Should gambling ads be normalized?

[bubilas]

I was very surprised when I saw gambling advertising in my mobile application, where I keep track of all expenses and income, and I have a feeling that it is very appropriate there, because I was thinking about what expenses I can cut and what income I could still come up with to replenish my family budget more. And in fact, this online casino advertising acts as if it offers such a "gambling" way to replenish the family budget.
And this is the case when advertising is appropriate, because when I watch videos on websites, the advertising that pops up there suddenly looks completely inappropriate and only causes irritation.

I also get very irritated by casino advertising in places on the Internet where it is inappropriate. For example, when I read an article about investments, for some reason an annoying online casino ad appears on a quarter of the window, and at first there is no cross that I can click to close it.
And when I was once again irritated by such advertising, I told myself that I would rather not go to the site of such advertising because of such a display of disrespect towards me.

There should be a specific audience or target, but as i can see even the young saw gambling ads, there should be a specific target, like if the user is under age, he/she should not see any gambling ads, only the adult should see it, when it comes to tv commercials we cant do anything to set those rules, but it is better for the gambling ads to be put on a place where children are less visible that is just my opinion.

Yes you are right but the owners of the casino will never want they get less user. At present we have read in a situation, wherever you go, you will see Casino's ad. However, such ads are most commonly played, as they sponsored there. In this case, as much as we can say from us, the present generation is very damaged. Because most of the children at the present time enjoy all kinds of games and it will certainly notice them. And if the children are attracted to gambling from it, then their life will end before they begin. These situations are beyond our control, so we all should always take care of our children. Because they cannot be attracted to any bad side.

That's really annoying. What's even more concerning is that these ads suddenly pop up on social media platforms that are used by many children and teenagers,
who then see online gambling casino ads.

Sometimes I wonder why some social media platforms allow this. They know that many platforms like Facebook have viewers who are mostly minors.
It's frustrating and worrying.

I join the hypocrisy and I'm going to be in favor of more strict regulations on gambling ads, while wearing one myself in my signature (and avatar).

I live in a country where, as some of you said before, advertising ads are regulated, and I think that it is indispensable to set some limits because the contrary could lead to a dystopian future where many young and mentally weak people could blindly gamble being unaware of the consequences of their bad decisions.

But not only with gambling: I think that there must be rules for advertising in general. Because there is little to no difference between ad bombing of gambling, exchanges, fast food, alcohol, or even ideology, unless the corresponding industries are able to self-control at least.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Every business needs ads to expand, if they don't reach out and create an awareness a lot of people won't get involved in it. Gambling ads are already normal but during sports games it's not really appropriate because these are games that are being viewed by different categories of people including children as well. Gambling ads shouldn't be shown when sports games is going on for the sake of those that might not be mentally mature

There are other means in which they (the casinos) can still use for their ads and they will still go viral but running those ads during matches can have negative impact in the life of underage kids watching the match too. At least there should be a level of control on how they do the promotion and not as frequent as it is always done.

Any type of sport will certainly expect gambling to provide financial benefits in terms of sponsorship, which will of course be a great advantage if cooperation is established, and the fact that there is currently a lot of sponsorship for gambling in sports is proof of this. On the other hand, gambling also benefits from this arrangement, as commercial interests are paramount. Whether one likes it or not, gambling cannot be separated from sports at this point, as they now seem to be benefiting from a mutually beneficial symbiosis.

You see gambling (online casinos), all sports games, sports channels, big brands, and media stations are inclusively cooperating together. They work hand in hand to make the sports entertainment industry grow and make money. Not that they cant do without one another, but the cooperation pushed for more awareness and promotes them to the general public. In the end, they both benefit based on the agreement in the written documents.

I think it makes a lot of sense for gambling advertisements to be present at sporting events. It is their demographic after all. I would imagine they would be willing to pay the highest advertising rates, so in a free market they would obviously have the advertising space. I’m not sure how much damage gambling does though to have a proper opinion on whether or not casinos prey on people.

[WhoYouCantKill]

I am of a different view, gambling ads should not be made normal while sport matches are on. Reason being that the game is meant to bring entertainment to the viewers which includes kids and even the vulnerable, therefore constantly advertising may break the fun and entertainment. Sure there should be ads, yet such should be in the limits and entirely outside the game of sports.

For some reason, it is natural that we love associations, and therefore, if we see some very good phenomenon and at this time, for example, hear some music, then this music will be associated with this phenomenon.
And the same applies to gambling, if we see some sporting event, where everyone is happy and the air is filled with the spirit of cheerful struggle, then if we are shown an advertisement at this time for a casino or sports betting, then we will begin to associate betting or a casino with a very cheerful excellent pastime.

That's true, I've noticed the same thing. Even in the games downloaded from the Play Store, like in the Roblox games my child plays, ads suddenly pop up. Sometimes there are casino gambling ads that appear. While other ads also show up, there are times when casino gambling ads come through on his device.

This is something they should remove from these types of games that are often played by minor children. They should only put these ads on the proper platforms and not on social media or game platforms that have many minors using them.

It seems to me that bookmaker promoters, as well as casinos, would like advertising to completely fill sporting events, not only during breaks in the form of videos (and shown very often), but also on the edges of sports fields, as we often see. And it’s a shame that they often don’t care at all that sporting events are watched not only by mentally strong people, but also by children or the elderly, on whom advertising has a stronger impact.

[SuperBitMan]

As long as they are other ads that shows when sports is going on then gambling ads should also show when sports is going on, some people feel that gambling is harmful to human however forgetting that soda and other things are also harmful to human but they are being used as ads in sport, we must understand that gambling was created for fun and people started using it for money making and from there they start becoming addicted to gambling and some of them started selling there properties and stealing just to gamble because of There selfish interest so should we totally call gamble a crime because some set of people are using it in the wrong way in our society the answer is no because they are still some people who are gambling just for the fun of it and not for money making.
So gambling ads should be shown or normalized when sports are going on because they can use it to have more sport fun, some people have more fun when they bet on the particular match and then they are watching it.

That's what's happening now and we can't make it seem like it's something that's hard to accept because gambling and sports are not new now that we know that since the modern era has become more widespread, gambling sites and sports seem to be inseparable.

We know that there may be some things that are sometimes difficult to accept especially since sports are universal where not only the elderly are the audience but also children but indeed on the other hand we also cannot prohibit the cooperation of sports and gambling clubs because they have a huge advantage over this so now the point is that if you talk about the risks of gambling addiction, this kind of advertisement will not have an effect if those who see it know the risks and limits except maybe for those and children who already have a slightly less reliable mentality.
