Another New Rule On Gambling Adverts Ban Celebrities and Sports Stars

[leea-1334]

It does not seem clear to me what this new rule mean. It does not seem to be a ban on using sports personalities,,, just to not let them target Under 18s (which for me is a very very fair rule).

Role models like it or not live in a different time,,, but they can post their half naked bodies on IG and Under18s can see that easily (or use Google on their own of course).

This people are creating different rules just to jeopardize our passion but who cares about it. I think they are trying to reduce the influence of sport celebrities on teenagers and gambling addicts. The rule are meant to target gambling platform with bigger restrictions from using the influence of celebrities to lure innocent children, maybe adults too from becoming gambling addictive.
That's a good try though!

No the rules are clearly to protect under18s,,, not gambling addicts Not adults as they are responsible for their own decisions.

Of course there are also exceptions as I have met very mature children and myself,,, probably was still immature in my 20s as I remember ICO days hehe, but anyway moot point. Rules are rules and people voted for their governments.

They dont really have any choice but to deal on what their government had set upon and if it turns out that this would be implemented out strictly then there's nothing that they could do.

Its clear that this rule or law does really tend to protect the youth or minors which usually does have already some idols which it would be understandable on the chances for them
to get involved once they've seen things which is attached to gambling.So i do say that it is really just not a bad idea to impose such laws.

The intentions behind the rule seem to be clear however it is the implementation of the rule that is going to be difficult to put into practice, after all there is not really a mention of what it means to be too popular with the people that are younger than 18 years old, does this means that a certain percentage needs to be reached for an athlete to be banned from promoting casinos, does it needs to be the majority group among his fans or will they use some other metric to determine this?

There are some gambling websites that offer free exchanges at their disposal where you can quickly convert your cryptocurrencies to fiat; and the other way around.

You are right and I have sen it on bitsler too and I have used that service as well. But when I used the service for converting cryptocurrency to fiat I noticed that they are charging me about 10% or more as a convert charge while we can use from converter site/exchange site is to lower than this amount. Though there might have only few gambling site who may convert for free.                                                                                                                                                     

This kind of feature makes their users feel that its convenient to use their platform because they have already an integrated feature of swapping their coins but only a few platform I saw this kind of feature but mostly expensive when they use it to exchange but still it's convenient i guess the same fee too if they convert and deposit, also most of the people use this feature just to prevent having too much high fees.

Whenever a casino offers a feature out of convenience it is purely designed for them to funnel more money into the casino. As this sort of feature relies on having traditional banking network connections (if allowing them to exchange fiat into crypto instantly) then there are likely to be larger fees than normal, because casinos and crypto related businesses would be considered extremely high risk so any third party will naturally charge more to take on such risk or they might just use a white label type crypto exchange who will stay disguised in the background but charge equally high fees. Basically, the casinos are not necessarily benefiting outside of removing a barrier to customers wanting to deposit fiat currency, as those high charges are likely taken by other companies.

It will be difficult if the parents will allow their children to be involve on gambling, the efforts of government will just be wasted to combat gambling if there household will not care about what their children's doing. Maybe this implementation about banning celebrities will be effective on some point knowing how huge the influence they have but this will not stop if there's no cooperation by certain individuals.

There would be indeed other factors which would really be needed for this initiative to be that effective and its true that parents would be having a role on this one because laws and prohibitions wont really
be that much effective or would be significant if the other side doesnt really do their responsibility specially on parenting which it is totally true.
Banning wont be that effective but just like on what others been saying that this is a good initiative.

This is why discipline starts from home and other important life lessons. If you will instill the importance of money and how you can use it appropriately, they will always remember it wherever they go. They may try some things from time to time, but if they have instilled such good virtue and discipline, it will come naturally wherever they go in life. Thus, parents or guardians has vital role in molding their kids here.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

At that age of 18yrs below, what on earth should a teenager be gambling for? Because there are so many annoying things and this is one of them because gambling has this addictive nature that if care is not taken can ruin your life. So at that age below 18yrs, you have your dads and mum providing all your needs, so what do you need money for again to gamble?

A kid should be thinking about how to build a successful career to be a better person tomorrow by studying hard, making research, and working on team projects in school.

So celebrities will always remain celebrities, and they are the only people who have got the most fan base, which can run an advertisement that actually converts into sales. So it will be very hard to exclude celebrities totally by the management board of casino, but I'm sure they should have a plan "B" which I'm yet to know compared  to a very popular football celebrity like Christiana Ronaldo who has over 200 million followers on Instagram

But honestly and really,,, so what if it becomes a blanket ban, right? What on earth do we lose if our favorite crypto brand in gambling cannot be associated with our favorite star or athlete? What do we lose? Are we less happy? Are our lives less enriched?

If I was an Arsenal fan,,, and I am so not. I would be so so happy if I saw my favorite sports casino on the jersey (which they are). I would probably be even happier if my favorite player had an exclusive deal.

But if suddenly he could not.

I would not be pissed or angry or sad. He is still my favorite player and my favorite casino is still my favorite.

And the price,,, protection of underaged kids from too early exposure to casino.

I think this is great!

[bitterguy28]

I find it really funny, IDK why but internet is so simple these days and youngsters are so developed that they are always one step ahead of us. Don't take me in wrong way but children are very smart now and no matter what you do to stop such advertisement they pop in somehow.

But at least we still trying our ways to stop or at lessen the chances of them to become addicted .

Do you know when you are on single wifi connection in house and somebody watches or searches a keyword then anyone connected to that network will start receiving the advertisement automatically because sometime ads are IP tracked and they release on every device that's connected.

Let the ads come , but we as parent will try our best to help  them understand the consequences of being a gambler at young age?

We have made simple accessible universe for ourselves but at the same time we have made complex optimisation process.

I think branding is different stuff, they should focus on the ad media networks logics.

Let them do their best and you? try to contribute also because it will come to your door in the future.

Ideally, at that tender age of 18yrs and below, it's not good for a child to be gambling, because gambling has this addictive nature that if care is not taken can ruin your life. So at that age what a kid should be thinking about is how to build his career to be a better person tomorrow.

And secondly, i wonder how casinos  will now be able to run a successful ads campaign with this new policy
 without a popularly known face, because celebrities are known faces

and that's why we must help the community in cleaning what we think will lead young people into Gambling .

This is so true - Kid start their first lesson from home. The kind of atmosphere they get from their home makes their personality.
likewise parental control is that important as well. I think check and balance is important and its not something which should be cursed or criticized, I am not sure about other countries but in our country patents have a stock check and balance over their kids.

You are right the rules has been created only to protect under age (below 18) so that they cant be misguided. And no gambler will face any problem/issue except the people whose age is under 18, and it is the perfect  rule I think to avoid premature people.

Ronaldo is a role model to many kids and seeing him in gambling advert my draw strong interest the kid in gambling which can lead to addiction since their you and can guide their emotions most times, so to me, the ban is not a bad idea since it targets on child protection it all good despite its negative effect on the store and the gambling sites that want to use them to promote the product. But the part I don't understand in the article is where it mentions that they are not allowed to promote any product, is it that they are banned from all forms. of promotions or just gambling promotions?

Exactly we need to prevent them from being addicted to gambling or even not playing gambling because they are still kids. This is actually the role of the parents themselves who are responsible for the children, how they can give any attention to their life and also activities although the parents are super busy. But at least, paying attention to the activities, giving understanding about the risks of gambling, and giving advice not to play gambling because of some reasons, will be actually the first thing to do.
Because we know that even if government or regulations bans advertisements related to gambling, there will be always the ways the promotions online, in the game online, and also other advertisements.

Parenting does really play a big role for their kids to be aware on how gambling do works and how addiction could possibly affect them.Its true that its one of the main factors and one of the things should be blamed

out if their kids do really get involved with gambling on early ages.If government do decide to make out some ban or prohibition on related about celebrity advertisement then it isnt really that a bad gesture.

Casinos/Gambling companies would be still finding ways on how they would really be doing  some effective market without touching these fellas.

These days the social media is accessible everywhere on computers and mobile. In the Past, then there were only televisions and print media, parents could have control their children to access these media so kids do not learn about the gambling or see gambling ads. But since the social media is popular, its impossible to control the kids.
Now its the sole responsibility of the parents to keep a strict eye on small children so that they do not access the gambling sites and also do not see those attractive gambling ads.

[adzino]

They have their reason and yeah, they are right in this case. Kids and teenagers see those celebrities and sport stars very highly and tend to follow what they do. If they see them promoting casinos and gambling, they will believe that gambling is a normal thing to do everyday and it might affect their future. They might want to try and play in casinos just to experiment out of curiosity. This curiosity could end up making them a gambling addict.

[mm2543363580]

I have no idea what you are talking about. I am talking about role models influencing people who are not old enough to vote,,, therefore not able to make their own rational decisions. I agree we cannot show them gambling ads, but at the same time we are showing them nudity-for-money.

Kids are so smart these days- and parents are too busy that sometime they miss what is going on with their kids or maybe sometime they trust their kids so much that it is hard to believe that they would go wrong somewhere. But one both the end there is something wrong both the parties do ie kids and their parents.

There is some software that can also block websites with questionable content for children, but the number of internet websites is so massive that even with something like this there is no guarantee that children will not end up seeing something that they should not, and even if those filters were 100% effective most parents do not activate something like this on the phones and computers of their children, allowing them to eventually watch such content no matter what a responsible parent does to try to avoid this.

Even though there are software available but then again kids are very smart. They would check whatever they want to through friends phone or cousin phone. I have almost 4 devices per person in my house. When we are not controlling our selves how would we control our kids.
