Tightening of gambling influencers etc.

[Royal Cap]

Gambling is prohibit here so the government will arrested gambling influencers if they live in social medias. Some influencers already taken to the police headquarters and being asked about their online streaming.....

In my opinion though, the government is also in a difficult position, Even if it is completely banned, online gambling does not stop and if it is suddenly allowed, then there is the risk of bad effects on society, So many times they attack influential people to make an example so that other people will be careful. I think it's not propaganda but lack of awareness of the people which is the main problem. As long as people, especially the youth, have an inclination to the dream of easy profit, gambling will find its way to them in one way or the other. Not only through laws but also by means of education and the creation of a sense of responsibility, the work will actually be fruitful in the long run.

I'm a little confused about what to call the title, but let's start with this sentence....

I'm quite concerned about the negative experiences of gamblers who experience negative outcomes, such as following bets placed by influencers and/or joining prediction groups or paying to join betting signal-sharing communities, with minimal returns, despite the methods they employ to encourage their audience to join such spaces without any clear outcome.

I'm starting to question this.
Does your country regulate gambling influencers, and can they be restricted by preventing them from providing signals or invitations to bet indiscriminately?
If not, should we propose to the government to regulate these influencers so they don't easily engage in such activities without clear standards, such as betting classes, etc.? This could be reduced if the government took more action in enforcing regulations against those who influence gamblers.

You won’t be able to influence these processes, because the influential people you’re talking about are often major influencers for casinos and other companies. They’re simply doing their job, most likely for money, that’s why you shouldn’t copy what they do. Every decision about your bets should be made by you alone, and you shouldn’t rely on anyone’s questionable showcase or promotional bets.

I think on his case, Gambling was banned in general therefore any influencers promoting it on their country is committing a crime regardless if they are influential or not since they are encouraging people to break the law by gambling.

What you said is happening in my country which online gambling is already on the brink of being ban and law enforcement is cracking down influencers that promotes gambling as way to discourage people to play online gambling and to protect minors seeing their content.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Some of these people are not really influencers, they are just self proclaimed prediction experts and they don't have their full identity exposed on their page, you would just see their page or groups on their Twitter or telegram but there is not correct information to let you know them,  some of them are also getting to know better know and they would write on their page that "this is not an investment or advice group." That statement is a disclaimer that can prevent them from landing into any issue.

Not at all. Influencers in my country are not regulated and they can pretty much get away with promoting or advertising gambling as much as they desire.
That is mostly because law enforcement innmy country is very ineffective on social media and on the digital space in general.

I believe it would be okey for influencers to advertise whatever they want, as long as they are not doing something illegal and their target audience is suitable for the service and product they would be pushing towards.

One thing with influencer is that they never force anyone to buy into whatever narrative they push out.  they do their part by portraying themselves as being able to more accurately predict the outcome of certain games. when they do so, you are the ones that goes after them even when you know very well that gambling is completely a game of luck. knowing this, are you going to blame the government or yourself for trusting another on the things you should on a normal day do on your own?

The government are certainly aware of how gambling works and knows too well that no gambler influencers forces anything on you. more over, gambling is for 18+ so presumably, before you get involved in it, it is assumed that you are able to make your decision on your own.

[Cityhunter34]

I don't think that the government will show interest on stopping these influencers or group because some are not known. Especially, the group or platforms. It's a matter of choice for you to join and believe in their predictions or not, it's not by force. Gambling is a game that's unpredictable and profit is made by luck. They have all the excuse to give the government if they're bursted. Highest the government will do is to task them.

You are absolutely right that's the real truth about it. Honestly, there's nothing to worry ourselves about this influencers because they are there for business which nobody has any right to stop them, as long as they are not forcing anyone to join their group chat or their prediction site there's no much deal about it. It's just unfortunate that some gamblers are still looking for someone's opinion because there's no guarantee of winnings in gambling it is a game that luck has the final say.

[Wakate]

The government can’t possibly handle everything. I mean, as citizens, we’re responsible for ourselves. Things like this are often considered too small for the government to step in because they believe individuals should be able to decide for themselves since we all have our own minds. It’s not like an influencer is forcing you to do this, to do that. If they were, then the government would take action. In the end, you have your own mind and your own decisions.

We all have the liberty to decide for ourselves what we want and how we want to do it. If you are a gambler and you have a particular gambling influencers you are following, that does not mean that everything the person post is what you are going to do.
You are not even supposed to use the same casino the person is using with you and you are not mandated to use his referral link.

Since social media influencers aren't forcing people or pointing guns at people's heads to join their prediction groups or pay to join their betting signal sharing communities, I don't think we should propose to the government to regulate influencers so that they would stop sharing tips that aren't helpful to people. Anyone that chooses to follow what any influencer is saying without verifying the statement to know whether it's legit, the person is fully responsible for whatever outcome he or she sees.

Is valid that influencers don't buy any means of arm forces gamblers into their group sharing tips but in their desire to advance towards profit making they are bound towards any such opportunity presented. Hence there's no force and the gamblers are no teenagers that should be said to not have reasoning of their own to have being said to be taken advantage of their cheer childishness. It's a responsibility every gambler owe himself to verify what information given before being moved by it.

I don't encourage the misgivings and deceits of influencers but I imagine that every gambler ensure to do their own verifications on information before accepting it.

In some countries gambling promotions done by influencers are regulated,.meaning that if the influencer uses his or her platform to advertise fake casinos or fake channels they would be arrested without delay. if this is implemented in every country influencers would be careful about getting involved in just because they want to get paid.

[Pandu Geddon]

Does your country regulate gambling influencers, and can they be restricted by preventing them from providing signals or invitations to bet indiscriminately?

For countries that ban gambling, there definitely won't be any place for influencers, because it would certainly be illegal for them to promote gambling sites on their social media accounts. But in countries that legalize gambling, there are likely no restrictions for influencers. However, the government might be able to limit influencers in creating promotional content for gambling sites. This means gambling can only advertise on platforms that are specifically monitored by the government, and not collaborate with influencers.

Governments barely regulate on gambling in general and therefore, to regulate its influencers or other promotional groups and platforms may be a serious task they may never achieve, because governments are not there with us on some of the platforms we go to and receives predictions, they are not going to be responsible even on any loss made either by self or through influence, because we are gambling at our own risk to have fun.

In my country not only gambling influencers, but influencers of all kind, were regulated recently. Among other measures, if they upload more than 20-30 contents per month and/or have above x visits (200k I think) they are subject to quite strict rules. In addition, back to gambling, they must announce explicitly that their content is promotional or contains ads, and they can only offer it to people over 18.

You are sounding like a victim here lol 🤣, well about stopping influencers I don't think the government have time for that because there are a lot that the government needs to do for the country after all, that is not illegal and I don't think they are forcing people to join their group and play their games but rather I believe and I think it is a thing of interest. Anyone who is interested should join and those who are not should stay and I am not a fan of joining group that share games because I know it is not guarantee and anyone who has joined has the right to exit the group if he or she is not getting what they expected.

[demonica]

Actually, gambling promotions by influencers here in my country is so rampant. These influencers are like your typical content creators but got an offer from gambling sites which pays well, so now they started to insert their gambling promotions in between their contents most of the time. Their fans don't mind it and actually even fall from their promotion. And what I really don't like about this is that some influencers don't mind what gambling sites they're promoting as long as they're getting paid. Some sites are red flags yet they still promote it to their fans. Another thing is that, a lot of these influencers in my country have minors who watch their contents yet they still promote gambling.

That's why the government should really step up and make a move on this. They should make a regulation that limits the amount of gambling promotion by the influencers. People nowadays are always on their social media and it's so easy to attract people to get into gambling with just one ad or promotion.

For countries that legalize gambling, it is appropriate to have regulations regarding it, just as the government prohibits some whales from making public statements that give buy signals in the stock market. By the way, why do you care so much about that? because I found out that you're from Indonesia & our country prohibits gambling, both offline & online.

[viljy]

I can't even imagine how it can be regulated. First of all, we need some laws that must be adopted based on criteria. But there can be no criteria other than the personal responsibility of the person who listens to the influencers. Why do we need any regulation at all? Maybe we need critical thinking instead of naivety? If a person believes every word of an influencer, then that person should be responsible for it. It's his choice.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

There are instances where the government cannot stand in gap for us, anything we do is at our own risk and will be responsible for whatever outcome it may be, when they even claim regulations, not at the best of our own interests this is being done, but for them to be able to generate income through gambling revenue, therefore, we should plan for ourselves and expect less from them as cover up for us.

[Findingnemo]

Regulate means restricting them from providing/selling signals? I would say even if the gambling is legal in a country still they should restrict content like that that influences people towards gambling because often they mislead people that they are living a luxurious life from the money they made from gambling but in reality it is lie and they should be punished for doing that.

And in my country posting any gambling-related promotional content is restricted, still they found creative ways to do it.
