Gambling ads become part of daily life

[programmer3666]

Gambling and drug addiction are a perfect combination for driving someone insane or even slowly dying. I have a friend who is addicted to drugs and gambling. He is emaciated, mentally disturbed, and in debt, often resorting to loans to satisfy his gambling and drug cravings. His life is truly miserable.
Both are terrible addictions. Gambling addiction causes widespread problems, not only mentally and psychologically but also with those around him due to debt issues, for example. Drug addiction destroys health little by little. May we be kept away from these two terrible things.

You are right mate . There are some people around me who are addicted to gambling and drugs. They often bother me late at night to borrow money. Habitually they are addicted to online gambling. I will tell you about a gambler. He have won a lot of money in gambling. I know that. He is lucky. But he has spent the money he won in gambling on drugs. This guy has a family. But he does not take care of his family well. He is busy with gambling and drugs all day long. I have tried to explain him several times but failed. Such a person is very dangerous. I am sure that he will alowly get involved in various other crimes to collect money from drugs and gambling. I have not seen anyone who has been addicted to gambling and drugs and has been able to continue living a normal life. This is not possible.

Bro!! thatx really sad to hear and I totaly agree with you that once gambling & drugs mix thatx another comboo for everlastin distater.. it is almost impossible for a person to keep their life on track. even if they win money through that gambling, somehow it never really benefits them because it all gets wasted on drugs or trying to chase the next win again and that circle will just continue, it is more like being stuck in a loop of very bad habit and at the end of it all families and close buddies suffer the most in these cases and no amount of advice you will give seems to work when the addiction is already deep in them.. and truthfully you are right as long as they continues with same habit, it will eventualy push them towards crime just to keep feeding the habit..

Gambling companies have a responsibility to protect children and gambling addicts. They should not advertise on posters in poor towns and villages because people there have money problems. If they advertise in rich cities they should avoid schools and youth clubs. Gambling ads are a part of daily life for people who do not want to gamble.

Right, gambling companies are supposed to guarantee they have not targeting children and teens, that is relatively easy as there are spaces where children and teens are predominant. However, I am not sure what casinos are supposed to do when comes to gambling addicts.

Those gambling companies do not have reliable ways to know who is addicted to gambling and who is not. If someone gambles much on their casinos it could be just someone who is rich, not addicted to gambling. That is why self-exclusion exists and also declaration/proof of income; it is always necessary for the casino to have feedback from addicted gamblers, otherwise it is pretty difficult for the company.

You are absolutely right, and I would even add that gambling establishments should not only not place their advertising, but moreover, they should prevent even the slightest chance that children from poor cities or villages can become addicted gamblers. And this should be achieved by the fact that schools in such regions should conduct additional courses after school, at least for a few minutes, where the teacher will at least briefly talk about the harmful effects of online casinos or sports betting on immature minds.

I agree with you, if children receive careful education about gambling from their educational institutions, and understand the negative effects of gambling, then they will be motivated to stay away from it.
This can certainly be much more effective, it is necessary to create awareness through the education system to save young people from gambling addiction.
As a result, they will be alert to the negative effects of gambling and want to stay away from gambling, through this system, it is possible to reduce the amount of gambling addiction among minors to a large extent, it will be very effective.
No one can be forcibly stopped from gambling, that is why they have to be educated from within, so that they themselves decide to stay away from it.

I completely agree with you. And I think that these companies (casinos) cannot be justified by the fact that they pay huge taxes that go to maintaining everyday life and order in the country, because anyway, any story with a very dependent person is a very sad story.

I think it is possible for this companies to control and limit their gambling ads to some specific demographics but it will be very difficult to achieve this completely because this guys that own this companies are into the gambling business to make money and that makes adverts one of their strength.

They know that exposing gambling to children and poor people makes them even more vulnerable but the truth is that those ads will always find their ways to reach those audience either directly or indirectly because there's limitations to how specific you can target a particular audience.

For ads like the public banner placements and other online banner placements, it will always cover a wider range of audience than intended including those people who don't want to see them. A solution that can help but cannot completely solve the problem is when governments take more stronger steps by imposing stricter regulations such as limiting gambling related banners near school, poor neighbourhood or market environments and it is also very important for government to enforce more of Responsible gambling so even the rich are protected from taking decisions that they will understand.

Gambling advertisements are given not only in football but also in cricket or all other sports, which is currently having a great impact on the general public. According to my observation, especially those who like sports a lot and watch sports, they are inspired to play there after watching those gambling advertisements. Moreover, according to my observation, every social media platform has added all kinds of links to casino platforms in the videos. Nowadays, many people are active on social media and children also use many mobile phones there and by watching videos from there, they are getting to know about gambling and are getting attracted to gambling.
Although such propaganda is a very problematic cause for the youth of today because they go there to gamble for money, it is also seen that they do not have the attention of their studies but they are addicted to gambling. Although you have a lot of trust in Bitcoin mixers and it is not gambling and people will not get addicted to it, but it is money laundering which is also illegal.
Since it is currently banned from advertising on forums, people will play it since gambling is active, and those who can control themselves do not become addicted.

Though it should be a obligation of the person itself but it's going to be helpful if casino campany will prevent placing their ads where young kids will see them clearly, like posting irresponsibly they should take this as sole responsibilities though government should also accompany them providing right guidance, similar to what you mentioned, school can take extra time to provide proper information giving their students deeper ideas if what's await to those who will going to get addicted.

Gambling ads is not the solution to people's problems with gambling, as many have seen gambling as the way to how they can have fun and get more exciting moments playing games, which should always, there's no way we can go online today without coming across with anything that leads to the promotions of gambling by any form, while we shouldn't take ads as the only thing that can cause people from the society to bad behaviors.

That's right, in fact in my country it is prohibited to advertise gambling on public television, there are no billboards or large neon signs like in Las Vegas, but people still continue to gamble anyway, and I see parents who take their children to these gambling sites so I think that getting involved in gambling from an early age is more cultural than an external influence, since it comes from a social environment, although minors are prohibited from entering these sites, if they go with their representative, it is assumed that they approve of this, and the responsibility for the child falls on the parents.

I'm not so sure they're focusing on this. Land-based casinos are certainly not allowed to gamble with minors, but with online gambling, they could. Furthermore, it's now commonplace for everyone to have their own mobile phone, which likely has an internet connection, making it easier for anyone to learn about and engage in online gambling.
Perhaps all casinos should require players to complete a KYC form, especially with online casinos, where I clearly don't believe they know the exact age of their players.

Children, especially teenagers, are usually more technically advanced than some parents and often find ways to bypass various restrictions. In fact, the restrictions placed on websites are mostly just a formality. For children, this often looks more like a computer game, and unfortunately, they still lack the critical thinking needed to fully understand the consequences.

It is true, the restrictions imposed by gambling platforms do seem to be just a formality, that's why I think the government should be more assertive in enforcing its regulations regarding gambling. The government has the full authority to compel casinos to update their systems, making it difficult for underage children to make deposits. The government can also deploy financial institutions to monitor every transaction. I think all of this is easy to do because the government has the authority. Furthermore, parents are also responsible for guiding and educating their children, and should also limit their children smartphone usage.

Gambling ads are given for its promotion. This is a marketing strategy. And whether I participate in gambling or not will depend on me. If I get addicted to it or participate after seeing gambling advertisements, then I will understand that I do not have self- control.

Before participating in gambling , we must know what we are doing. Where are we investing our money. Personally I think we should not invest our money in gambling where winning or losing depends fully on luck. For this , I have chosen sports betting. It is possible to profit in the long run in sports  gambling if I am skillful.

Along with the spread of online gambling , we can also see the spread of gambling ads . And this is normal. If gambling is legal in my country, then where is the problem with advertising ? I do not see any problem in this. Rather, the country will be able to earn a large amount of revenue from gambling sites. But if gambling is illegal in your country, the state will take measures to stop advertising. There's no point in us worrying so much about this.

Platforms can't prevent users from registering for their services. All they can do is perform KYC. That's why many online casino platforms implement KYC. This is also part of a government-mandated effort to reduce underage users, as well as to prevent money laundering and other crimes. Similarly, third-party platforms can't handle ads if users provide false information, such as stating they're over 18. If ads end up appearing on the account of a user who is actually under 18, it's not the platform's fault, but rather the data they entered was false. Therefore, while governments and service providers can only anticipate this through regulations, the user is ultimately responsible for complying with or violating the regulations.

I don't believe further enforcing Know your Client on casinos will actually combat gambling among minors, not if it is done in the sake way it has been done untill now. Teens and children are not stupid and they are easily underestimated by adults, but they are very aware of ways to get the documents of their parents in order to fool the casino and continue to gamble and even withdraw money to private addresses.
The only way to stop gambling among the youth it would take casinos to enforce KYC in the same way exchanges do, using a live selfie camera to verify the identify of gambler real time after submitting their documents. Some casinos and regulators would be even further and activate the camera of devices randomly, for the sake of keeping children away from their games, only intended for adults.

The steps taken by the government in online casinos are not sufficient and it is also questionable whether it is possible for them to monitor it completely. A cell should be created through private organizations to increase surveillance and there should be a guideline on whether there are underage there and whether the casino developer are paying taxes to the government properly. The government of a country has to increase the source of income to meet its state expenses as a result of which they have to collect large taxes from casinos or gambling platforms so if their monitoring cell is stronger the government income will increase further. Personal responsibility should be on you in gambling and the responsibility of children should be taken by their parents, especially their smartphone use should be monitored regularly so that they do not get addicted.

Gambling companies should behave professionally and responsibly. If profits gamble company make are making their shareholders happy they must help poor people and children. If the companies invest some of their profit to help gamble addicts by funding rehab clinics it will help people in their communities.

The unfortunate thing about this is that wearing a signature here doesn't help get gambling ads to children as fast as other means of promoting gambling platforms does.

Do you realize what audience the ads on Bitcointalk are actually targeting?
Yes, kids are (most likely) not here - it’s not really their format. So who then?

I think many Bitcoin holders see their coins as a kind of treasure. Very few are even willing to use Bitcoin to pay for goods and services. Can you really expect that Bitcoiners will hand over their savings just for the sake of gambling?

After all, we already get enough adrenaline when the price swings.
