Gambling ads become part of daily life

[Fuso.hp]

Gambling advertisements have become a common thing now. When you sit down to watch a game, the commercial breaks given in the middle of the game praise various gambling sides and encourage you to gamble. Many gamblers start gambling after learning about such new gambling establishments, and there are some people who did not know about gambling before, but after seeing the same advertisements again and again, they become interested in gambling and start gambling out of curiosity. Those who have no idea about gambling, those who start gambling out of curiosity, are seen to lose a lot of money by gambling. The only reason is that they are curious about a subject and do that subject, but they have no idea about that subject.

Even though awareness is good but in the end when you want to limit children about gambling now it is definitely not an easy matter. I don't know what television media and advertisements in countries that legalize gambling are like because in my country there is nothing like that (which you said) but maybe for social media it has more influence. But are we not minimizing that? Of course it can be done even though it cannot be prevented but in the end it can be minimized with some preventive measures for the supervision of our children so that they are not too polluted in gambling. It will not be completely prevented because it can only be minimized.
As for the signature issue, does this affect young children? Which child is surfing the forum because what I see now even though I don't know who and what age but when looking at the writings or arguments most of course we realize it is not a child.
If you are unsure about your decision I think you can be like some of the other people who actively contribute to the forum without the need for a signature because that can still be done.

I believe we all know someone problematic in terms of gambling, and it might have affected his lifestyle or something. Sadly, they're a lot of people who get addicted to it. I also have somewhat of a feeling like this, especially being part of a gambling signature myself.

I guess you just have to get used to it and just have reminders with your post to manage gambling if you ever were to invite someone to gamble.

Almost every sports including football's dominated by gambling ads. Casino ads are affecting ppl. Kids see it every where it isn't healthy. Billboard ads tv ads & online ads are every where. How's gambling affected you & ppl you know ?

I've got mixed feelings about renting my sig for gambling. I've done it because I wanted managers to consider me for other sig campaigns which aren't casinos when they're available. I'd prefer giving it to mixer sig campaigns but they're banned. I'm not sure how long I'll rent my sig like this.

I don't think it will be possible to stop kids from seeing gambling ads because it is there in the televisions for most sporting events. Our TV stations here advertise gambling platforms in their sports channels and we cannot stop kids from watching sports as a prevention from gambling. Besides, kids are not allowed to gamble until they are 18 and above. If you have kinds, your job is to ensure they don't gamble until they are of age, this will require you making extra effort to ensure they don't hide and do it.

By the way, if you don't gamble and don't feel comfortable advertising gambling, you don't have to wear the signature.

I would agree related promotion of shady gambling sites. Some of these are even exposed in coinmarketcap or in big football matches.
Gambling sites are offering a service like any other activity.
You can blame ANY industry on the earth for some shady business or whatever including religions (pollution, crime, bribery and so on)...but this is not a true reason for not supporting a business in some way.

Gambling ads almost everywhere which is something that we cant change but we can do something to minimize the negative effects especially for our kids.
We should educate our kids related to gambling, starting from what is this all about and what is/are the worse possible negative effects of gambling.
Once our kids are educated enough, it can minimize the possibility of them to get involved in gambling activities.
All in all, people are responsible for themselves so do not blame for other things that we see outside, we should have better/stronger prevention from ourselves in order to minimize the effect of anything that we cant change.

Gambling ads and discussion about gambling is now open because few years back peoples were not talking about few things openly, but now all is happening with many online channels are giving predications about matches which are also having good motivation for peoples to go ahead with their adventure of gambling.
Kids are having enough material to start this in early ages which is terrible for them and their future in many regions things are not controllable by authorities which are creating more problems because usually peoples under government officials are controlling, and they are having enough power to encourage more.
In few develop countries they are using this as industry and have enough taxes and other things which are helpful for them but in mostly countries its banned, but still illegally used by peoples which are increasing criminal activities.

Same here, That’s why I rarely post outside gambling board nowadays when promoting casino signature campaigns so that I can only advertise gambling on viewers that has interest on gambling not to those who don’t want to gamble initially.

We should always remind everyone whenever we post to gamble responsibly so that we will not be responsible if ever someone wants to gamble after seeing our signature space.

So far, there’s only few or close to none incidents here about gambling addiction.

Gambling is part of human nature, and without the ads, people will still continue gambling. I coukd remember when gambling wasn't this popular but was done secretly without exposing it to the government, more people still joined the gambling moving train. The only disadvantage of the gambling ads is that, it will have negative impact on underage by luring them into gambling.

As long as people believes that gambling is a way out of poverty or a means of making income, people will continue gambling. The casinos are legal and gambling is legal and that's why you're seeeing gambling ads everywhere.

It's hard to have preferences based on principles when you are online or just walking in a city. There will always be something that you don't like or that your kids will see, like gambling, alcohol, and cigars. The best approach for me is to ignore it and educate your children to ignore these things and concentrate on good values.
If you're living in a democratic society and it's an open economy, you'll be exposed to things you don't like or clash with your values, so you have to strengthen your values.

No one is forcing you to wear this signature it is your choice. If you are against it you can simply remove it even now and tell the manager it is all voluntary. Why do you think wearing a mixer signature is so much better than wearing a casino signature? After all mixers also launder money for hackers and other criminals. In that case would you not also be part of some negative perception of crypto? Casinos are a personal choice for everyone. Advertising will not disappear just because you change your signature or refuse to advertise it will exist with or without you.

What I find very disturbing is how some scam platform ads litres all over the place even in Google playstore. The moment you download some apps from Google play store, they will force you to accept display of adds when you use the free version, most of the adds are scam casino sites and they display them repeatedly. If no one find this disturbing, I really do, just that one is helpless because of using free version. It is becoming completely difficult to avoid gambling ads.

OP, what exactly you dont like? That gambling is advertised everywhere? If you stop visiting casino pages, gambling related topics, search engines would stop showing you gambling ads. If you think less about see gambling ads, you would stop noticing them If you think that gambling ads are bad because kids would see them, then I can name you bigger threat for kids health, beverages and fast food. Better try to close down that industry ads, because their spoil kids now, when gambling might spoil them only in future. Gadgets as well and ads became part of our daily life. What about them? Compared to gambling, they influence more minds.

It is never possible to stop gambling completely, and when a gambler becomes completely addicted to gambling, it is also very difficult for him to get out of this addiction, once a gambler is addicted, he will definitely face deep losses. And currently the influence of this gambling is deeply spread among the young generation, especially boys between the ages of 18 and 20 are deeply addicted to gambling. At this age, their interest in money is very high, so they take gambling as the easiest way for it, and that is why they enter the game of gambling for money and sink deeply into addiction.

Seeing gambling ads everywhere is not unusual anymore since it's already part of our daily life just like what you've said. The growing popularity of casinos (either physical or online) became a hit to many people especially to those who are looking for entertainment or a quick way to profit.

We can't deny that many or us are tempted to gamble because of the possible gains that we might earn. One of the reason why even some gamblers are in short of money, they still opted to use it in gambling because of their hope to double/triple it. Ads can encourage people to gamble but we should keep in mind the risk since there's no assurance to win.

On TV and even on the streets of many cities you see advertisements for beers, wines and women's underwear most of the time. You will also see that when female models advertise women's clothing, they are wearing underwear and this has become normal. On Instagram, nudity has become normal and many children today have Instagram. By this I mean that the world is changing very quickly

so it is up to parents to pay close attention to their children and restrict the content they can access on the internet. They should also explain to their children that they should not get involved in gambling while they are minors. Casinos are part of this: they always put up a sign that clearly states "no minors allowed." That is why I see no problem with casinos paying for advertising anywhere that the government allows it.

I like to gamble, but I never tell anyone, especially my family like my older sister. It's just that one day I heard her gambling and how happy she was when she won, this actually surprised me because I knew she liked to gamble, as time went by she always did it, actually it was her own right, only I was afraid that something unwanted would happen, especially since she already had children to take care of. What I thought was that she knew about gambling because currently gambling advertisements are everywhere, coupled with her own difficult economic situation, it was only natural that she was tempted by the victory in gambling so she did it. What's worse is that my older sister's husband also likes to gamble, this is concerning and worrying.

It is ok for you to be worried and that only proves caring for one another of course I know your fear which is the vulnerability of both husband and wife falling for gambling addiction. However, instead of keeping this all to yourself honestly it can be discuss as a family because no one will want any of his or her family members to become gambling addict, it is ok for anyone that is of age to gamble with the awareness of the negative impacts of irresponsible gambling habits, and we should always keep it in mind that it is wrong to approach gambling as a means of a passive income but for fun and entertainment, if husband and wife are both gambler honestly they should do well to keep it out of the knowledge of their underage children.

We can't go back to the 90's where advertisement where done orally by moving from place to place, only few companies where able to afford showing their ads on tv's. Now more technology have been introduced, ads can be done not just in tv's only but in other devices.

Gambling ads on mobile apps isn't a problem but it should done on specific apps that has to do with adults not apps for kids. This is where most companies are doing it wrong. Some don't care which website or apps they show their ads.

[danherbias07]

It doesn't affect my family nor my kids. Why? Because I still keep them innocent about it. Its best to keep it at that. I know at some point they will bump into gambling but as for now I'd like to avoid it as much as possible.

It's true that there are now too many gambling advertisements in different professional sports and kids are seeing them because the commentators are also advertising the gambling ads during the game. But as long as our kids don't know anything about it then I guess we are safe.

[Shinpako09]

If you're feeling guilty or it's taking a toll on your mental health, there's no need to endure it, you’re always free to step away. Right now, I don't see it having much effect on people in our community. We can't really do anything about the gambling ads anymore, and I believe that in the near future, we'll see even more of them, more frequently, not just online, but maybe even on posters or billboards along the roads. The best thing we can do is educate the next generation, especially our kids, so they don't fall deeper into gambling.

[traderethereum]

Gambling is just an entertainment so when people use gambling besides of that reason, they are wrong especially if they want to make money from gambling. Parents need to explain to their kids about gambling affect so they can understand and will not trying to playing gambling.

If we can parenting by explaining what it needs and they understand it, they will not tempt from gambling ads they see. They know the risk and the consequences that can happen to them. They will stay away from gambling.

If you feel it is not right for you, you can leave the campaign and not trying to join anymore. It is about a personal feeling you have which make you feel it is not right to do.
