ASA to host gambling advertising webinar

[ultrloa]

It's a good and helpful initiative because what we need for the youth is the awareness for them to avoid or get rid of gambling addiction. Since we're on the pandemic situation, webinars would  be a big help to enlighten everyone about the risks of too much gambling. I hope that more organizations would have the initiative to do things like this.

The awareness will start at home since how could young people avoid gambling if he's environment is engage with and even his family are doing this, but this is still a good initiative done by them since it can really increase the awareness and can help other people to get enlightenment about what will be the scenario they can expect on gambling. And what are those thing need to consider to avoid getting wreck or became addict to those games offered by a casino.

It seems the regulator is aware and concern with the increasing number of new gamblers, especially young people who engage in the gambling industry. That will not yet include kids who are trying to access gambling games using their gadgets. As Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the UK’s independent advertising regulator, will host a webinar for the gambling industry on Tuesday, 28 September.

That webinar will discuss gambling advertising, including scheduling and financial claims, hoping to control the gambling ads that can make children, young persons, or other vulnerable persons want to play gambling.

Maybe there will be a change in schedule for the gambling operators to show their ads in the media so those people will not watch too often and do not make them curious about gambling.

I tend to agree with the regulator in protecting those people because it is easy to make people try something that makes them curious and let them stay for a long time.

So what is your opinion about this? If that webinar is not followed up, I am not sure if that discussion will work and will have a new rule to control the gambling ads.

Casinos has to follow the regulation if anything is getting implemented for the purpose of saving the society but don't expect them to take the complete responsibility for everything and by the way they too have rules which allows only people from certain age and above can use their service but only the people are abusing it and getting affected in long term.

Awareness isn't enough, as an adult member of our society, we also need to be vigilant and at the same time responsible for what our kid does so that they won't be exposed to gambling in the first place, no matter how many organizations preach about this kind of thing if it's all talk and no walk, we won't see any difference.

Any movement or effort that addresses the problem on addiction on gambling, especially that if focuses on the youth, is well appreciated and taken. Anything that provides forum that increases awareness is definitely beneficial in the long-run. It goes to show that there are people who cater for people who are suffering from this type of addiction. That is why, anything that increases awareness is beneficial to the problem of gambling.

I do hope that despite its avenue, people would attend it and not take it for granted.

It is a very interesting seminar, there is currently a worldwide issue about Gambling advertising, they want to restrict it and even ban it, the case of India, the bill for the prohibition of Casinos and Games of Chance that is well advanced.

“On a general level, gambling ads must not portray, condone or encourage behaviour that could lead to financial, social, or emotional harm. This includes encouraging consumers to continue gambling after a loss, implying that consumers can excel in poker without previous experience and emphasising the buzz consumers may feel while gambling,” a statement from the ASA read.

Everything that is to raise awareness about casino advertising and sports betting, in the world you cannot go against advances, advertising will always exist and more if behind this there is a great business model.

I know that this webinar is a great initiative. But still controlling the attitude of the individual in order to be able to control to avoid gambling is very difficult. This is based on the privacy of each other's interests. Except the webinar doesn't just talk but at the end of the season doesn't make an offer that young people don't like. I hope this webinar is successful in accordance with the organizers' goals and can have an impact in a positive direction.

This is the right way to go about this, Spain banned gambling ads while UK wants to reduce the impact they can have by talking with the operators and probably introducing some common sense rules to combat this, the gambling industry is huge in the UK so to try to forbid ads or something like that is simply unfeasible so this is the most likely reason for the difference in the approaches of both governments, but even yet I hope a compromise can be reached in which the gambling operators can still advertise themselves but they do so in a responsible manner.

That's the purpose, to make those gamblers realized and understand the post-effect of doing gambling.

The success of that purpose is not only thru that webinar but on how gamblers will help themselves to reach the status of being a responsible gambler. It's totally not wrong to do gambling and taking it as a habit as long as a person knows their boundary and limits.

In other words, a responsible one. It will take time for a person to be like that in gambling but at least, it will happen soon.

[sikke]

This sort of response from regulators is completely expected.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do something like completely shut down affiliate marketing when it comes to gambling altogether.

Which is fair enough, I think that there are certain merits to putting out a blanket ban like this. Hopefully there aren't too many knee-jerk reactions though.

Based from what I read about this webinar, this is actually focused on entities who produced and monitor gambling advertisements.
So this activity is to showcase on how to keep track of these gambling ads and if they are producing the right ads.
With this initiative, we expect that these producers or those who monitor know exactly what to look out for and flag down ads which violate their protocols.
It may help in the gambler's perspective because sometimes ads are overemphasizing too-good-to-be-true winnings.

But at least they do make out some actions which is in related on this matter but somehow speaking of getting rid of it would really be impossible because due to accessibility and internet connection then its impossible

to completely stop or wont able to engage from it and speaking with young kids or people who arent still mature would really be exposed on this one.Its still a good initiative kind of act though
even though majority of people doesnt really mind off or wont really care at all because they do know that it wont really make any changes.

For young people good gambling addiction leads them to destruction obstacles to growth this will make them aware of gambling but to recover from gambling addiction or problem gambling you find yourself surrounded by people to whom you are responsible, avoiding tempting environments and websites. It will be possible to control everything quickly through this organization.

[Twinkledoe]

They should do it annually and the organizers should update the condition and situation of the gambling industry and the harm it can do to the innocent, like children, it should not all be about making money but educating people on how to gamble responsibly, cutting their losses and protecting the children from unwanted ads, it's a good step gambling has been looked up as bad by many people.

Maybe they are trying to reduce the effect of gambling on citizens especially to those people who bypassed the terms in gambling harming themselves with the understanding of the effect. Gambling Education should be a prerequisite for the government in the prevention of access gambling which can have great effect on the citizens.

I believe this webinar are for creators or producers of the gambling ads. So it is like things to watch out for or things to abide while creating gambling ads. This is maybe to avoid deception from public. Because usually, we can see ads that are misleading like overwhelming winnings or of that sort, which is very rare to happen in real life.

Hopefully, young people addicted to gambling can solve the problem and get full support from the organization that gives help to addicted people to gambling. But it is hard to admit the addiction to gambling, especially for people who do not have anyone besides them.

That webinar can help limit the ads of gambling in media and with awareness from the gambling operators, the regulator program to reduce the number of gamblers can happen. But that needs awareness too from the gamblers that they have a problem in gambling so both sides can work together to solve the problem.

Having an organization that supports the solution to a gambling addiction problem is a big help to those who are currently diagnosis themselves as gambling addict. Though committing to a gambling addiction is a self choice but treating this kind of problem needs some support for a gambler to overcome the addiction. It's amazing to know that there's this kind of organization wanted to properly regulate gambling adds and trying to limit or eliminate engagement of young people to this kind of activities.

Which is fair enough, I think that there are certain merits to putting out a blanket ban like this. Hopefully there aren't too many knee-jerk reactions though.

I see it differently, I understand that there are things and behaviors that need a blanket ban, for example there are drugs that are so addictive that a single usage is more than enough to make someone an addicted person, so in such cases a blanket ban regarding its production, distribution and marketing makes sense, but gambling is not like that, which means that while people do get addicted to it such a blanket ban is completely over the top and unnecessary.

With many parties support, that event can give many addicted gamblers a second chance to live normally like other people. Those addicted gamblers need to be push and give awareness that every person deserves to get that chance and get help from other people. Together, they can solve the addiction problem and those people who are addicted can solve their problem and hopefully, when they come back home, they are reborn as new people with a new mind that they can help other people who have the same problem like them.

How did the webinar go? Has anyone here have joined the webinar to participate? I'm a bit curious what they've talked about because I don't believe in awareness campaigns like this one since it's not effective as those organizers think they be.

So what is your opinion about this? If that webinar is not followed up, I am not sure if that discussion will work and will have a new rule to control the gambling ads.

I think those guidelines are relevant and gambling operators should follow them if they don't want to be seen as unethical, irresponsible and greedy. If operators keep a responsible behavior then there will be no need for a new legal framework.

“On a general level, gambling ads must not portray, condone or encourage behaviour that could lead to financial, social, or emotional harm. This includes encouraging consumers to continue gambling after a loss, implying that consumers can excel in poker without previous experience and emphasising the buzz consumers may feel while gambling,” a statement from the ASA read.

“Amongst other rules, gambling ads must not exploit the susceptibilities, aspirations, credulity, inexperience or lack of knowledge of children, young persons or other vulnerable persons.”

An ASA spokesperson said: “It's vital for gambling operators to understand what they can and can't say in ads.
