It seems like they want to ban gambling ads, because recently even up to the present, the promotion of ads on special media platforms like Facebook is so rampant, I'm really surprised that Facebook just lets you while many young people and minors see those gambling ads.

It would be okay if it is promoted in the right place that no minors can see. Even if we say that this is just business, there should be something to consider for the sake of those who are not yet in the right age.
This is is going to be very difficult to do, I mean it should be done but when those kids know more about how to use their smartphones than their parents then any measure that could be implemented to try to keep those gambling ads away from them has the potential of being circumvented by a great deal of them, and when we consider that now even video games have some gambling mechanics then this is even harder to do as you will need to regulate almost anything that touches the hands of minors.

It's pretty hard to ban something that makes a lot of money. In many countries gambling has been completely banned for years, but we cannot say that the citizens of these countries do not gamble. In my opinion, instead of banning something, we should offer people an alternative, and free of charge. In my opinion, even increasing the level of education among the poor can reduce the level of gambling addiction much more than banning gambling advertising.

Yes, that's what would happen if access to the forum is banned by the government of that country. Users will know how to handle the situation through the shared application, so there's no need to worry. The government aims to combat gambling advertisements on social media applications to protect minors from exposure, but limiting gambling itself is unlikely because it generates significant revenue that the country needs to manage its affairs.
Governments are right to have concerns about gambling advertising if the impact it has has has had on so many young generations. Of course I'd be happy to say it makes sense to do so if the ad is a direct ad on a sporting event, but maybe not about a forum ad.

After all, the government has blocked many online casinos so far so some of the gamblers will have limited access to them. Even if they wanted to bypass that restrictions then obviously they would have to use TOR or a VPN which in the end would very likely be the start of the problem of why some accounts and winnings were frozen.

It's possible that certain countries or regions may impose restrictions on the promotion of online gambling platforms, including those on Bitcointalk.
What kind of restrictions? Only what can be effective is for a country to ban gambling directly. The gambling sites on this forum are not even providing gambling services to people in the countries that ban gambling. But as for gambling ads or gambling promotion, that is not going to work. People will always visit this forum as long as they have their VPN and Tor on their device.

Despite the country specific debate, it does seem like limits for gambling advertisements are coming down the chain. Similar to how you can show alcohol consumption in television ads in the US or flat out banning of cigarette advertisements on TV, I could see in the future regulators wanting to curb any sort of gambling advertisements as well and not just is Aussieland.

Why should they be banned? Moreover, those who already have a license from a regulatory provider, they have the right to advertise where they are allowed to market them.
Except for platforms that don't have a license, advertising should be banned and even operations should be banned.

As long as the gambling platform is carrying out its obligations according to the regulations in force in the country they operate, of course it would be a stupid choice if the government banned the advertisement, instead of banning the advertisement I think it is better to limit the places where the advertisement is carried out, that is far better than banning it completely.
Governments can in fact regulate the ads which can be displayed even for legal businesses and most of them have a regulatory agency completely dedicated to this, as businesses like to take any advantage that they can and they can exaggerate out of proportion the benefits of their products, so it is not surprising that we are seeing some countries getting worried about gambling ads as the growth of online gambling during the previous years has been amazing.
The government does have the authority to limit this and they have a surveillance team that can block gambling if it violates the rules set by the government, that's easy if they work well.
the level of development of online gambling is very significant The increase, I also have a friend who has his own gambling platform, and he manages to earn money in one month up to $ 20 million every month from the losses of his players, of course that is a not reasonable number as a gambling provider without a license and the game only relies on advertisements from facebook adds and from streamers only, which triggers people to play on their platform.

s/amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/28/ads-for-online-gambling-should-be-banned-in-australia-within-three-years-inquiry-recommends]Ads for online gambling should be banned across all media and at all times within three years to combat the manipulation of an “impressionable and vulnerable audience”, a parliamentary inquiry has recommended.

After months of debate about betting ads, including the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, labelling them “annoying” and the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, calling for a ban on ads during sports matches, the inquiry has provided a blueprint to shut them down entirely.

If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos? As we all know most established and new casinos come to bitcointalk to launch their ANN thread and carry out signature promotion campaigns which can be regarded as ads in a sense. If ads should be banned will their promotion in Bitcointalk also end?
@Saheedu, i want you to understand that the bitcointalk is made up people from different parts of the world and from your statement i think the ban  is only applicable to those that are residents of Australia, and the prime minister of Australia doesn't have any legal right to ban the ANN thread from the bitcointalk, maybe the forum might only adjust their policy and restrict residents of that particular country from viewing the ANN thread if need be, which I don't think is likely to happen.
 The thing is different countries review their constitutions and set ban on things they see as threat or not right for their society on the other hands the government benefits from those gambling sites  through different means so I feel they'll later come to an agreement to make amends of those odd advertisements that promotes addictive gambling and also using illegal means to promote gambling but one thing I'm sure of is that a government can try to implement laws that would restrict illegal advertisements but it would be quite difficult to stop people from gambling because it's addictive, you can only encourage them to quit but can't stop them forcefully.

But as for gambling, there are a lot of government around the world is that totally against it. So maybe we can't see those ads anymore or anywhere. As compare to smoking and cigarette ads that are everywhere and even minors have access to it.
In some countries, smoking cigarettes is permitted, yet in others, it is considered abusive and strictly outlawed. Gambling does not send a pure message to the public; rather, it is used in a wicked manner to transmit a contrary positive viewpoint message to individuals, who get more inquisitive to place a wager in order to benefit from specific advantageous elements implemented in the gambling system. Ads for online gambling are another source that spreads gambling awareness to the public; imposing a tight prohibition on these online ads will benefit society by lowering threats, pending debts, and saving innumerable gamblers from liquidating their accounts.

That's part of solution maybe we can't see a huge effect on it since there are still people gambles but still its good initiative already since they can study how their regulation goes. If it happens the number of addiction has still rising up maybe another solution will be placed and maybe we. n see them issue a total ban if they see that their last regulation didn't seems effective and they need to level up their actions and put total end to each casino platform to lessen up the damage  brought up by wrong perception about the casino.
I don't know how the rules in Australia are regarding gambling in general. Maybe the regulation has leeway with funds that can enter the state treasury. The government earns revenue from casino operations in accordance with the legality that has been approved. Gambling cannot be prohibited even through government regulations, advertisements will still appear everywhere, especially on each cell phone. You've seen it right? then refer to government policy on whether gambling is allowed. In fact, the advertisements are still running around and the only people who can stop them are the individuals themselves.
The government earn a lot of money from gambling and for the government to put an end to it, it will be very hard unless the Senate decided to take it personal and create law that will be ban gambling ads. If the government have to ban gambling ads then there will be a need for them to ban gambling too so everything will end like that and casinos will not find a means to advertise there business to the public. That is the only way gambling ads can be ban when gambling activities are ban to so that people will not go and look for casinos to use and make bets. Could this be possible?

They don't have to ban the ads, they just have to make the general public think twice in gambling before spending any money. This can be done by placing negative advertisements or emphasizing the negative effects of gambling. They did this in every cigarette packets and there's really no reason for them not to try this. It's way easier since the government won't have to lose profit at all as they also get taxes from this industry. Bans are sometimes not a great solution as you'll be foregoing revenue with it.
Imposing more taxes is also a good idea, like the cigarrets, which is why they keep getting more expensive. It is a really good idea to have an advertisement about not gambling as it can lose you money or even your life, but again, this is difficult if there are no regulations on this because it shouldn't be only on the platform that needs to do it. Again, a casino is a business, and there's a ton of money involved in it, which is why it is better if a big person or organization implements it.

Wearing a casino signature means you're promoting the casino, if you're an Australian citizen, actually you're broke your country laws. But do you think Australian government will care and catch you? nope, the highest payrate of signature campaign in this forum is $150, such amount is just a peanut for them and not worth to take a serious action. Bitcointalk is also an underrated forum, not really high like reddit, so it make the government won't care about you.
What if they make all of the activities regarding gambling banned even on underrated forums like here? I don't know if there are really Aussies here that probably wearing signatures for the sake of $150/week, I think that's too low for them, just saying. I think signatures are part of an advertisement if you're being paid for that, yeah, you really represent them and I agree with you.
Bitcointalk is not underrated anymore because Bitcoin and cryptos are now mainstream. Not all Aussies are rich and not all have a job. What if they are only a kid or a teen? $150 is already a nice amount for them. I think it's allowed if you're an Australian citizen and you are only promoting a casino online. Being online is not a country-specific.

I remember there's even Chinese people who migrate on other countries only to open a gambling business because gambling on their own country is illegal. As long as their business on other country is legal or has a permit, they won't experience any issues anymore. As long as ads are not evasive and will only pop out depending on our interest, then I see no problem with that.

We have to review the gambling regulations and gambling advertising rules in Australia, you need to know that gambling is not prohibited in Australia but gambling must comply with the regulations that have regulated the gambling industry, even gambling advertisements are not prohibited but the regulation of gambling advertisements is too strict because the government expects activity gambling does not have a negative impact on the public so that gambling regulations are very limited and the government always supervises gambling activities.

I appreciate the regulation of each country because the government is trying to prevent gambling addiction which is difficult to stop and even difficult to recover if the perpetrators of gambling addiction have been affected psychologically, so gambling regulation is strict to prevent negative influences on the public and new generations will continue to lead the nation in the future.

At the end of the day, it is all about balancing- balancing the interests of the government to generate revenue for the betterment of society; and balancing the interests of the citizens to live a life free from all social norms, pressure, and addiction.
That's the point, sometimes the gambling industry creates dilemma considerations while the government wants to keep state revenue. I don't know if online gambling also contributes a lot to that.

However, when it comes to advertising methods, I think they are unlimited. While lately there have been a lot of hidden advertisements in various places (review and rating sites, livestreaming, short videos, etc) so that internet users will not be able to completely avoid the visibility of online casinos.

Here is something very clear, the business model is good for many, both Google and the casinos themselves, it is known that if they invest a lot in public they will have good results and that is something that is noticeable in any Business , in I personally have not seen many casino ads as advertising , very few.

When I connect to the internet despite the fact that I frequent stake.com, bitcasino.io, among other casinos , it is because when I navigate in the Browser it is to get Notifications from the casino, but it is not like that, it is strange , maybe my security is high And it doesn't Allow ads like this either , but on YouTube if I frequent casino strategies for slots , roulette, among others, casino advertising doesn't bother me, I think the industry continues to grow.

Now, as for advertising, I don't know about you , but it seems to me that on YouTube they are very interested in advertising ads, whatever, you see a video and it comes out, then it becomes clear that things when advertising is money for Everyone , this is Something that Cannot be denied , in part People always look for a way to win.

Gambling ads and gambling is two different matter. Gambling ads problem is making vulnerable audience exposed on this kind of activity while they should be not playing. Gambling on the other hand can operate freely without any ads to don't harm them unless they seek personally.

Gambling exist for a long time while online gambling ads is just recently become trending. The issue being tackled are to protect vulnerable audience and not to decrease gambling exposure of the Australian citizen as whole.

Government is the one who benefits all of it, they can earn taxes and use it in either funds or personal use . Ads are everywhere now and it can't be avoided , social media platforms are okay with it, they can earn a lot as well . It is a win-win scenario for both of casino owners and social media owners. You cannot control things that is being cannot be controlled, gambling is a business too.
