Gambling advertising monitored closely

[_decentralise]

They can make more money doing this, these designs are made to appeal for young and adults, we all know we are attracted to attractive covers and logos and by designing something that is illuminated and appealing they can get more young adults markets and more profits I call this exploitation and profit generation scheme. 

It's not just the bells and whistles that entice a user (young or old) to play and gamble, rather it's the ease of use coupled with the rush of winning (bells and whistles).

A child doesn't realise the repocussions of loosing money as they haven't "earned" it as true wages.

I couldn't agree more with both these points. I think the UK national lottery gets away with it a bit because of all the charitable work it does but I saw it day in day out damaging people.

I wonder, if scratchcards went the same way as cigarettes and had to be all one color with no attempt to lure the customer in, and couldn't have the fancy stands and had to be served from under the counter how this would affect sales.

Similarly national lottery adverts on television. It's hard to quantify how very difficult it actually is to win any life changing money but the adverts are always a man on a yatch and a "it could be you" message.

If they had to demonstrate what 14,000,000/1 really is I think people might second guess the decisions.

Advertisements are actually made to trap the people to use their service so those gambling sites gone bit extreme and tried to attract the underage people.Well a reputed gambling site can easily defend even if there is a lawsuit made against them with their money power so governments should bring strict regulations for advertisements as well if they really don't want such kind of ads which attract kids.

The Case here is that the target players ,it doesn't care if they lure all the gamblers in the world but the thing is there are Kids that being attracted over internet and they are the Most concern here .

Maybe regulations is one best need here.

If a kid or an adult gamble the only aim of a gambling owner is to make profits just like every other business owner.Regulations may put an end for creating such gambling ads but on the internet surely kids are seeing more pop-ups which are here for only adults even though the ad blocker is enabled so once we entered into internet world there is no actual barrier other than self control even if the user is a kid.

I don't know the basis of their idea to use these things in their advertisement. They did say that they are aiming for 18 and above gamblers but will they be really attracted to stuffed animals? Obviously, even if they put it for adult viewers, Facebook can't actually filter those younger users. There are a lot of kids that could make accounts with the age of 18 and above which can make them see these advertisements. Not just these ads but other adult ads as well.

Creating a gambling advertisement using a stuffed animal can have many meanings. But from my point of view, they are indirectly targeting people who are under 18 years of age. All types of businesses have a goal of making a profit, right, even many businesses do not care how, good or not as long as it makes a profit, why not? Need some evidence to corroborate my statement, but logically it all makes sense, right?

But  in every country there's really  a sector which do really prohibits out this kind of adverts specially if it do really go overboard and really involves not right contents that should really be shown publicly.

Advertisements shouldnt really be a deceiving one and should really mind of on who would able to watch it.If it does affect young people or not, they are just trying to harm out those
minds which arent really that a gambler specially the young ones.

Monitoring is a must and they shouldnt really let it pass for those kind of ads.

Obviously they are targeting, and the authorities are quick to take action, if they continue to do this they can be charge with corrupting the minor, these gambling companies are profit oriented they are already making huge profits from adult gamblers and they want to extend this to young people who will think that they are welcome to gamble on the gambling sites because of those advertising materials.

But children are already playing immoral games like violent and sexual video games. Why they shouldn't be allowed to gamble with worthless digital currencies like Testnet BTCitcoins for example? (Some platforms allow to play with those worthless coins like Bitmex for example)

No matter which way, these youngsters are really exposed into those things that we are facing up on this moment due to hi-tech progression over the years.
As a parent, no matter how strict you are, these kids will really be exposed into things which arent supposed to be experience nor see by them.
If the state do allow these kind of advertisements then as a parent then you should really be  aware and you can able to avoid them in this circumstances.

This seems to be good, but for sure it'll have back effects. Right now we support to gamble with testnet coins just to deviate them from violence and sexual games. When we turn them towards gambling, later even if they try to come out it'll be a big task for them. Let the child enjoy playing different games and if something is found bad we need to give proper guidance which is the best way than turning them towards gambling.

I don't think it's fair to draw children's attention to gambling with such advertising, there should be some restrictions. No one advertises to children about hunting animals or birds, and this, too, is quite a gambling hobby...

But in real life, some kids hunting animals or birds, and they count how many of the animals or birds that they can catch, and the kids who can get more than the other is a winner, so they can do anything for their friends. Perhaps, that is not a gamble in real situations, but I think that still gamble because they will try to get as many as possible to get a reward at the end of the hunt. It is not easy to tell children's not to try to gamble because when they have many friends out there, and they can social better, the chance for them to gamble will be there, and the parents must concern about how to take care of their children.

But what if they are not actually aiming for these underage people.

I think that's what happened. I think they are not actually aiming for these children to see the advertisement. In fact, if you will be reading the articles posted by the OP, it said that

The paid-for Facebook post was on a page only adult users can view.

meaning they are not actually aiming for them. If we will be talking about regulations, that would be hard since we are talking about Facebook here putting that ad on adult's ads but still viewed by these teenagers.

Maybe they were not, but a stuffed animals is automatically attractive to underage people, mostly to children who's age are 5-10 years old. Also there's nothing impossible to youngsters these days, they can even watch anything on YouTube, even in google, they are technically smart when it comes to technology since they were born in this Era. So the greatest precaution that could be done is to banned that kind of advertisement to prevent any kids getting into gambling at a very young age.

That is so true.

It is also great that they've quickly found this advertisement too on Facebook and quickly remove it for the safety of those underage people that might've seen it. Young people in this era are very resourceful so it is true that when it comes to things they needed, they could just look it up the internet but that could lead them to these kinds of advertisements.

There is no one to blame here though since we can't just stop these sites from accepting these payments in these platforms or applications. I just hope some ISPs and some parents could filter some sites so that some of these underage people won't be able to see advertisements with adult content. That is one of the dangers of the internet to these young people.

I just couldn't help but think about the risks that the child or kid may hit a bottom once an ads pop on their social media feeds. I just couldn't think precisely what should we suggest to be able to blocked those advertisements once a gadget user was a child or minor. This could be a great factor that the government should be bare in mind but the most factor was the guidance of the parents should always be there a 100%. It is true that there is no actual barrier.

Undoubtedly, the development of the child to become socially significant and active, communicative is very important! But this is not a child's occupation to hunt. In my country it is not accepted to take children to hunting, of course this is not a constant, but usually they do not do so because hunting is cruelty. And I do not think that a good parent wants to raise their child to become violent

Social media too have certain terms and policies for advertising ads so they can advert different kind of ads for the targeted audience. Well no one is giving their accurate age even some apps don't let the minor to register so they simply choose random year then register this becomes the root cause for such adult content ads to a minor.

[jostorres]

I blame the marketing agency of that platform for that blunder. It could have been easily prevented had they tried to not make it appeal ‘cute’ and just get straight with what they can offer. There are always certain images and figures to which the youngsters will find appealing and will try, and it’s actually a fair ruling considering that children are exposed to gambling whether they like it or not due to these ‘subtleties’ being shown on some of the ads. Perhaps stick to the generalized image of gambling and make a play on what elements would they include in their ads.

Actually gambling sites want such players because they benefit a lot from underage and addicted players and they always have the option to ask identity proofs once the player is able to win big so casinos would never want to stop such advertising and would want as many players as they can get. The advertising agency needs to ensure that they are not promoting something which may lead to illegal involvement so I blame it on them too.

I am not blaming stake.com at all but I was watching a stream of Dktruman and there I see the lucrative offer of $7 free if you join through him and I am not sure but a lot of kids might get lured into such offers so I don't know how to put it, but indeed advertising in some places might bring underage gamblers to the platform.

Its only in China I hear they verify people online quite often.   Otherwise its quite an open standard whether there's age restriction or not and of course there is various ways to bypass most of the conventential measures.   You could argue the more complicated it gets the more likely you are dealing with older children and teenagers at that point so it does serve some purpose in the attempts to restrict.

[_decentralise]

The more this thread goes the more I think and the more I start to think television advertising and youtube advertising should be banned. I don't think it's something people need to be encouraged to do. If people want to gamble I have no issues and if they want to sign up for a daily list of promotions etc I couldn't argue with that.
