Spain bans betting adds - no celebrities, no sport sponsorship, no daytime adds

key thing is: bad for who?
not for bitcointalk signature campaigns if Spain gambling business end up coming online

in the end I think its good to have some regulation on the kind of publicity we allow on media, specially for young people

Brazil could definitely benefit for having less ads about beer and alcohol...
we don't have gambling ads here

idk...

Of course for the gambling businesses, businesses need to stay relevant so they do advertising and sponsorship to place their name on where the public can see it while watching their favorite sports.

just adding some other points to the discussion
on places drugs are forbidden you don't see any ads about drugs on television, radio or whatever, pretty sure that even places with lighter regulations still don't have massive ad campaigns on that

I understand we need ads to feed the "passion for products" and I know from experience that they work

but not all industries need ads

the example of the drug market is a good one because people don't need television or internet ads, it just sells

I don't think it's a relevant comparison because gambling is not a prohibited activity like selling and using drugs. At least in democratic countries, then I think gambling operators should be free to promote their offers and people should be free to accept them or to refuse them.

I don't think so, every product definitely needs advertising so that they can be known by everyone. But in this case, the advertisement has several types of gambling advertisements, drug products, and also all that have the aim of being known. There are direct ads and indirect ads. You have to think about this carefully because advertising is one of the most important factors in expanding your network.
