Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion.

[Blitzboy]

Ads, ads, and more ads, they're everywhere! Its practically impossible to shield the kids from all these ads. And gambling ads? Well, they are the most dangerous. What can we do, right? Ads on TV, ads online, ads everywhere the eye can see.

There is no avoiding the truth: commercials promoting gambling will continue for the foreseeable future. So, what are we going to do? Let's not keep these things a secret from our kids or tell them lies about them. Deal with it directly.

You should explain it to them, warn them about the risks, and assure them its not a magical land where money grows on trees. While we're about it, let's start advocating for less advertisements related to gambling, particularly during family watching hours.

You should explain it to them, warn them about the risks, and assure them its not a magical land where money grows on trees. While we're about it, let's start advocating for less advertisements related to gambling, particularly during family watching hours.

Advertisements about gambling sites I think is one of the most ads we now see on our screens and sometimes it pops up during important and educative TV shows that are being watched by all even children. Though at the end of the ads, they'll still let viewers know that gambling is solely for people of 18 years and above but that won't stop some children from participating from it. Young minds are believed to very inquisitive and always want to do what they've never done before and sometimes they end up ruining their future because of the fact that they really want to do what they've never done before. So I think it not good to be displaying such ads during the day when children will definitely be watching the screens so it doesn't expose them to gambling before they reach adulthood

[naira]

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?

What is a lottery? because I think this is part of gambling, so why can it pass the advertising services inspection and have sponsors? Of course I see it often, in fact every day there are events such as guessing, choosing a set of boxes that have number symbols in them, there are big prizes if you are lucky. Isn't the concept of gambling in it? they don't realize it or it's just that there isn't the word gambling in the title of the show.

Now this is the government's inconsistency, openly prohibiting this type of gambling but it seems they forget that gambling can be in any form and if we understand the concept of gambling and the game we will smile at what we see on television, even small children watch, this concerns guessing, betting to exchange a number for another number.

This type of hidden gambling is packaged in such a way and displays concepts above the concept of gambling.

Not on television but on YouTube. I don't think you can control it when it's on the local channel.
But if it is on YouTube then there's a solution. Make them their own accounts that are controlled by you. That's the only way you can avoid this. YouTube only gathers information from your watch history so you don't want to mix whatever you are watching with theirs. If you only have one television then don't forget to change accounts whenever you are using it. That way you can still watch whatever you want without infecting theirs.
I think I have erased and blocked a lot of history with my kids' accounts just so they would not see content that is not for their age.
Or, you could just use the other feature which is only for kids. Mostly cartoons or people who made kids content. There's no bad advertisements there.

[Xxmodded]

Depend with country regulation about gambling is legal or an illegal platform, based on in my country gambling is illegal platform never see any advertising on TV with gambling platform but they try to advertise trough an illegal way by social media platform. I don't think efficiency when advertising gambling platform on TV because due fastest of technology development right now social media platform like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and other platform more benefit to get interest for advertising of gambling than TV.
Some countries have regulation with gambling they will not allowed for advertising on TV for gambling platform in productive time, usually will show or advertise on TV when late due protecting from children or TV programme for adult not for children.

[mdzahed134]

Although gambling is illegal in my country and it’s strictly prohibited by the government, but i have seen a lot of times especially some local TV channels advertising gambling platform as like 1xbet and it’s also mostly promoted site by the social influencers in Facebook & Youtube. And it’s very common to see gambling advertisements in the International sports channels.

Whether it a lottery or anything related to any form of gambling activity there will definitely be prohibitions and regulations regarding advertising on TV broadcasts because the government is also unlikely to allow TV channels that have shows promoting gambling even though gambling is legal in that country.
Gambling advertisements can have a bad impact on the development gaps of children or those who are still students because they will make them curious and then try to gamble.
Gambling advertisements have been numerous and spread on social media so it is impossible to get permission for advertising on TV broadcasts because some the state really limits it.

Now this is the government's inconsistency, openly prohibiting this type of gambling but it seems they forget that gambling can be in any form and if we understand the concept of gambling and the game we will smile at what we see on television, even small children watch, this concerns guessing, betting to exchange a number for another number.

It not surprising that the government doesn't really have strong consistency because some individuals will take advantage of situations like this to make money by asking for taxes.
Or maybe what is meant is a charity lottery which is implemented by several countries but I can't help but wonder if they have different thoughts about this because if you think about it logically all forms of activity that involve risking money or valuables is gambling.

As a kid, I honestly doesn’t care about the odds since I don’t know most of it especially those foregin odds when watching international channels. It’s not a big deal if your kids watch it for as long as they didn’t know it and they don’t care. The only time it will alarming is when they start asking that’s why most of the channel with that kind of ads usually have a parental guidance logo.

Gambling ads is very popular on sports channel here which I’m always watching. There’s kids and parents in my family that watching same sports with me but they never ask about ads but rather annoy about it since everyone focused on the sports we are watching and not the ads.

Most kids won’t be attracted to these types of advertisements. I know I wasn’t. Cartoons and such are more likely to attract little kids than gambling advertisements on TV. I don’t even know if kids watch TV anymore.
Gambling ads I’ve seen are mainly on sports channels and i really don’t see any problem with that. If allowed, they should be free to advertise their service like any other business. Parents should step up more in their observation and interaction with their kids.

A lot of people would probably be slightly annoyed and impatient when watching a show at advertisements being played over and over while eagerly waiting for the show to go on. Ads during a great show is also a great time to refill on snacks.

The government can only regulate local television programs, for international programs, football matches or certain sports are recognized as legal and are sometimes sponsored by large casinos, advertising is very normal but usually, it's just quite small ads, it feels like their government also has relative regulations to somewhat limit the impact of gambling. And I think these are just small strategies of casinos, they mostly target internet platforms and free areas like social networks, TV does not leave enough gadgets for a user to be impressed with gambling

[Ojima-ojo]

Gambling ads are not regulated in my country, you can see gambling sites ads on YouTube, social media and local TV channels. This is not good for the kids but there is nothing that people that have no say in the country can do about it and most people that wish gambling ads to be regulated fall into that category.

Just like political posters and billboards so is gambling advertisement in the capital city of my country also, although i dont know whether or not gambling is regulated over here but then we have the responsibility to divert our kids attention from things that we believe that are harmful to they mental well being at that time.


But so much so, in as much as we try to do that, there are chances that earlier education can help in this direction because when you observed that your kids can comprehend some reality you can expose them to little inside experience and it dangers, in doing so you are helping to shape they mind against the future and wether we like it or not, we are going free them at some stage of they life to experience and explore they world.

Tell your kids the truth. Let them know how gambling can dangerous, especially for kids but everyone though. Use life occurrences of people that gambling affected negatively as examples. Children do listen.

Some time we have to play some documentary on the dangers of gambling addictions to the kids to let tgem know what awaits anyone who allows himself to slide into gambling addictions.

[killerfrost]

I think it's simply that the parties find a voice in using the service with each other. One time while accidentally using it during lunch, I accidentally turned on a channel with content introducing online gambling.
At that time, people claimed that in convenient times they could advertise anything, but children didn't care much, so sometimes we were afraid of the problem of accessing information in the next generation, but It seems that it is just an objective view. Wishing good things for everyone, I believe that as long as the product is suitable for the age content, it will be interesting for them to appear a lot.

[erep]

While watching TV with my kid, I've watched various advertisements of gambling nature (let's say for example, Rummy123, RummyCircle, A23 Rummy, etc.)

I suggest that you quote government regulations or policies that prohibit gambling in India, because we do not know in detail the policies of each country with different regulations. I am looking for information regarding the gambling policy in India which only prohibits gambling advertisements on television but gambling advertisements in print media, social media platforms and other media are still allowed, you can correct me if my explanation is wrong so that we know the actual policy that applies in your country .

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?

If you watch cricket with your children, you must teach your child to focus on sports techniques and teach him to ignore the gambling advertising boards in the area around the field. If you often find gambling advertisements during match breaks, then switch to another broadcast to avoid children watching gambling ads on television.

At what age do you think the kids should learn about gambling games?
I did learn to gamble when I was a kid playing cards with friends and scratch cards. It isn't really serious money as they were just dimes. It still developed our social life as a kid but this is the time when we don't have internet yet.

This time around the kids can download apps and can find out how to make money online which they will be interested in once they need money. I wouldn't be surprised if they sign up on onlyfans and that would be more disturbing.

Yes, with the easy access to the internet, kids can easily learn how to play. If interest catches their attention, they can just watch tutorials
from social platforms and start playing, we can't deny the fact that even the emerging technology really helps to update our life.

But there are always other side effects of this system, without proper guidance and without that closeness to your children. It's not by far that
their young minds can be corrupted and lead them to an early addiction problems.

Well, since you are talking about YouTube, International channels and social media in general, it makes sense that you are seeing those advertisements, regardless of the political position of your administration on gambling.

Though, it would be a completely different situation if those channel where you notice the ads were from your own country, that would show some serious corruption and even lawlessness going on in your republic.

Also, not surprising it is 1xbet. They rely much of their resources in ads both on TV and on social media, since their product and quality cannot positively talk for themselves, they need to pay to create a positive facade in the eyes of the unsuspecting public.

In general, perhaps young children will not be attracted by gambling advertisements that appear on television channels. However, if advertisements are shown frequently and repeatedly, to a small extent this will stimulate their (children's) thinking, making them curious about gambling. And it would be good if advertisements like this were only shown at certain times, such as in the middle of the night, when there are no longer any small children watching television because they are already fast asleep. So that gambling advertisements are shown specifically to people who are old enough.

Advertisement like this is common in football channels, and some few channels, since gambling is legal in my country so nothing can be done about it, they have the right to advertise anywhere they want, but as a parent, you should be the one to caution the young one’s which you are having, if you can lock those channels( add parental control), you can always unlock it whenever you know they are not around, or maybe you can just tell them what gambling is all about and the necessary things which you think they should know about gambling, because you can’t keep on hiding those channels forever, and you can’t keep on lying to them forever, just educate them and tell them the necessary things which they should know.

It cannot be denied that the influence of easy internet access can impact children. They can find any tutorial via YouTube and then try it. His parents didn't even know how to play the game until his parents had to watch the videos too. And children must be accompanied when they are watching any tutorial on the internet so that they can really understand it. Without guidance from their parents, they may get badly influenced by the internet, and if it is gambling, the impact will be even worse when they experience gambling addiction problems.

Kids are even smarter these days and are more aggressive especially when they think it's quite interesting and exciting. That's why I'm just thankful that gambling ads on television here in our country are not practiced. Otherwise, they will surely explore early gambling as well. But what's the most important is, parents should be there always when these kids have doubts in their minds, and should be prepared all the time to motivate these kids not to try things that are considered illegal for their age.

[royalfestus]

I discovered that several factors play a more significant role in initiating the habit of gambling than television and other forms of advertising. These influential factors include the family environment, peer pressure, accessibility, and the personality trait of risk-taking. These proximate factors can exert a strong influence on behavior, much like any other habit that can become addictive.
