Is This the Answer to Address Gambling Harm?

[ultrloa]

Short answer is Yes, gambling ads can harm anyone and it can influence someone to go and try gambling.

But I have a debate with this from a friend and my arguments is that it depends on who is reading the ads. If you are that person who easily tempted and succumb to it, they it will harm you.

However, there are individuals who are not going to be affected by this ads, and will just laugh it off.

So it will only affect those persons that are vulnerable and weak.

You're extremely right, no matter how many times some people see gambling ads it will never be their problem, and cannot impact them in any way, except for weak and vulnerable people like you did mention.I don't know what triggers some people to make decisions concerning their lives because of little ads. If the person is a gambler before, and come across ads of new  physical or online casino and decideto try it, that a different case. But someone that decide or feel motivated after he come across that gambling ads online may be digging his own grave.

This one can actually cause a problem if the ads is so exaggerated and they claim there's easy richest here, also portray that gambling is just like a normal game.

Many people will actually got hook on it, particularly those people in need of immediate money. This is the reason why online gambling spread so fat, because there are lots of people choose to gamble their faith hoping that they can hit big and change their lives.

Reason why I'd see those action of government reasonable, since those counter actions they made eliminate those influencers, promoters and the casino use to fool people by their overblown or fake advertisements.

Of course there is always people who think that gambling is the easiest way to make money without them knowing that gambling is just a trap for those who doesn't know how it works, those who think is the easiest way of making money could be the one who may likely fall into prey.
That is why anyone gambling should know that gambling is not like as we think before because most of the games aren't provably fair as we may think, this made most people to keep focusing on sports betting with the hope that winning easily comes through that way.

There's a lot more in the link.
But I think the question will remain: Are the gambling advertisements really causing harm or not?

In my own perspective I do not see it to be that these gambling site are currently attributing to issues surrending the gambling industry as I believe that everyone has their personal choices and decisions on what to do and what not to do. As a matter of fact, there is no gambling site that do calls people to gamble when doing their advertisement on any platform or even on social media but it's left for everyone gambling to decide on their own on when to gamble, when to stop, how much to be used to gamble. Even if you looked at the gambling warning you would noticed that they also warned about underage gambling and they also lost out the minimum age to gamble.

From my experience, they're not causing much harm, maybe they are to impulsive gamblers, but not to casual and non-gamblers. In the past, before the advent of TV and TV commercials hosting these ads, there has been gamblers and gambling addicts. What is even causing harm in this era is online gambling and casinos—especially unregulated, no-kyc casinos—which makes it easy for underage individuals to gamble.

This research shows that what influences people (non-gamblers) into gambling are primarily peers and social groups. Ads only affect gamblers—especially impulsive gamblers—much more than any other person. This research highlights that exact point.

And these hold true because: from my experience, before I started gambling, I had no grasp on the various terms and options in gambling. I didn't know what over or under 2.5 was, I didn't know what 1 X 2 was, I had no idea about anything, and gambling ads can not give you these. These concepts were explained to me by a friend, and I was never for once influenced by any ad, and up until now, I'm not influenced by ads—I won't use my individual experiences as standard, but it conforms to the research stated above.

So yeah, ads while being harmful to impulsive gamblers—which they'll go ahead to gamble anyway, with or without an ad—is not all that harmful to a non-gambler or a casual gambler.

This is a complex and multifaceted issue. Of course, gambling advertising can push many people toward addiction. However, people who are so easily pushed into addiction will still, sooner or later, find the courage to immerse themselves in gambling. They have gaps in their correct worldview, and these gaps cannot be addressed in any other way than through controlled gambling experiments. All we need is more control over potentially addicted people and the prevention of financial disasters by limiting their bets.

To me I don't see gambling ads is a problem,my major concern are those faking it while doing the advertisment, whereby deceiving people into it ,many are addicted because they believed in wrong ads,and I feel that is what can caused the banning of gambling,some influencer are paid to fake their slips,which is the reason many gamblers believe they can do it if so so person can make it through gambling forgetting not everything displayed on social media are real .

However, there are individuals who are not going to be affected by this ads, and will just laugh it off.

So it will only affect those persons that are vulnerable and weak.

No one can tell as to which extent that gambling ads can affect people. It sometimes not really affect people but when it gets to the wrong set of people, it immediately shows the weakling in them and they immediately succumb to the pressure.

Gambling ads shouldn’t push you to want to do something’s that will affect your overall financial status to the downside, it will only bring about more trouble to the one already on ground. A safe gambling practice is the best and the show of this gambling ads often should also be accompanied with regular adverts of the disadvantages of gambling, this is one of the best ways to tackle gambling addiction practice.
