Ads for online gambling should be banned.

[Lorence.xD]

The best solution is to provide jobs and also convenience in all social services so that automatically people can focus more on a better life and avoid all forms of risky actions such as gambling.

Gambling is already part of everyone's culture. Even if there will be jobs and things as such but if a person has already been a gambler, you can't remove that on him unless he's the one that's gonna remove it for himself. And the better the life, the easier the gambler will take it place that he can gamble without having a problem because win or lose, there's still money that's gonna flow on him based on the life that he's got and the job that he's working on.

Well, gambling cannot be avoided, in essence, it has become an old culture that is attached to one's life, especially now that gambling is easier without having to go to a traditional casino.
I agree with you that with a better life, he has a stable job, he will not be able to forget about gambling, especially by having enough finances, it will be easier to deposit to start gambling, so with an established job, it is not enough to stop gambling unless own desire to stop forever.

For me, as long as we don't cross the limits of our financial capabilities, there is no problem. Put it in the category of fun, not to make a living in gambling.

It's already passed down to generation to generation, there's even new gambling games that are popular locally or internationally like casino. As the thread concerns about its advertisement of course it would be affected from the specific place only but for sure the bitcointalk forum wouldn't be affected from it. Gambling especially new sites would needed ads for them to be introduced to its new customer or player. Since in the social media it would be easier to use ads to spread the word about the new casinos.

Well that's Australia for you, maybe they are aware of the bad impact of gambling on their citizens, most especially the young ones, but honest they care that's why they are doing this, other countries are gaining a lot from casinos and they don't care what that is doing to their citizens of the country, still this won't stop anyone in that country from gambling, they already know about it and people can still influence other people to try their luck with gambling, if they really want to stop this, they should ban gambling in the country.

The government of the country can come up with a better idea of letting it's citizens know more about gambling responsibly, I read the news and it's saying that gambling is all about winning some and losing more, and that's accurate, I believe there are ways they can prepare their people to limit or gamble responsibly too.

The Bitcointalk forum is not related to anything and is independent so the ads still appear. But for other places, especially offline places, the government can prohibit or regulate it so that only adults can gamble. And what is difficult to regulate is the spread of gambling advertisements on social media because it is related to the social media service site. Hence, the government needs to take different approaches. But now there are a lot of gambling advertisements appearing on social media so people have to be more vigilant and maybe they can filter out the types of ads that will appear on their profile page.

By this are you suggestive that gambling will go down or relegated to the background? No I don't think that is going to happen. No matter the jobs that government provide for her youth, gambling will still be there. The days we are are the days of new age and exploration, the youth are exploring all aspects of socialization and acculturation of which gambling is one of the top that people get to know what happens in other jurisdictions. And the gaming industry is fast growing , different sports find there way to bookies. The gambling adventure is now more of pleasure and fun that employed people find time for it also.

No, I never hinted at gambling being relegated to the background.
But at least with a permanent job someone can be busy all day with work and go home to rest so that if they decide to play gambling it will only be one or two game sessions and not be too long in gambling.
In this era, the gaming industry is growing rapidly and many sporting events are taking place in every corner of the world, which allows more people to play or bet.
But if they already have the awareness of being normal people who need a job then gambling can slowly be limited and not all the time they can gamble.

You are right that gambling has become a culture and anyone who gambles will still be a gambler, but to continue gambling activities a person needs a certain amount of money and money can be obtained when they want to work or do business.
Imagine if a gambler didn't have a job, could they just bet all the time?
After all, if they work well, they can use gambling only as a means of entertaining themselves when they are off work.

Yes, it has been done in my country giving a warning that gambling must be responsible and gambling has a higher risk than winning it but fortunately advertisements about gambling have never been on television advertisements in my country, this method is actually the same also used by advertisements on television about strong warning about the dangers of smoking where it is always written in advertisements that,

"Smoking will kill you"

That's why even so gambling is banned in my country but not with cigarettes to prevent addicts at least the government always gives a warning even though in the end the warning will always be ignored by them, but the government has at least warned about the dangers of gambling and also smoking, so everything returns to choice live each other because there is no coercion and prohibition for them to do so. Gambling advertisements are strictly prohibited in my country but you can still find them on the internet.

They probably find banning ads more easier and convenient than hosting seminars, doing events, and spreading messages about responsible gambling, etc. And, I believe they are just against online gambling which might also have something to do with cryptocurrency gambling since the whole world knows how popular cryptocurrency gambling platforms are becoming which might not be what the authorities want since it will make their citizens use cryptocurrencies.

We all know that a lot of countries are indirectly against cryptocurrencies and the blockchain movement, so they don't want cryptocurrencies to be used in their country by their citizen because they believe it provides them financial freedom and they will have private and secure storage of wealth.

Bitcointalk is like a TV or other electronic device which is only a place to see whatever is in the show and if advertising or anything happens with the broadcast it is not the fault of the TV or we cannot sue the TV not to advertise gambling because this is an open place, anyone is free here .
Another problem with gambling advertising will remain because in certain parts of the country gambling can be an income that can help the country's economy at the cost of taxes.
It's pretty clear that gambling advertising can never be banned.

On the one hand, we have "ease" and "convenience", essentially political inaction masquerading as action; on the other hand, we have the complexities of “educating” the masses about the perils of online gambling. Indeed, your argument has me flummoxed - both amused and puzzled, or as I call it, "super-baffled". Nevertheless, we can't ignore the crypto elephant in the room. Cryptocurrency gambling platforms do pose a quandary for authorities, given their rising popularity. Yet, this fear you suggest, that embracing crypto equals relinquishing financial control - is it substantiated? Or merely another case of the old guard fearing the new? After all, the promise of crypto is financial liberation for all, a kind of "financial democratization", if you will.

In the Philippines, the gambling industry generates the 3rd highest revenue for the budget of the government annually. Though there may be lots of negative impacts of gambling, there are also some positive impacts that greatly affect others.

At the end of the day, it is all about balancing- balancing the interests of the government to generate revenue for the betterment of society; and balancing the interests of the citizens to live a life free from all social norms, pressure, and addiction.

This is but a problem for the government to resolve in order to satisfy both ends of the stick. I do think that there is a way in order to minimize the destructive effects of gambling but it takes two to tango- both the citizens and the government must strictly comply with the said rules and requirements.

That's the point, sometimes the gambling industry creates dilemma considerations while the government wants to keep state revenue. I don't know if online gambling also contributes a lot to that.

However, when it comes to advertising methods, I think they are unlimited. While lately there have been a lot of hidden advertisements in various places (review and rating sites, livestreaming, short videos, etc) so that internet users will not be able to completely avoid the visibility of online casinos.

[Outhue]

Crypto gambling and casinos was well hidden to someone like myself, in the past years the only valid gambling platform I know is freebitco and that's because of their free faucet, if not I wouldn't know that such a platform existed.

Coming on this forum and seeing some high rank members promoting casinos was what makes me to be curious about using crypto to gamble online, and I started my gambling journey through Roobet at first then I started trying others out too.

I think the level of casino advertisement online right now is still well hidden and not available everywhere online, you will have to develop gambling interest in mind before you go looking for one yourself, that's how we'll hidden gambling ads are online, it could be different based on location maybe, I don't know.

Casinos that are licensed and operate in certain jurisdictions after getting approval from the authorities generally pay their taxes, so I don't think that governments don't generate any revenue out of gambling platforms unless they are operating without their consent and aren't licensed which is why they get banned or sealed when they are caught operating without a license and not paying their taxes properly because no business can do that.

About advertisements, this is the first time I'm hearing about a country willing to completely ban and disallow gambling ads all around the country and on the internet as well, if they ban online gambling platforms as well then it can be understandable that maybe they are doing this because they don't want them to operate within the country at all.

It is difficult to ban gambling advertising at this time because gambling advertising has become a big tax contributor everywhere. And the government also doesn't want to lose that gambling revenue so the government might just limit the schedule of gambling advertisements so that children don't see gambling advertisements. And actually, it's the responsibility of each because it's just an advertisement that is the same as other advertisements. Well, maybe if all parties want to work together, it seems that it can still reduce the number of people who gamble and gambling problems such as gambling addiction can be reduced.

Gambling regulations will surely depend heavily on how gambling is considered by politicians, if gambling is just seen as an adult hobby, then you may be right and gambling ads will simply disappear from events that children and young people are expected to watch, however if gambling is considered to be bad for people regardless of their age then we may see a complete ban on gambling advertising, a scenario similar to what happened to tobacco.

Things that are meant to spread will spread no matter what someone does to prevent that from happening. Tobacco advertisements are banned all around the world, but does that reduce the number of smokers? It doesn't, in fact, they keep increasing over time because there is no need for any advertisement for cigarettes to get to people, everyone knows where they can get them and they do that regardless of the fact that they are harmful to them.

Similarly, no matter how much government works on banning gambling advertisements to reduce the number of gamblers and gambling addicts, it is a kind of a thing that will spread anyway, the only difference is that who knows which platform one would choose to start their gambling journey.

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?

It's only in Australia that are willing to ban online casino advertisement. Not sure what you mean by bitcointalk casinos. Bitcointalk is a forum. Not a casino. The ANN thread you see is the announcement threads. It's not an advertisement thread. They announce their updated over there. The signatures are personal user space. I doubt it can be considered as a commercial advertisement. People can put what they want in their signature. They can put their referral links. And I doubt Australian government would care about this forum.

[Pierre 2]

I don't understand idea of banning crypto gambling ads. I mean what is the point and purpose? Especially politician tagging them "annoying" doesn't make sense. I mean is it reason why? So should we ban anything we find annoying to see? Its so stupid that politicians can't understand how much money clubs make through sponsorships and ads coming from crypto casinos. They are actually making competition lot better. It seems to me that Australia is making a mistake.

Wearing a casino signature means you're promoting the casino, if you're an Australian citizen, actually you're broke your country laws. But do you think Australian government will care and catch you? nope, the highest payrate of signature campaign in this forum is $150, such amount is just a peanut for them and not worth to take a serious action. Bitcointalk is also an underrated forum, not really high like reddit, so it make the government won't care about you.

Honestly people need to wake up to adblockers a bit more, but it's a bit of a catch 22 situation if too many people start using them it will break advertiser profitability entirely. I've barely seen any adverts after using one for many years, except for places like this which have custom tailored slots that are not detected. Unless the advert is particularly irritating or annoying, or targeted towards under 21's, then it should be considered the same as any other advert - just ignore it and move on with your day.

Yes bitcoin forum is completely independent. It does not operate any gambling sites so no government can file any complaint against it. However, where gambling is illegal, the government will impose various restrictions. Everything related to gambling in those places will be viewed seriously. I think the government cannot create any such obligation regarding gambling advertisements on social media. However, if governments want to, they can certainly regulate gambling at the national or local level.
