Ads for online gambling should be banned.

It will need a mass incident report for the internet providers to make a move. Right now, it is really hard to filter gambling advertisements because even on different social media platforms, you will see a lot of people promoting it. That's why what people need to do is to supervise the underage regarding gambling. For those who are at the right age, can think about whether they will gamble or not.

Indeed, it is very difficult because advertisements use many methods to appear in front of the public. And it is the duty of each of us to be able to filter it, especially if the ad appears on our children's devices in the future. We have to be more alert and be able to supervise our children well so that they don't try to gamble. And this is about how we can give them understanding so they can stay away from gambling forever. Perhaps we also need to tell them about the impacts they can get if they gamble.

While there are many attractive web ads, and casino ads are particularly appealing. Using tools and programs to block them on displays is feasible. Everyone has the freedom to adjust their Internet preferences. Understanding how marketers and platforms aid each other is also crucial.

Service companies must monitor their money, as you indicated. Users may improve surfing environments by voicing concerns and suggesting ad settings. With effective communication and understanding, you can balance customer satisfaction and business profit.

As long as we are willing to look for and try ways that allow us to filter advertisements on the internet, we can block them. Perhaps we can set preferences on each of our devices, especially on our children's devices, so they don't abuse it and end up gambling.

And this is an obligation we have to do for our children so they can use their devices well. In this way, we can rest assured that our children can use their devices well, and we can also filter out advertisements that will appear later.

Perhaps we also need to tell them about the impacts they can get if they gamble.

Well that's right, some online casinos have now begun to use unusual ways, they have dared to appear in the public eye in several social media platforms, even though for example the government that does not legalize gambling has removed all their promotional content but still when the government removes one it will grow ten, they don't seem to want to lose to whatever comes to try to disrupt or regulate them. And indeed this is a big problem for us as a society and especially for parents who must be able to keep a close eye on what their children are doing, as you said, now there are a lot of online promotions and a lot of them are circulating on our devices such as smartphones, so this is very risky, especially for children who are still underage, it is very possible that they end up seeing and feeling curious, apart from that as we know that children who are still underage have a high level of curiosity about whatever comes to them. It's true that we as parents must really be able to filter all of that, not only for parents who have minors but for all people. In my opinion, the only way is that we must limit everything our children do, do not give access to anything that has the opportunity to know gambling, such as limiting the use of smartphones.

As long as we are willing to look for and try ways that allow us to filter advertisements on the internet, we can block them. Perhaps we can set preferences on each of our devices, especially on our children's devices, so they don't abuse it and end up gambling.

Yes, maybe blocking might be one of the effective things we can do to prevent our children from having the opportunity to know about gambling, but I don't think it will be completely successful because over time some promotions will definitely reappear, as we know the development of the social media world is very fast and maybe some casinos have various ways that are smarter than us. But yeah I wouldn't say it's wrong because it's one of the pretty good alternatives and we should still do it as a precaution. And besides social media, it would be nice if we also as parents must continue to pay attention to our children's socialization in the environment, because it can also be very influential. Keep them away from environments that are not good and can be detrimental, limit their time to play.
Regardless of anything, I agree with your advice, and it is true that this is an obligation that all parents must do in the midst of gambling which is now increasingly widespread, there is nothing wrong with us trying because this is also for the good of all of us, especially children whose future is still far away.

And this is an obligation we have to do for our children so they can use their devices well. In this way, we can rest assured that our children can use their devices well, and we can also filter out advertisements that will appear later.

first of all, we have to consider how old our child is and if he is under 12 years old, it is quite easy because in certain countries, as long as the smartphone used is never used to search for gambling, I am sure that gambling advertisements will never appear in any media and another way, there are several social media that currently have features for minors, so as parents you can activate this feature so that advertisements sensitive to minors will be automatically blocked from these media.

but for children over 15 years old it will be a little more difficult because in this era of advanced technology, many young people know any way to access whatever they want, so the most appropriate effort is to always check and limit their children use of smartphone, even though it seems restrictive, but this is for the good because gambling advertisements are now mushrooming everywhere, even in countries where gambling is prohibited, advertisements will still appear on any social media.

Despite the current technological advancements that's allowed very young people to know some of the things that are not meant for their age, there are still very good measure that's been put in place for their parents and guardians to regulate their activities in the internet.
You can use Parental Control to regulate their activities and also limit the kind of contents they consume with their smart devices. A child that's less than 18 years isn't supposed to have access to any gambling site talk more of seeing ads on those websites.

It's not the task of internet providers to have them removed or moved. These advertisements are in the hands of the platforms where they're being advertised. Like in search engine websites, they're responsible for what ads they're showing to their users and partners.
And for the platforms where they're allowing it, it's time for them to have it filtered but you're right on this one that there's a must for many reports for them to start making a move but it's not really for ISPs because they're just there to have one job and that's to provide internet service and rest goes to the platforms where these ads are placed.

I understand your angle on ISPs and their role - or lack thereof - in the ad ecosystem. They're like the highway builders, not responsible for the cars (or ads) that traverse them.

But hey, platforms have become lazy and greedy. They want those ad revenues, yet often turn a blind eye to the content. Search engines and other platforms should have a vetting process tighter than the security at a high-stakes poker event. It's not just about the revenue; it's about integrity and user experience. While I don't believe ISPs should police content, these platforms better step up their game or risk killing their user base. Profits today, gone tomorrow - a gamble they seem all too willing to make

Your opinion is indeed good, but parents cannot always control or supervise their children's activities in using gadgets even if they are limited. And in my opinion, it is best to be alert if there are signs of gambling advertisements and advise not to click or open them and parents should also tell them the signs first.
Apart from that, always check the gadget carefully after not using it and still instruct it not to click or open gambling advertisements and remain under supervision if there are no important things such as work or other important matters.

It is already a thing, actually.
There has been criminals who use Artificial intelligence to fake the voice of others, so they can get money out of the victim's family and friends.

Since now AI can also generate pictures and graphics, it will be just a matter of time before very well done deep fakes of celebrities are created by the staff of shady services, in order to mislead people into their service, thinking they are legit enough for a super star to endorse them.

That is one of the biggest fears when comes to advertisement, specially with services which barely filter their content, like Google, allowing barbage to pop out on peoples browsers.

Even I have heard about fraudsters using AI to generate known voices of their relatives and using it to scam people.
But that doesn't involve any images or videos because it is relatively easier to identify if the image or video looks fake or not.

Well, in my opinion those deepfakes are getting better with each year that comes and goes. For example, some days ago I saw a deepfake of Trump, i knew it was a deepfake because it was posted on Twitter by an account which shares deepfakes.

At this pace, we won't have to wait much time before scammers manage to fake pictures of us, in order to easily scam people.
It is one of the reasons I have tried to say family and friends about those new methods so they can be aware and set security questions with their relatives, so even some scumbag tried to fake their voice, they would need to know a specific piece of information anyways.

The ignorance of assuming technology is on our side when it comes to gambling and its influences is laughable. You're talking about age-restrictions on certain platforms, but let's be real here. Any techie kid these days knows five different ways around any parental lock. It's the family's duty now to teach discipline and the dangers of gambling. You mention gambling ads "mushrooming" everywhere. Ironic, given mushrooms can either be a tasty treat or deadly. This isn't about country restrictions; it's about fostering an environment where your child knows better, regardless of the ads they see. 

[n00ber]

Gambling advertising, this situation is being blatantly advertised on social networks, causing discomfort to users. Whenever I open YouTube for my children to watch cartoons, gambling ads appear, making me very uncomfortable. My child is young, but almost every day, he goes online and sees these ads. I'm afraid it will affect children's cognition.
Rampant advertising on social networks causes many consequences as the number of young children participating increases. I don't know how to turn off these ads. The government needs to intervene and resolve this situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will expand more and more.

That's what must happen that these platforms should step up what they're up to. They seem to be not worrying at all because they're going to profit from it. I don't really think that there will be some responsibility from the ISP to do what the platforms should do that are placing their ads on their websites.

The gambling site will have the control over the advertisement.So if you are not accept with the advertisement,you can create the complain on that website.If they not response for it,then the gambler can contact the support of the website.The search engine also sometimes responsible for the advertisement,but it’s hard to make the search engine owner to remove advertisement from your side.Their may be many report from the users,but the website won’t remove it because for the revenue from it.The website will remove the advertising only to the people who report to them and keep others to get revenue.

Well, it is in general about the popping up of advertisements. But yes that if there's a little responsibility that the gambling sites has, they are the ones that should conrtol it and whether you are up for it or not, there is nothing you can do as they're the ones who manages to place it and much more if they're partnered with ads company or even with google.

That is right. As much as we want to protect our children from the harm that they can get from gambling, then as parents it is our responsibility to manage what’s been appearing in their smart phones so they won’t be attracted or influence by the gambling ads. Gambling is only suitable for adults since they have the means to control their gambling habit if ever. For minors, at least they should not be exposed on it so they won’t develop the urge to gamble at a very early age.

Well that's right, some online casinos have now begun to use unusual ways, they have dared to appear in the public eye in several social media platforms, even though for example the government that does not legalize gambling has removed all their promotional content but still when the government removes one it will grow ten, they don't seem to want to lose to whatever comes to try to disrupt or regulate them.

That is why online casinos can always survive when there is a rejection or removal of advertisements made by the casino. They can still create other advertisements and distribute them to many sites easily. And this makes parents pay more attention to their children, especially children who are starting to reach adolescence because adolescence is a time when they try to want to know many things. As parents, we cannot fully supervise them daily because we are also busy with work. But at least we can still pay attention to them, and this attention is not only about giving them what they want but also paying attention to their situation and talking to them so that we understand their world. If necessary, we can also try to get to know his friends so that we can contact them if necessary. Limiting their access to the internet could be one solution, but we also have to be able to explain to them why we are doing it so that they don't misunderstand our intentions.

Yes, I also think about the possibility that could happen because with the progress of the internet, as it is now, they can find casinos easily, let alone deal with blocking problems, because I see many teenagers who can unblock certain sites they are not allowed to visit. And that makes many teenagers go down the wrong path, putting them in difficulties they and their parents have never faced.

Moreover, the development of social media has also advanced so that it can be a place for teenagers to learn many things. Parents should always be concerned about providing supervision and attention to their children so they don't go wrong. And I think if parents can approach their children well, they will understand and try not to take the wrong path because their parents will always guide them.

The advertisements won't appear on their smartphones, but the ads can appear on their friend's smartphones when hanging out. It will make them want to know more about the site, and sooner or later, they will try gambling. The curiosity of today's teenagers is greater than that of teenagers in previous years, so parents need to be closer to their children so they can provide understanding.

well, if the situation has changed, unlike what I said before, there are other ways, after blocking gambling advertisements or any effort to prevent advertisements from entering your smartphone, there are other ways to prevent young people from gambling just because of their high curiosity when seeing gambling advertisements friend smartphone.
so its like this, if the efforts I mentioned can not prevent all of this, parents must have an approach to their children to provide knowledge regarding any dangers related to accessing gambling so that slowly as parents they will provide knowledge that indoctrinates their children thinking to be afraid of accessing gambling and will not carry out any gambling activity after being given knowledge of the dangers of being addicted to gambling. so this method will be more appropriate for those of us who have concerns as parents about preventing our children from gambling.

It's better given that gambling can be influence from other people aside from advertisement from the internet. The root problem is gambling so yes, I think it's better to tell the child or teens about the negative effect of gambling just like how we tell them about not using drugs or some addictive substance like cigarettes. Advertisement nowadays is harder to control, imagine those free to use application on our mobile phone has an ads to access other features of it. So no matter how much we block advertisement, the maximum effect we can only do is to minimize it and not removing it entirely on other people phone.

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 been a few months already since the news and so far nothing changed here on the forum. The ban seems to be focused on Australia and wasn't picked up by other countries. In my country I haven't heard about any political movement that wants to ban gambling advertising. When I look on all the ads we have over here it would be crazy to not allow gambling ads, but then all the other things. The most common ads I notice are either for alcohol or cigarettes. The huge hype about e-cigarettes and vapes can be seen on billboards on every big corner. It would be unfair to ban on specific industry and allow everything else. The question is also how such a law could be enforced if ads are only displayed online. Banning something in Australia should have no real impact for the majority of users here on the forum.

The Australian government is concerned about her underage citizens, who venture into gambling. I've read, years ago, about an Australian kid who committed suicide because he wasn't able to pay up loans he took for gambling purpose; he got addicted. Similar to other citizens, both adults, commit suicide after taking multiple loans. So, the government, from the article OP shared, can enforce the no gambling ads on stadiums during football matches. It could help, but no accurate measures can solve such problem. The high rate of gambling ads outside the internet is too high, gambling houses exist almost in every street, according to locations. Hence, parental control for kids with phones, reduces or won't help. Restricting kids through parental control, is like stopping the flow of water with a mud. Adolescents are seen hovering the streets like a helicopter and they're exposed to these gambling houses, they see it in real life, not online. They see close relatives, who participate in gambling activities. By stopping online gambling ads and leaving behind offline gambling houses or casinos to operate, the Australian government won't achieve her goals. The best alternative, is by encouraging parents to improve moral instructions on their underage children, not to venture into gambling. If they see casinos houses as kids, they can develop interest as adults. I read some responses about parental control, it can work for some kids, not all kids can be restricted from gambling through parental control.

Yes, more on alcohol and cigarettes as well here in my country. Nevertheless, there are also ads about gambling as well, with even faces of well known athletes are part of the ads and promotion.

So I guess our country is not to hard core about gambling per se, although sometimes there are police raids about certain area wherein they are doing illegal gambling, but it's rare and we even have like 3 big casinos operated by big casino companies. Yes, there are news about Australia lately about their casino rules and regulations, but then again, it's going to be a uphill battle for the government to totally stop gambling, in my opinion.

When I look on all the ads we have over here it would be crazy to not allow gambling ads, but then all the other things. The most common ads I notice are either for alcohol or cigarettes. The huge hype about e-cigarettes and vapes can be seen on billboards on every big corner. It would be unfair to ban on specific industry and allow everything else. The question is also how such a law could be enforced if ads are only displayed online. Banning something in Australia should have no real impact for the majority of users here on the forum.

There is always movements against gambling and gambling ads in every countries, usually supported by leftist parties or parties which raise a religious flag. The point is that these movements are really weak, depending the country, so we don't hear about them, besides the fact they don't have support from a considerable portion of the population or the national media. When this is the case, gambling is safe to continue existing and being promoted, what attracts a large interest from international businessmen interested in exploring this niche of the market.

well, if the situation has changed, unlike what I said before, there are other ways, after blocking gambling advertisements or any effort to prevent advertisements from entering your smartphone, there are other ways to prevent young people from gambling just because of their high curiosity when seeing gambling advertisements friend smartphone.
so its like this, if the efforts I mentioned can not prevent all of this, parents must have an approach to their children to provide knowledge regarding any dangers related to accessing gambling so that slowly as parents they will provide knowledge that indoctrinates their children thinking to be afraid of accessing gambling and will not carry out any gambling activity after being given knowledge of the dangers of being addicted to gambling. so this method will be more appropriate for those of us who have concerns as parents about preventing our children from gambling.

It's better given that gambling can be influence from other people aside from advertisement from the internet. The root problem is gambling so yes, I think it's better to tell the child or teens about the negative effect of gambling just like how we tell them about not using drugs or some addictive substance like cigarettes. Advertisement nowadays is harder to control, imagine those free to use application on our mobile phone has an ads to access other features of it. So no matter how much we block advertisement, the maximum effect we can only do is to minimize it and not removing it entirely on other people phone.

Yes, it is very possible, and indeed I think environmental factors can also greatly influence anyone to enter gambling, not just some advertisements from the internet.  True, I agree with you that advertisements on several social media are now more and more numerous and difficult to control, especially for us as a society that does not have any authority to eradicate the promotion of gambling, for that problem we just leave it to the government, and here all we can do is minimize or reduce all possibilities that can adversely affect us, especially our children.

As we know the development of social media is now very fast and so are the gambling promotions that we find more and more, so with that I will agree with your suggestion, we must be able to minimize whatever we don't want, I think a good way is better to limit cellphone access for our children and also limit them in their social environment, don't let your guard down at all, gambling is very dangerous for the future, especially children.
