants then it would be better that they should be that leaving silently.

That’s why awareness and education are really the key factors in addressing this issue. If parents, schools, and communities are more open about discussing the dangers of gambling and how marketing influences our decisions, then young people would have better chances of making the right choices before it’s too late.

You're right advertisement is a business tool that is used by all businesses not only casinos you even see alcohol brands doing their advertisement online and even on billboards on the streets and people are getting drunk too so you don't expect that casinos which are into business should not expand their business or even customer base via advertisement, it's left for individual to have self discipline and caution when gambling as for the children it's the duty of the parents to always monitor what they watch or do with their phone to avoid exposing themselves to gambling

This is a fact, in my country the casino was betaed for many years, and after a while they finally managed to accept them again and I remember that a new casino was inaugurated and it was all broadcast on local TV, and that was enough as marketing, in fact it was the only time this was on TV, but it was enough to highlight that it is always full, so if this happened only once on TV, the impact will be very deep each time, social networks are the best for them.

Casinos allocate a huge budget for advertising this is their business strategy and through it to increase the number of users. They will use strategies in the field of advertising and you a gambler will be engaged in gambling for entertainment purposes through self control. I think that low quality casino companies attract customers by spending more money on advertising. For example, if the number of users increases by thousands every week due to the influence of their advertising, then their income will continue to increase and they will be able to sustain the platform very easily.
Parents should be more careful about the participation of minor guys in gambling, especially online because it is relatively easy and they are seen to be addicted to gambling along with their studies.

I have noticed following things and I wish to know if it is only in my country. Online, I face two categories of gambling ads: 1) local casinos that have online casino and offline network of casinos 2) foreign casinos (for fiat and crypto). So here it is - local casino ads only advertise casino and call for registration there. Foreign casinos in ads offer welcome bonuses, free spins, rewards. Local = plain ad, just register. Foreign = receive a bonus. Do you have it like this?

I only see more gambling ads online, which are added to each video and separately with ads. Any time you enter the internet, these ads appear directly on the screen, as a result of which various gamblers, including those who like to play badly, enter these sites. If you don't look at the billboard on the street, it will go unnoticed by you, but online ads reach your brain directly with these ads, as a result of which gamblers get more and more gambling news from the online side.


If you don't want to pay your sig rent, no one will force you to do so, so if you don't like gambling, you can delete all your gambling links. I don't think any manager will force you to promote gambling sites.

Youth and weak minds have nothing to do with it. Advertising uses psychological tricks that even well-educated people don't know about. We all just don't notice it. In order to understand, you need to thoroughly and carefully study this issue. Once, I somehow happened to encounter this. I was amazed at the number of tricks and manipulations from those companies from which I did not expect such things.

You are right mate . There are some people around me who are addicted to gambling and drugs. They often bother me late at night to borrow money. Habitually they are addicted to online gambling. I will tell you about a gambler. He have won a lot of money in gambling. I know that. He is lucky. But he has spent the money he won in gambling on drugs. This guy has a family. But he does not take care of his family well. He is busy with gambling and drugs all day long. I have tried to explain him several times but failed. Such a person is very dangerous. I am sure that he will alowly get involved in various other crimes to collect money from drugs and gambling. I have not seen anyone who has been addicted to gambling and drugs and has been able to continue living a normal life. This is not possible.

The impact of national broadcast brings more interest to the casino, people who watch the inaugarations will entrust their deposit or their money playing with such a huge casino, like you said, more than enough in terms of advertisement, that wide coverage of national television will cover more people to know about the business and will bring their interest to try out and use the services that casino offers for entertainment,.

We cant do without gambling ads, because they have been a way some platforms promotes for their services, not only the gambling platforms in this regard alone were found with the use of ads in promotions, some other companies and organizations also make use of ads for their own service promotions, the internet now is broad that aide from the use of ads, people are using their individual profiles in making advertisement and these are made possibly because they stand to earn from it, so it has placed lot of opportunities in the society for the people.

Yeah, you are absolutely right- there are gambling advertisements all over the internet and they even overpower the ads of other products. It is impossible to refute that online advertisements contribute to a significant increase in involvement, particularly in the case of problem gamblers. In adolescents, gambling promotion (TV, social, sport) increases the chances of risky play by 37% and the odds of becoming problem gamblers nearly gets doubled.

Some nations are cracking down harshly, afaik, Ireland is forbidding gambling advertisements during prime time and hefty fines are on the way. So the problem is not just that the platforms are using ads but that some governments aren’t doing nearly enough to prevent them, particularly when they are being used to hurt younger, more vulnerable people.

I've I have been thinking about this for a long time.
I'll I will stop using shortcuts like ppl people & and aren't are not.

We're We are a group of friends who learned to code together in class, we offer web development services in bitcointalk. We are native Arabic speakers, English is not our first language. Starting from today we will improve how we type our posts.

yeah, promos that are run by local casinos (often brick & mortar chains) are pretty simple "come register" type and mainly focus on physical visits. At the same time offshore or foreign sites (fiat or bitcoin) use aggressive marketing tools to attract players through welcome bonuses, free spins & offers online. This is because online casinos employ the use of glamorous signup offers & other targeted bonuses to act as marketing magnets.

And it is completely logical that one is more focused on selling a sense of community while the other is trying to sell immediate digital rewards. :)

Bro!! thatx really sad to hear and I totaly agree with you that once gambling & drugs mix thatx another comboo for everlastin distater.. it is almost impossible for a person to keep their life on track. even if they win money through that gambling, somehow it never really benefits them because it all gets wasted on drugs or trying to chase the next win again and that circle will just continue, it is more like being stuck in a loop of very bad habit and at the end of it all families and close buddies suffer the most in these cases and no amount of advice you will give seems to work when the addiction is already deep in them.. and truthfully you are right as long as they continues with same habit, it will eventualy push them towards crime just to keep feeding the habit..

Gambling companies have a responsibility to protect children and gambling addicts. They should not advertise on posters in poor towns and villages because people there have money problems. If they advertise in rich cities they should avoid schools and youth clubs. Gambling ads are a part of daily life for people who do not want to gamble.

Right, gambling companies are supposed to guarantee they have not targeting children and teens, that is relatively easy as there are spaces where children and teens are predominant. However, I am not sure what casinos are supposed to do when comes to gambling addicts.

Those gambling companies do not have reliable ways to know who is addicted to gambling and who is not. If someone gambles much on their casinos it could be just someone who is rich, not addicted to gambling. That is why self-exclusion exists and also declaration/proof of income; it is always necessary for the casino to have feedback from addicted gamblers, otherwise it is pretty difficult for the company.

You are absolutely right, and I would even add that gambling establishments should not only not place their advertising, but moreover, they should prevent even the slightest chance that children from poor cities or villages can become addicted gamblers. And this should be achieved by the fact that schools in such regions should conduct additional courses after school, at least for a few minutes, where the teacher will at least briefly talk about the harmful effects of online casinos or sports betting on immature minds.

I agree with you, if children receive careful education about gambling from their educational institutions, and understand the negative effects of gambling, then they will be motivated to stay away from it.
This can certainly be much more effective, it is necessary to create awareness through the education system to save young people from gambling addiction.
As a result, they will be alert to the negative effects of gambling and want to stay away from gambling, through this system, it is possible to reduce the amount of gambling addiction among minors to a large extent, it will be very effective.
No one can be forcibly stopped from gambling, that is why they have to be educated from within, so that they themselves decide to stay away from it.

I completely agree with you. And I think that these companies (casinos) cannot be justified by the fact that they pay huge taxes that go to maintaining everyday life and order in the country, because anyway, any story with a very dependent person is a very sad story.

I think it is possible for this companies to control and limit their gambling ads to some specific demographics but it will be very difficult to achieve this completely because this guys that own this companies are into the gambling business to make money and that makes adverts one of their strength.

They know that exposing gambling to children and poor people makes them even more vulnerable but the truth is that those ads will always find their ways to reach those audience either directly or indirectly because there's limitations to how specific you can target a particular audience.

For ads like the public banner placements and other online banner placements, it will always cover a wider range of audience than intended including those people who don't want to see them. A solution that can help but cannot completely solve the problem is when governments take more stronger steps by imposing stricter regulations such as limiting gambling related banners near school, poor neighbourhood or market environments and it is also very important for government to enforce more of Responsible gambling so even the rich are protected from taking decisions that they will understand.

Gambling advertisements are given not only in football but also in cricket or all other sports, which is currently having a great impact on the general public. According to my observation, especially those who like sports a lot and watch sports, they are inspired to play there after watching those gambling advertisements. Moreover, according to my observation, every social media platform has added all kinds of links to casino platforms in the videos. Nowadays, many people are active on social media and children also use many mobile phones there and by watching videos from there, they are getting to know about gambling and are getting attracted to gambling.
Although such propaganda is a very problematic cause for the youth of today because they go there to gamble for money, it is also seen that they do not have the attention of their studies but they are addicted to gambling. Although you have a lot of trust in Bitcoin mixers and it is not gambling and people will not get addicted to it, but it is money laundering which is also illegal.
Since it is currently banned from advertising on forums, people will play it since gambling is active, and those who can control themselves do not become addicted.

Though it should be a obligation of the person itself but it's going to be helpful if casino campany will prevent placing their ads where young kids will see them clearly, like posting irresponsibly they should take this as sole responsibilities though government should also accompany them providing right guidance, similar to what you mentioned, school can take extra time to provide proper information giving their students deeper ideas if what's await to those who will going to get addicted.

Gambling ads is not the solution to people's problems with gambling, as many have seen gambling as the way to how they can have fun and get more exciting moments playing games, which should always, there's no way we can go online today without coming across with anything that leads to the promotions of gambling by any form, while we shouldn't take ads as the only thing that can cause people from the society to bad behaviors.

That's right, in fact in my country it is prohibited to advertise gambling on public television, there are no billboards or large neon signs like in Las Vegas, but people still continue to gamble anyway, and I see parents who take their children to these gambling sites so I think that getting involved in gambling from an early age is more cultural than an external influence, since it comes from a social environment, although minors are prohibited from entering these sites, if they go with their representative, it is assumed that they approve of this, and the responsibility for the child falls on the parents.

I'm not so sure they're focusing on this. Land-based casinos are certainly not allowed to gamble with minors, but with online gambling, they could. Furthermore, it's now commonplace for everyone to have their own mobile phone, which likely has an internet connection, making it easier for anyone to learn about and engage in online gambling.
Perhaps all casinos should require players to complete a KYC form, especially with online casinos, where I clearly don't believe they know the exact age of their players.

Children, especially teenagers, are usually more technically advanced than some parents and often find ways to bypass various restrictions. In fact, the restrictions placed on websites are mostly just a formality. For children, this often looks more like a computer game, and unfortunately, they still lack the critical thinking needed to fully understand the consequences.

It is true, the restrictions imposed by gambling platforms do seem to be just a formality, that's why I think the government should be more assertive in enforcing its regulations regarding gambling. The government has the full authority to compel casinos to update their systems, making it difficult for underage children to make deposits. The government can also deploy financial institutions to monitor every transaction. I think all of this is easy to do because the government has the authority. Furthermore, parents are also responsible for guiding and educating their children, and should also limit their children smartphone usage.

Gambling ads are given for its promotion. This is a marketing strategy. And whether I participate in gambling or not will depend on me. If I get addicted to it or participate after seeing gambling advertisements, then I will understand that I do not have self- control.

Before participating in gambling , we must know what we are doing. Where are we investing our money. Personally I think we should not invest our money in gambling where winning or losing depends fully on luck. For this , I have chosen sports betting. It is possible to profit in the long run in sports  gambling if I am skillful.

Along with the spread of online gambling , we can also see the spread of gambling ads . And this is normal. If gambling is legal in my country, then where is the problem with advertising ? I do not see any problem in this. Rather, the country will be able to earn a large amount of revenue from gambling sites. But if gambling is illegal in your country, the state will take measures to stop advertising. There's no point in us worrying so much about this.

Platforms can't prevent users from registering for their services. All they can do is perform KYC. That's why many online casino platforms implement KYC. This is also part of a government-mandated effort to reduce underage users, as well as to prevent money laundering and other crimes. Similarly, third-party platforms can't handle ads if users provide false information, such as stating they're over 18. If ads end up appearing on the account of a user who is actually under 18, it's not the platform's fault, but rather the data they entered was false. Therefore, while governments and service providers can only anticipate this through regulations, the user is ultimately responsible for complying with or violating the regulations.

I don't believe further enforcing Know your Client on casinos will actually combat gambling among minors, not if it is done in the sake way it has been done untill now. Teens and children are not stupid and they are easily underestimated by adults, but they are very aware of ways to get the documents of their parents in order to fool the casino and continue to gamble and even withdraw money to private addresses.
The only way to stop gambling among the youth it would take casinos to enforce KYC in the same way exchanges do, using a live selfie camera to verify the identify of gambler real time after submitting their documents. Some casinos and regulators would be even further and activate the camera of devices randomly, for the sake of keeping children away from their games, only intended for adults.

The steps taken by the government in online casinos are not sufficient and it is also questionable whether it is possible for them to monitor it completely. A cell should be created through private organizations to increase surveillance and there should be a guideline on whether there are underage there and whether the casino developer are paying taxes to the government properly. The government of a country has to increase the source of income to meet its state expenses as a result of which they have to collect large taxes from casinos or gambling platforms so if their monitoring cell is stronger the government income will increase further. Personal responsibility should be on you in gambling and the responsibility of children should be taken by their parents, especially their smartphone use should be monitored regularly so that they do not get addicted.

Gambling companies should behave professionally and responsibly. If profits gamble company make are making their shareholders happy they must help poor people and children. If the companies invest some of their profit to help gamble addicts by funding rehab clinics it will help people in their communities.

Do you realize what audience the ads on Bitcointalk are actually targeting?
Yes, kids are (most likely) not here - it’s not really their format. So who then?

I think many Bitcoin holders see their coins as a kind of treasure. Very few are even willing to use Bitcoin to pay for goods and services. Can you really expect that Bitcoiners will hand over their savings just for the sake of gambling?

After all, we already get enough adrenaline when the price swings.

I'm not sure if it's possible to restrict ads on TV, reason is that ads comes with TV advertisements and the only way to stop gambling ads is to completely turn off the TV station from sports related shows. There is a way you can set a parental guide on TV stations that have sports ads. You can restrict them so that they don't see the particular tvs and even if they try to, it will ask them for password to access those TV stations, that's the only way to stop them.

Parents are the only person that can control the way children get addicted to their TV and smart phones. I don't think there is any place on the internet you don't see ads. Ordinary Google personalized ads for people to see so they can make money, it's literally what is the standard of the telecommunications company, it's your own responsibility to choose to see them or not allow them to show on your screen especially the annoying casinos that don't know when to stop.

Crypto gambling options are not limited to bitcoin alone, because in fact, many people still gamble with other alternative coins.

Currently, I still consider myself an investor because I am still investing in bitcoin, but for gambling, I also still use bitcoin for that purpose, although on some occasions I also use other options with altcoins or even stable coins in USDT, but it is still within the scope of crypto in the end.
On the other hand, not everyone here uses Bitcoin because, when observing some bets, we can see that they use BTC as the betting medium, and they feel quite comfortable with it, especially when there’s an increase in value, which adds to the quantity in terms of value. Therefore, not a few people also use Bitcoin for betting, even though your statement about Bitcoin being considered a treasure is not incorrect.

Actually based on my perspectives, you can also restrict gambling ads from your TV because parents normally set parental guidelines on TV's too, which means you can also block gambling ads from popping up on your TV's. If you are using a smart TV you can easily do it. Most people that uses decoder don't normally subscribe to channels that mostly shows adult scenes because of their children. If you live in a big house and you have kids, you don't have to subscribe to adult channels for their own TV and you can also set parental controls on their TV too.

Then you guys must be lucky actually because the kind of damages that gambling comes with is not something to joke with because a lot of people have lost everything and if you gain control early then i don't think anything should have an effect on them. And even me I don't think I have a problem with gambling platforms but they are always warning people to gamble responsibly and people think they have a shot against winning everytime they gamble so it is all on who ever thinks they can cross the limit. And it is gree so they are not forcing anyone to gamble so there choice actually but the only thing is that they should do it responsibly.

And I think it is started clearly that an underage are not allowed to gamble and parent to have a role to play in monitoring what ever there child is doing because it will be much more easier for them to know what ever they are doing but some careless parent don't even care which is very wrong they need to keep tabs.

I thought parental controls were only used to block channels or limit viewing by age, but not to skip any specific type of advertising. It's not like I've ever used parental controls (I never required them), but it would be nice if possible for those who have children at home and pay for a television service.

It's good to know; who knows, I might need them in the future, although I keep track of my bets by phone.

yeah ads by themselves do not turn someone into a gambler however they multiply the desire significantly. Most of the time you will find gambling advertisements leads to more attraction towards gambling, willingness to play & actual participation, particularly among young people & vulnerable populations. Moreover, there is a dose-response relationship according to which the more the ads, the greater is the risk.

source- TheGuardian
Just because of the promotions posted by influencers, children as young as 12 years have started saying that they view gambling as something cool & these ads also make gambling & taking risks socially acceptable.

I wanna say blaming people is completely unacceptable, because ads are not the only reason, but they are nonetheless, a social force that pushes us, especially in cases when we are exposed with them. And if these ads are somehow removed from public places, then many people would not even consider gambling, let alone getting hooked.

It is really unfortunate that underage people, kids are not protected from these ads because they could be manipulated into gambling through those ads. although kids are really influenced by what they see up close and so parents could be responsible too for an underage turning to a gambler because they have seen their parents gamble too and they may think it is a normal thing. Even with the ads everywhere on TV channels, billboards and on the internet I feel a child does what they have only seen their parents do, so if you want a responsible kid and you want to protect them from gambling, never let them see you gamble.

Gambling companies can invest some of their profit to help community people. If they help by paying for rehab clinics for people to recover from addiction and education classes to warn children about gambling dangers it is going to make a difference to lives. Gambling addiction is a threat anyone can suffer from.

Yes, I agree that there are people here who don’t use Bitcoin and instead use altcoins. But first of all, I think they make up a relatively small share of the forum’s overall user base. What’s the point for someone interested in altcoins to spend time on the oldest Bitcoin forum? And secondly, I believe that there are far more altcoin holders in completely different places: YouTube, Discord, Telegram chats, X. If advertisers were targeting that kind of audience, they wouldn’t come here.

You interrupted my other sentence because in the end we realize that even though not all gamblers on this forum use bitcoin, some of them use bitcoin as a betting medium.
On the other hand, for discussion forums, I think this will be a little different from gambling in the end, so even though not everyone plays using bitcoin as a betting tool, in the end there are no restrictions or prohibitions for those who want to discuss.
This forum is free, even though we know that Bitcoin is one of the main focuses, but that doesn't mean we eliminate other discussions because everyone has their own interests in other things, and that is a form of expression.

Gambling using Bitcoin or altcoins on crypto gambling sites is not a problem, nor is discussing it here, because the forum is essentially free as long as it follows the rules. Therefore, I believe that as long as we do not violate the established rules, this forum is for everyone who wants to discuss.

Yes, there is no doubt , TV will always be TV and its Impact will be profound Wherever it is given, for me it is the first means of Transmission that is most accepted by Volumes of people , of course I know that social networks like TikTok, Meta, Instagram are of Great Help , Especially for the younger Generations.

Indeed, and it's become normal in terms of seeing those kinds of ads in national TV and any forms of social medias which gave gambling a wider venue to promotes their business, and we seen the outcome the numbers of new casinos are keep on popping and those casino owners are really investing with their advertisement to gain more traffics then convert them to possible profits once those visits becomes patrons and start throwing their money.

While I may not fully understand how powerful advertising can be on our minds, if promoters are investing millions of dollars in advertising that literally takes up a few seconds on YouTube or TV, I am willing to believe that it is profitable for them.
And even if gambling or betting advertising may seem too bright or somewhat naive, it is still done by people who have studied analytics and design well, as well as how to attract the attention of the audience, which means that this advertising really works.

They are spending millions of dollars on ads to make going to a casino look cool. People do not know how the mind is affected by tv and social media ads. They spend to promote gambling because they know they will get it back because gamblers will always lose more than they win.

It's not bad, things when it comes to giving Greater Visibility to a casino, gambling is not bad because it is free marketing, in fact it should Always be that way , it is up to the people and players to play responsibly and not think or Stop thinking that casinos , games of chance are harmful.

If we look at this critically we can't really blame the casino for advertising because that's a way of expanding their business. It's the responsibility of the parents to guide their kids and protect them from informations that they don't need.  As for those that are mature it's easy not to get influenced by these ads, if you don't want to gamble and if you are not an active gambler all you have to do is to avoid it

I see your point, though there's still a big impact whenever you see advertisement regarding to a certain products right? Just the same with what ads brings to the gambling industry even those who are not really familiar with it but once they've seen ads regarding to a certain casino the attention really attracts them, I know and I fully understand that it's the person who needs to control themselves but without any knowledge, it will lessen the chance that a person will engage.

I agree with this. As parents, they should be able to protect their children not just from gambling, but from other things as well. We know that children today are vulnerable to many things, including stealing, fighting, and more. However, we shouldn't place all the blame on the casino. When someone decides to start gambling, they also need to take responsibility and learn to control themselves.

Parents must shield their children from gambling and other things as well. If they do not act in a good way for their children they are not good parents. Parents have to be responsible for giving their children safety.
