Topic: Ads for online gambling should be banned. - page 3. (Read 1397 times)

But using Artificial intelligence in order to fake a celebrity endorsing a casino does not sound legit or even legal, to be honest. It is the kind thing celebrities could sue a company over.

Though, if the casino using their image is based overseas, it may be difficult to enforce law.

I personally do not think it is a big deal for famous people to endorse a casino, as long as it is clear their are being paid to advertise it and also the target public of just campaign is people over the legal age to gamble. Targeting teens and children is not acceptable whatsoever.

Or sometimes they are not even hiring celebrities. They are just editing the visuals of those people and letting AI do its job. Because those people like celebrities have the influence and many people would follow without even fact-checking. Sometimes, it's not always he content when it comes to advertisement. ambling companies just need exposure to the public.

Authorities must have thought it was okay already to advertise casinos and gambling-related ads on TV after all, the majority of people today don't watch TV news anymore but see it online and on youtube channels. If I have to choose I think I will just accept casino advertising on TV but not on social media like facebook or X.

Society always has problems with what to present to the people but everything being available online will have a greater effect if social media allows casino ads because even kids will be exposed to gambling.

I understand your concerns but as long as there are some people out there that win some money during their session then we cannot say they are really lying, which is why authorities cannot go against this type of advertising that does not lie directly but that lies by omission, because even if there are winning gamblers out there we must remember they are a minority and most of us which gamble for entertainment purposes lose money instead of earning it.

You can list Philippines as one of the top country that always being a victim by this kind of scam trick. Our influencers here even the popular one are engaging on this kind of cheap deal to scam casino jsut to get a huge pay grade through their affiliates. There’s a lot of scam casino here that become popular due to influencers promoting it through their followers.

Casino knew the fact that influencers is the new gateway now to get easy customers since they knew that followers typically just following whatever the influencers trying to promote just to impress their idol.

There are some gambling apps that are targeting users from country using celebrities.
They know that people blindly follow celebs and so they are hiring more celebs to promote their gambling apps.
All of these celebs are endorsing these gambling apps by saying that we can make easy money in it within minutes.
We all know that is not true and in fact we lose our money and this is the reason why I hate these gambling ads.
They portray that people win money but the opposite happens instead.

Well, in that you are absolutely right, because naturally a person when something is prohibited, I don't know, but the option always comes up that it has to be done, because it's like more exciting and because it gives more adrenaline to do it, now well what you give As an example of the tobacco companies, it is also an effect that occurs, in fact it is totally guaranteed that this will happen in this way, personally what I always do is highlight things, first, the gambling advertisements, casinos, Everything that you see that you see subliminally remains in people's minds, even if it's spam, it's something that's already marked there, because something very similar happened to me with a type of music, I didn't like it, but everywhere I was listening to it, and it seemed somewhat annoying to me, in fact, many people don't like that type of music, but I would find it on public transport, on the street when I was walking, when I sometimes went out to clubs Also, that was impressive, then the subconscious begins to record the lyrics, and one inadvertently begins to sing the song, even though it is not to our liking, but even so, one knows the song, that happened to me with a genre of music and currently I still like it, of course I prefer that music to the things that are currently out there, which I really don't consider music.

Something like that happens with the part of gambling, whenever I'm in any social network I get publicized about various things, but it's very easy, because I only see and that's it, few things I like, and according to that, well the advertising algorithm cannot determine what things I like, what things I don't like, that's how it is, there are people who are very obvious, what they like comes out, in my case I am very neutral, things that are in fashion that everyone The world likes it, well, I don't, I have some tastes and or other things where I am more selective, more than all sports, soccer and boxing, things like that, and well, people now are not so sporty.

And unsurprisingly the banning of gambling ads could bring a boost to the gambling industry, when governments went hard against tobacco companies and banned any kind of advertising related to it, tobacco companies thought they were going to encounter difficult times ahead, but surprisingly since they did not had to spend money on marketing they found out their profits increased, and a similar effect could happen in the gambling industry if such bans were implemented globally.

Australia isn't the first: starting last month, the Netherlands banned most online gambling ads. It's only allowed if the company can prove at least 95% of the target audience is 24 years or older.
The law doesn't mention if this only applies for advertising targeting the Netherlands, or all online advertising. Either way, just to be sure, I won't advertise gambling in my signature unless things are more clear. I guess they never considered the possibility of a Dutch person advertising online for an international audience.

Ads that appear suddenly make people curious, especially those who don't see ads like that often. They will click on the ads to see what will happen and if they end up visiting the casino because of the ads, they should shut down the site immediately. Otherwise, they will be even more curious about gambling and instead play gambling. This has already happened to minors because those who are active on social media must have seen gambling advertisements to make them visit casino sites.

That is clearly the case in your country, where gambling is prohibited but people still advertise gambling. I think this also happens in other countries that prohibit gambling, especially if they use the internet, where the internet can cross national borders and bypass regulations using a VPN.

That's why the government still has trouble blocking gambling developing in the country because people can use online gambling to gamble. And the government has not been able to find or track him down. In addition, some protect gambling or even make casinos illegal to get more money for them.

I kind of have to agree with him, because the gambling advertisements on television is becoming more and more like a spam attempt. The casinos advertisements are being shown over and over again.... and it is annoying AF.  

I think they should rather "limit" gambling related advertisements and not implement a blanket ban on them, because that will simply be unfair towards the gambling industry.

The spamming of gambling advertisements can have the opposite affect, if people see it too much, because that can irritate them.  

We gamble with pure intentions, and not the other way round, hoping to make extreme enormous profits, more like taking it as a multiple streams of incomes which will really have a negative effects on the gambler. Ads for online gambling should be restricted from addicted gamblers who will always possess the necessary tendency to gamble with every last opportunity they see, but it's impossible because the internet is accessible to everyone that have smart phones, computers or laptops. It's very important we know what we're doing in gambling, because it's basically not what we would imply to see.

For us, maybe it will be fine and don't care about the advertisements contained on social media, but some people also feel that these advertisements are only annoying because they appear suddenly and make what is being done on social media paused because of the appearance of advertisements which exists.
What is really regrettable is that when there are minors who access the internet or open social media such as YouTube or Facebook or even Twitter, they can see existing gambling advertisements and we ourselves also understand that underage children have a high curiosity, so they are at risk to open or visit the casino contained in the advertisement.

That's not how it works because in my country gambling is clearly prohibited and has laws stated in the country's laws but in reality there are lots of streamers and also gambling advertisements are still rampant and free.
The government will never make such an agreement with gambling business actors because in a government system there are rules that are still under law and regulated by law, but indeed there are some unscrupulous people who have high positions in their government to protect or cover up any action regarding the gambling industry due to the large amount of security money they can pocket for those illegal licenses.

It probably won't affect other countries now but there's a possibility that it might happen soon. Most advertisements that would be hit would surely those that are in the mainstream media and perhaps video content produced by content creators. Ad banners would still be a thing because that is really hard to combat.

Going back to video content creators, I see a lot of them still promoting the same gambling content despite restrictions on gambling itself. Take the Philippines for example, there are some regulations and orders against online casinos in general, but huge content creators continue to advertise these under their channels as if mocking the law. Well, the problem isn't the gambling casinos paying these folks to advertise, but the law not really taking its grip in its policies hence why these gambling content creators continue to advertise and get paid scot-free.

I don't know, but I think this regulation will only apply in Australia and probably won't have an impact on this Bitcointalk forum.
In the article you shared I saw that the main focus on the news was to remove the ads that appear on their sports broadcasts, and they said to remove or focus on the problem of gambling ads that often appear in public places that are often seen by Australians such as advertisements and sponsors in every sporting event in their country.
Meanwhile, advertisements for casinos or gambling places on this forum cannot be seen or are not displayed directly to the general public in that country.

OP, the news you provided was only banned by parliament in Australia on online casino and gambling advertising. However, while this may be a temporary inconvenience in Australia, this ban is not likely to affect the entire world. Australia may have some positivity behind banning online gambling and casino ads, but countries that have legal permission for casinos and gambling from the government will not ban online ads.
However, BitcoinTalk's casino and gambling sides will not be adversely affected whether or not Australia bans online gambling and casinos. Those who are regularly active here mainly depend on the updated news of the whole world.

There's no way on stopping it and we've seen with those bans every corners but it would really be definitely be depending on a certain country on which whether their government is really that seeing that gambling is already affecting their citizens that much or would really be focusing into the revenue and taxes that it do give on which it is really that something that they would really be prioritizing rather than with their citizens possible addiction kind of problem.So this would vary and if things turns out to be banned then gamblers would really be finding ways for them to alter out and make those engagement without being detected.

In todays era and year of technology on which it is really that easy to bypass if ever you would really be tending to play despite of being banned.Therefore, we cant really be able to stop
if ever someone do have that kind of addiction and if you do find yourself being that affected with these ads then its better to ignore or would be blocking out these things
so that you wont really be that making yourself get attached or getting involved with.

And this is an example that show us again why banning is seldom the answer, as it does not matter how smart politicians think themselves to be companies will always find a loophole they can use to take advantage of the situation and continue mostly unhindered by those regulations, what it needs to be done is to create a campaign that alerts people from the dangers of gambling in excess and part of the taxes they get from casinos is used to help to those that have developed an addiction, but besides that there is not much we can do about it.

Well, about Facebook not advertising casinos, I don't really think that works at all because I can clearly see local online casino apps getting promoted every day on Facebook and I don't understand what's their criteria for not allowing gambling ads on their platform because these ads are clearly related to gambling, maybe they have filters only for global platforms or the ones which are successful, or maybe they have certain keywords banned and these advertisers are not using them.

About governments banning gambling advertisements, I believe they can easily do it if they want, but as you said, most governments have other things to take care of and this is not that big of a concern for them, and if gambling is legal in a country, the government will also be getting taxes from them.

Illegal promotions had also happened in many countries and they keep doing this.
And to the point that gambling is not allowed online, then they'll offline. But for me, banning is meant only for those who have no permits or illegally operated but those who comply with the necessary permits, I don't think so. Because as long as it abides by the rules of advertising, that was still okay and so the advertising companies must be strict with that kind of promotion so whatever happens, they will take the blame.
