Ads for online gambling should be banned.

[Saheedu]

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?

Next time when going through an article make sure you get what it's about before you run to bitcointalk to create a thread.

The article states "ads for online gambling in Australia should be banned" it's only in Australia and not the entire world so I doubt it will have any effect on bitcointalk. If it was a world wide situation which seems impossible for me that would have been a different ball game but since they're only restricting it for those in Australia then it will have effect on bitcointalk whatsoever

Try to know this that gambling ads cannot be banned by any means, we have to know that except the gambling platforms decided to put a stop to them there may not be a means to avoid this incidence at all, the two sides involved in this mostly benefited from it which is the promoting casinos and the promoters themselves, some gamblers also make uses of this to their advantage because they get updates and offerers through this except for those not interested in seeing ads in their experience being online, the forum casinos has nothing to do with this either nor do they get affected by this decision since their own advertisement here is not by ads except for other platforms they also appears.

I believe that ads are the right of any business so long as the country whose through its IP is being used to send the ads allows gambling. Once the country could be entitled to taxes generated by gambling, it should be able to relax its stance on gambling companies as it would be so unfair for them to disallow promotion for what they are collecting tax for. A website, app or platform should be the sole decider if they would allow or reject gambling ads, some are even doing it without any issue.

As for it affecting "bitcointalk," it will surely do if this is general, after all, all these sites come here to promote what they offer.

One thing I have noticed about this life is that different countries will have different opinions about something. As some government do not want gambling ads all over the sites and places their country people are visiting which is pertaining  to their country, other countries will regulate gambling ads instead in different ways. Some countries will not even regulate gambling ads at all. With what I have seen, it will not be easy to stop gambling ads on this form, this forum is banned in Russia, but Russians visit this forum most because the IP restriction can easily be bypassed and not that gambling is banned in the country.

It is important to note that regulations surrounding online gambling can vary by jurisdiction, and it's always advisable to stay updated on the latest laws and guidelines in your specific region. It's possible that certain countries or regions may impose restrictions on the promotion of online gambling platforms, including those on Bitcointalk.
If such a ban were to be implemented in Australia, it would primarily focus on mainstream media and advertising channels rather than specifically targeting online forums or Bitcoin casino promotions. Nonetheless, it's essential to monitor any legal developments and consult local regulations to ensure compliance with the specific rules governing online gambling advertising in your jurisdiction.

[bitbollo]

these are local bans at a local lecel I think these solutions can't be applied on an (international) forum. among other things, this ban is already present in Italy.

Here in my country (in practice) it was something useful (there were really questionable advertisements related gambling and directed to any age ).

[_act_]

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.

You know that it's with Australia right? If ever it were to happen, nothing is going to happen in Bitcointalk because its cryptocurrencies, and probably the article talks about the ones in major ads or something. Unless it has something to do more with enticing or something. I think signature campaigns are a sign that they exist and are not enticing ads or something.

That only happens in Australia, that's not an international law. All that means is that gambling ads will only be banned in Australia and as far as I understand, that only includes TV ads, not ads places on websites and even in that case, they'll only be able to restrict local, Australian websites, not other websites. So, bitcointalk and casinos that promote on bitcointalk can feel safe in case Australia bans online gambling ads on websites.

[Nrcewker]

It’s mentioned about ads that are displayed in Australia specifically. So yes, it does not apply to the whole world. Moreover, if you talk about signature campaign promotions, then it’s just a smaller portion of advertising that is done in people’s signatures. but the article that you have mentioned is purely focused on mainstream advertisements like billboards or television ads. Moreover, if you see bitcointalk signature ads, they are only for the members of bitcointalk, whereas in the OP, the ads that are being discussed are being seen by the whole mass.

[ethereumhunter]

Bitcointalk and other places are different. And Bitcointalk is a forum providing information about crypto and a place for promotions. In addition, Bitcointalk is also not bound by regulators so promotions about gambling can still run.

But if the promotion is done in a country, it has to be approved by the government because they make the rules. People wishing to place ads must contact them for permission. If that country prohibits advertising, gambling ads cannot be displayed because later, it will make people try them out of curiosity.

The ban is only in Australia and not worldwide,which means that it will only affect them in Australia on gambling ads. Here in bitcointalk,it wouldn't affect any casino or promotions on the casino. This is the biggest crypto community online and a local restriction wouldn't change anything here. Government in different countries has their own way on tackling gambling to prevent their citizens from being an addict. Gambling is legal and can't be stopped internationally,because these casinos are sponsoring some major sport firms. Gambling ads is increasing day by day.

Already several countries have gambling ads banned partially and completely. Few of the countries include Germany, Spain, Italy, Uk and the list goes on. Does this mean that gambling isn't possible in those countries. Certain states have the ban on gambling where it isn't possible to gamble. In Qatar gambling is banned, if you remember the ads running around the ground during the days of FIFA you'll understand how effective is the ban. Ads were found around, the necessary steps need to taken on the actors and actresses, which is the effective way to ban ads. They should give the right information, not the mesmerizing chance of winning big.

If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos?

No, it won't. Technically not everyone knows or is interested in bitcointalk forum.

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?

Once again, the answer is no. There are specifications for areas where the ads should be ban and websites are not included. I support ad being ban on sports jersey and tv at a certain time of the day. They government or the authorities can implement that but, on the internet, nope. That's not possible.

[UserU]

Gambling is legal and can't be stopped internationally,because these casinos are sponsoring some major sport firms. Gambling ads is increasing day by day.

More countries are opening up to casinos/ gambling especially in Saudi due to the lucrativeness. Would be foolish to not capitalize on such opportunity

[ImThour]

Misleading title, I would say as it says that Ads for online gambling to be banned in Australia. You missed Australia mate, it changes the whole conclusion of the post.
There are 200 countries and you missing one in title makes Online Gambling Ads to be banned in all the 200 countries, haha.

Also, Gambling is legal in many countries and most of the gambling platforms also run sports book, they will use that to bring customers to the platform. Not a big deal for them if this happens.

The article states "ads for online gambling in Australia should be banned" it's only in Australia and not the entire world so I doubt it will have any effect on bitcointalk.

I also thought that it is for the whole world and we found out it's only in Australia, I don't think it will have a direct effect here in Bitcointalk, casinos here do not serve the Australian people only.

The title is quite misleading   the gambling community is not all Australian, OP should get the fact there are already countries that ban the advertisement of gambling ads we have one thread here about England's banning of gambling ads but no impact whatsoever.

The online casino industry is flourishing, and how can the authorities be sure that they can stop Australian gamblers from pursuing their passion, gamblers always find a way, especially those who are used to playing in online casinos for entertainment.

[.....]If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos?

Top game providers like NetEnt already ban players from Australia so it's not really going to affect casinos that are launched here. If there a large group of sports bettors here that come from AU then it could be a bit problematic.

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?

Their Government cannot ban the ads running here but they can block bitcointalk.org from being accessed by their citizens if they decide to do so.

[Wexnident]

Seems like it's country-specific, so I don't think it's going to hit bitcointalk that much, we aren't under any legal laws for a specific country afaik anyway. In the first place, I don't think this is going to be a permanent thing, even in Australia, since it's a pretty big industry in itself and brings in a lot of money as well. They might just try to approach it from a new angle or something if they're actually forced to. If they ban gambling completely like other countries, then maybe, but if it was targeted towards ads only? Specific yea, which may be helpful, but I doubt it'd be permanent as well due to that.
