If gambling commercials were to be removed from Tv because I know in Internet is more difficult to do that would lower the rate of addicted gamblers.
Even I that I am a casual gambler when I see ads on Tv about gambling , I have an internal urge to place a bet in my online gambling sites. Limiting the damage is a first step toward saving a few gambling addicts.
Perhaps, that will reduce the addicted gamblers temporary but as you know, right now every people can access the internet with easy, and I am sure they often see a gambling commercial. It would make them curious, and in the end, they will try like a new player who came to the gambling site.
Limiting the damage will work properly if the gamblers have a will to leave the gambling site or real casino as we know that the loss will happen with those gamblers. It is our jobs to control our mind to come to the gambling places, and we need prevent before it's too late to leave the gambling.
