Ads for online gambling should be banned.

[Josefjix]

But as for gambling, there are a lot of government around the world is that totally against it. So maybe we can't see those ads anymore or anywhere. As compare to smoking and cigarette ads that are everywhere and even minors have access to it.

In some countries, smoking cigarettes is permitted, yet in others, it is considered abusive and strictly outlawed. Gambling does not send a pure message to the public; rather, it is used in a wicked manner to transmit a contrary positive viewpoint message to individuals, who get more inquisitive to place a wager in order to benefit from specific advantageous elements implemented in the gambling system. Ads for online gambling are another source that spreads gambling awareness to the public; imposing a tight prohibition on these online ads will benefit society by lowering threats, pending debts, and saving innumerable gamblers from liquidating their accounts.

Why should they be banned? Moreover, those who already have a license from a regulatory provider, they have the right to advertise where they are allowed to market them.
Except for platforms that don't have a license, advertising should be banned and even operations should be banned.

As long as the gambling platform is carrying out its obligations according to the regulations in force in the country they operate, of course it would be a stupid choice if the government banned the advertisement, instead of banning the advertisement I think it is better to limit the places where the advertisement is carried out, that is far better than banning it completely.

s/amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/28/ads-for-online-gambling-should-be-banned-in-australia-within-three-years-inquiry-recommends]Ads for online gambling should be banned across all media and at all times within three years to combat the manipulation of an “impressionable and vulnerable audience”, a parliamentary inquiry has recommended.

After months of debate about betting ads, including the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, labelling them “annoying” and the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, calling for a ban on ads during sports matches, the inquiry has provided a blueprint to shut them down entirely.

If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos? As we all know most established and new casinos come to bitcointalk to launch their ANN thread and carry out signature promotion campaigns which can be regarded as ads in a sense. If ads should be banned will their promotion in Bitcointalk also end?

@Saheedu, i want you to understand that the bitcointalk is made up people from different parts of the world and from your statement i think the ban  is only applicable to those that are residents of Australia, and the prime minister of Australia doesn't have any legal right to ban the ANN thread from the bitcointalk, maybe the forum might only adjust their policy and restrict residents of that particular country from viewing the ANN thread if need be, which I don't think is likely to happen.
 The thing is different countries review their constitutions and set ban on things they see as threat or not right for their society on the other hands the government benefits from those gambling sites  through different means so I feel they'll later come to an agreement to make amends of those odd advertisements that promotes addictive gambling and also using illegal means to promote gambling but one thing I'm sure of is that a government can try to implement laws that would restrict illegal advertisements but it would be quite difficult to stop people from gambling because it's addictive, you can only encourage them to quit but can't stop them forcefully.

Governments can in fact regulate the ads which can be displayed even for legal businesses and most of them have a regulatory agency completely dedicated to this, as businesses like to take any advantage that they can and they can exaggerate out of proportion the benefits of their products, so it is not surprising that we are seeing some countries getting worried about gambling ads as the growth of online gambling during the previous years has been amazing.

The government does have the authority to limit this and they have a surveillance team that can block gambling if it violates the rules set by the government, that's easy if they work well.
the level of development of online gambling is very significant The increase, I also have a friend who has his own gambling platform, and he manages to earn money in one month up to $ 20 million every month from the losses of his players, of course that is a not reasonable number as a gambling provider without a license and the game only relies on advertisements from facebook adds and from streamers only, which triggers people to play on their platform.

[bettercrypto]

It seems like they want to ban gambling ads, because recently even up to the present, the promotion of ads on special media platforms like Facebook is so rampant, I'm really surprised that Facebook just lets you while many young people and minors see those gambling ads.

It would be okay if it is promoted in the right place that no minors can see. Even if we say that this is just business, there should be something to consider for the sake of those who are not yet in the right age.

[OgNasty]

Despite the country specific debate, it does seem like limits for gambling advertisements are coming down the chain. Similar to how you can show alcohol consumption in television ads in the US or flat out banning of cigarette advertisements on TV, I could see in the future regulators wanting to curb any sort of gambling advertisements as well and not just is Aussieland.

This is is going to be very difficult to do, I mean it should be done but when those kids know more about how to use their smartphones than their parents then any measure that could be implemented to try to keep those gambling ads away from them has the potential of being circumvented by a great deal of them, and when we consider that now even video games have some gambling mechanics then this is even harder to do as you will need to regulate almost anything that touches the hands of minors.

[Ulven]

It's possible that certain countries or regions may impose restrictions on the promotion of online gambling platforms, including those on Bitcointalk.

What kind of restrictions? Only what can be effective is for a country to ban gambling directly. The gambling sites on this forum are not even providing gambling services to people in the countries that ban gambling. But as for gambling ads or gambling promotion, that is not going to work. People will always visit this forum as long as they have their VPN and Tor on their device.

Yes, that's what would happen if access to the forum is banned by the government of that country. Users will know how to handle the situation through the shared application, so there's no need to worry. The government aims to combat gambling advertisements on social media applications to protect minors from exposure, but limiting gambling itself is unlikely because it generates significant revenue that the country needs to manage its affairs.

Governments are right to have concerns about gambling advertising if the impact it has has has had on so many young generations. Of course I'd be happy to say it makes sense to do so if the ad is a direct ad on a sporting event, but maybe not about a forum ad.

After all, the government has blocked many online casinos so far so some of the gamblers will have limited access to them. Even if they wanted to bypass that restrictions then obviously they would have to use TOR or a VPN which in the end would very likely be the start of the problem of why some accounts and winnings were frozen.

It's pretty hard to ban something that makes a lot of money. In many countries gambling has been completely banned for years, but we cannot say that the citizens of these countries do not gamble. In my opinion, instead of banning something, we should offer people an alternative, and free of charge. In my opinion, even increasing the level of education among the poor can reduce the level of gambling addiction much more than banning gambling advertising.

[Westinhome]

Australia is the small country with good economy,So minor impact in the economy will reflect huge in the over all economy.It was the main reason behind the Australia to ban the gambling in their country.So some of the country ban the gambling is based on their opinion.Only in some country the gambling advertisement was include the unwanted material and it should ban.Many country based gambling only accept the gambling based on good factor and it also check the 18+ was included or excluded in the gambling ad.The minor gambling only needs of ads money to run their company website.But the gambling based on Europe and Developed countries was legit almost and doesn't promote the ads and spoil their name.

We can only filter the ads so they don't appear in the browser and only the ads we want will appear. But even so, we also have to be careful because ads like that can appear anywhere and even though we have filtered them, the ads will still appear.

And today's children are getting smarter in using their smartphones so that they can visit sites they should not be allowed to visit. But it is because of curiosity that keeps them visiting and if it is a casino site, they will try to play while looking around the contents of the casino. And later, they will try to deposit their money to experience real money gambling.

If you want to ban gambling ads, it should be from the provider or a site that allows ads to tighten the rules. But I doubt they will because it is related to the profit they get. So banning gambling advertisements still seems difficult to do so we will still see those gambling advertisements.

It will be difficult for the government to completely stop the advertising of Casinos or the operations of casinos. Sometimes the illegal stuff can be profitable like the poppy plantations of Afghanistan. The West was even disappointed when finally the Talibaan government finally stop the operation of the heroin source.

Facebook doesn't advertise casino ads AFAIK but it's the influencers sponsoring these influencers that are often the reason for the rise of casino users these days. The government these days however have more things to handle than dealing with those gambling ads. The troubled economy of each country is already weighing too much for the government but they may actually allow casinos to operate widely so they can generate more money.

A government, organized enough could effectively ban or put limitations on the advertising of casinos or gambling in general, but it is not only the fact such thing is not a priority. In many jurisdictions it would be troubling to legally set a precedent and ban advertisement for such a service.

Sure, it has been cases for the banning of cigarette ads, but it would not be the same for casinos nor other goods, like beer. Just because something can be harmful if abused, does not mean we are supposed to isolate it from our society.  Freedom is an important trait of western society, after all.

Gambling ads can't be stopped by anyone, unless the website goes down or no more customers. Based on my own findings, gambling advertisements on Facebook, Twitter and other social media no longer use official accounts to reach gamblers, instead they use buzzers to advertise on social media. This is a proof if we will not able to stop the ads.

Gambling may be illegal in many countries it depends on each country's rules but Bitcointalk is a decentralized forum so it does not depend on any country's decisions or rules.  So if this gambling promotion is banned in all countries, it is not logical that it will be banned in this forum as well. Although this forum is designed for Bitcoin discussions, all kinds of topics are discussed here. and everything crypto related is promoted. so gambling with crypto will not be banned separately in this case

If we have ads then there are ads blockers that we can use to safeguard ourselves from being hurt by the continue experience in seing those ads advertisement on our websites visited, we cannot actually stop every one of them but we can prevent them from what we do, we can also in other words consider them to be a means of making advertisement in which anyone of us may also fall under such category of needs be that we needed to make an advertisement on our products or services.

I agree with what you said because until now gambling advertisements always appear on every social media even though certain countries prohibit gambling but in fact these advertisements are still spread freely and I often see influencers broadcasting live gambling too.
In fact, is true that maybe if gambling was legalized in part of the country where gambling is prohibited, economy of that country would be better off because it gets taxes from gambling.
But all of that is still a serious problem and prefer to just advertise gambling and let it go without banning but quietly taxing it all.

There's no way on avoiding that because whether you would be hovering on youtube or social media on which on the time that you would be watching out some gambling related things then due to because of algorithm then

it would really be throwing out those similar niche that you had searched out earlier on which it would really be just that typical that we would really be seeing these things on which its not really that shocking i would say.
Gambling ads should be banned? It would really vary because we know that each country does have their own jurisdiction when it comes to gambling laws and regulations. There might be places which gambling
is being banned but there are ones who had been allowed and now we are speaking about online gambling ads then it is something that couldnt be stopped. It could be seen on different or various mediums
and this is why if you do find yourself that impulsive on seeing these things then you must simply block it out or skip if ever you have seen one.

There's no other way that we could be able to stop because if we do push it out on legal means then it would really be that pretty useless.
