Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion.

[alegotardo]

While watching TV with my kid, I've watched various advertisements of gambling nature (let's say for example, Rummy123, RummyCircle, A23 Rummy, etc.)
These are all specifically Indian ads, but I'm sure you may have seen various gambling advertisements, some banners at boundaries when cricket is ongoing, even in any other sport. How would a kid ignore those things, they might just come and ask you about what is it. Till when can we lie to them? Don't you think that the frequency of such ads must be less in order to let the kids not get trapped into gambling and don't do it at such a small age?

Currently, sports betting advertisements are even on the uniforms of teams and athletes, unfortunately this is something that cannot be returned.
What should you respond to your child? That sports betting is something for adults, that it is highly addictive and is harmful to us if used abusively, in the same way that you should make your children aware of the use of alcohol and cigarettes, which is also something that is permitted, however with high risk for people who use it indiscriminately.

There is no other way to deal with this, we need to teach our children that this is something "normal" and make them aware of the risks and conscious use only after they reach an age of maturity for this.

No, do not lie to kids. Always tell them the truth or don't tell them at all.

The frequency of gambling ads should be reduced not because of kids alone but for the sake of everyone else who make be struggling with quitting and gambling and then get triggered by it. Parents can protect their kids by downloading some sort of software to block ads and gambling websites if it is possible.

In my country gambling and casino have not been legalized by the government parliament so no advertisement of gambling and casino sites are given on government television channels. However, gambling and casino sites are advertised on television channels of private companies, various social media, YouTube channels, Facebook, various gaming sites. Although gambling and casinos are not officially legalized in my country, various gambling and casino establishments have been established in different parts of my country in violation of government laws. Moreover, the popularity of new online gambling and casino sites is constantly increasing in my country, which we are constantly advertising on various social media and YouTube and private television channels.

We have gambling ads on TV. We see gambling ads while watching live streams. We also see gambling ads watching videos on YouTube. There are gambling ads scattered all over social media. There are even SMS and email messages promoting gambling sites. And then we're seeing gambling platforms printed on the uniforms of athletes. Even usernames of eSports players have gambling sites attached to them.

So, it's really very hard to insulate our kids from all kinds of gambling promotions. But I don't think we have to lie to them. We need to speak the truth and educate them about gambling, perhaps that it's not for them, or that it's not for people who don't have so much money lying idly around. And, of course, don't show them that you're gambling.

Gambling ads don't just come up on TV here in my country, I mean obvious gambling ads. And depending on the the channel your are watching, assuming you are watching one of the spots channel then such ads will come up. I have seen a couple of football betting sites ads during commercials whenever am watching any football match. Besides this channel, you don't see them on other channels that are not directly related to such.
But online is a different story entirely. There are no regulations so you see different gambling ads online.

Yes, it's very prevalent now a days, not just on TV though, it's on mobile phones, on the internet. And we all know that in this age, every kid in the world has access t to least one if all.

How would a kid ignore those things, they might just come and ask you about what is it. Till when can we lie to them? Don't you think that the frequency of such ads must be less in order to let the kids not get trapped into gambling and don't do it at such a small age?

It's very different to answer, because we are not on our kids 24x7 and as much as we want to see what they are watching or seeing in those gadgets, sooner or later they will have to encounter it and maybe some of them are curious about it. So I guess that best thing to do as parent is just somewhat be on the lookout, maybe from time to time check their gadgets for something unusual. If they ask about it, then explain to them that they shouldn't be involving themselves at the young age about gambling. So it's about our responsibility as a parent or guardian to our kids and children.

[Latviand]

My country has a pretty strict control of ads on TV so the only gambling ads I've seen on TV is probably the Lottery results or during any big Pacquiao fights. Although I don't like the TV regulatory board in my country because of how much they censor and cut their shows to accomodate more advertisement to the point that airtime for ads are larger than actual shows and their morality so backwards, I still agree that gambling ads shouldn't be a thing because you can't filter out your audience, there will definitely be kids that's going to see them and we can all agree that it's not the time for them to learn about it.

I think there is nothing we can do apart from accompanying our children when they are watching sports matches on television, because the gambling sites provide their funds for events in these sports, so that the events can continue so it is almost impossible for us to see that the advertisements do not appear at sporting events, and I witnessed this very massive.
In my country, usually advertisements that into the adult category, such as cigarettes and gambling which should also be included, will be broadcast starting at 10 pm, but for sports broadcasts from abroad, of course these advertisements will still appear, especially for those of us who watch them not on local television but cable television, so there is almost nothing to do because many sporting events are sponsored by gambling sites.

Gambling ads are pretty common here but they do have some restrictions. One of them being that they should not be shown between shows/cartoons that have been made for kids. Most often they are shown during sports events and everything related to sports because a large % of the funding for those events is coming from the gambling companies.
If done responsibly, i think the gambling ads/sponsorships are a necessary "evile" because without them, a lot of the events would literally never happen.

The most popular sport in my country is football and it is viewed by the entire population age notwithstanding. It is normal to see several gambling advertisements, before, during, and after these soccer games. Most of the major sponsors of these games are gambling firms because they are the once that can afford it. Even most football them are bankrolled by different casinos so it is normal to see the ads on their jerseys. Large billboards and smaller ones are common in the streets of my country without any form of restrictions. Gambling advertisement is not regulated in my country but they are mandated to add the 18+ sign which shows that anyone below eighteen years is not qualified to gamble.

You don't have to lie to kids about what they can easily get the right answers from friends and the internet. Your responsibility as an adult is to tell them the truth about gambling and inform them about the risks involved.  They should also know that they cannot gamble until they get to the statutory age. But it would be great if the government control these adverts so that they would not give rise to underage gambling and addiction

[TastyChillySauce00]

The gambling ads should not be banned or disallowed. The TV just needs to control the time to broadcast it. In my country, I recall that adult advertisements were predominantly broadcasted around midnight when all the children had already gone to sleep. It's very effective in preventing our child from watching it yet tv was not also losing its frequency to be broadcasted.

[ethereumhunter]

I have never seen gambling advertisements on television because the government prohibits advertisers from using the media to promote their companies. And if kids watch it, they will ask adults about the game and how to play it. And after getting more information, they may try playing it with their friends.

We don't need to lie to them and provide sufficient explanation that it is gambling. I agree that gambling advertisements like this should be reduced and not be shown during hours when children are still active. Maybe it doesn't need to be banned but reduced so children don't see it too often or even see the advertisements.

[TopTort777]

I've seen gambling ads on TV, YouTube and other platforms. Often they can be skipped after 5-12 second of watching (does not work with TV). So far my kid does not pay much attention to it, does not focus much on the context. While gambling ads are not frequent during tv breaks (from 5 ads during break, maybe 1 would be gambling related), on the internet, ads must be regulated. There are platforms huge cartoon libraries and before cartoon starts, kids watch unskippable war and violence related ads. Watching bombs, explosions, military technics and blood before watching Bambi is wrong.

Well, adult advertisements were shown during nights because of its context, but gambling ads do not contain any vulgar content which is why it is allowed to be displayed on the TV at any time (even during the daily soap timings when our wives take the children with them and watch that shit). I don't say that they should ban it, but such ads should be limited. Like, whenever a show or even sports game gets a pause for the ads to run, I've seen gambling ads showing up 99% of the time. So that's why I think that they should lower the number of times it is shown during the day.

You don't really need to lie to your kids about it if they aren't too young to not understand anything and ask you about it, you can simply tell them that it's something where people make bets and they lose money and that is why it's not a good thing. You can find a different way to tell them so that they can have a negative perception about gambling at that age which will prevent them from getting involved with gambling until they reach a certain age in their lives.

Children have clear and empty minds, and it's our responsibility to fill those empty blocks with useful and correct information that can be good for them in the long run instead of being confused and blaming the world or things for spoiling our children. Our upbringing plays a great role in this situation.

This is where parenting would kick in.  

On the time that they would really be making out some questions then it would really be just that right that you should really be needing for them to know on what it is.
This is where you would really be trying out to explain and telling things which gambling is really that bad or must be avoided. We know that in todays generation which our children is really that
exposed to those kind of advertisement on which it would really be that totally resulting into those kind of encounter and on the time that you arent around?
For sure those curiosity would kick in.

This is why it would really be just that better that you should really be that telling them while early so that on the time that they would encounter it in next time then
they would really be remembering on what you have said about it and they would be that acting accordingly with it.

Well, as a parent, you may only explain the kid about what it is and why it should not be done by them (at least at this age because it's not legal for them). However, we can't help out much because the ads will still run and we can't even block (or hide) it, such option should be there (but as it's TV, the master idiot box, nothing can be done because the ads are the backbone of these daily soaps, sports and whatever is shown on TV).

In your country the gambling was not regulated in the proper way,it may be the reason for the gambling advertising on the Television.If you are not satisfy with his ads,you can report same to the concern ministry.So they will help to short this in the shorter period of time,by the television adverting.Many innocent people will try this game for atleast once.If they use the 10$ for the fist time of the game.Kindly make the rough figure of 10$ with 5 million of people.It’s around the value of 50 million dollars to that website.This website was seems fishy,Rummycircle.Then the Rummy123 and A23 Rummy,for this gambler from India can try crypto based casino.

You can't lie to them forever, sooner or later they will realize that those ads are related to gambling and they'll conduct their own research to find out. I think the best way is to make sure that you don't watch channels that shows these types of ads when your children are present.

For example, just as you would avoid watching +18 channels on TV when your kids are around you should do the same with channels that advertise gambling regularly.

Gambling advertisements also exist even in kids show in Youtube. They appear without our control and most of them are indian ads. Honestly, we can't stop these ads but what we can do is just to remind our kids about the risks of gambling if they have the enough understanding to adapt our explanation. It is our responsibility to guide them and monitor their online activities. I have enlighten my kids about these gambling ads and they're just ignoring and skipping them from time to time.
