Crypto gambling and casinos was well hidden to someone like myself, in the past years the only valid gambling platform I know is freebitco and that's because of their free faucet, if not I wouldn't know that such a platform existed.

Coming on this forum and seeing some high rank members promoting casinos was what makes me to be curious about using crypto to gamble online, and I started my gambling journey through Roobet at first then I started trying others out too.

I think the level of casino advertisement online right now is still well hidden and not available everywhere online, you will have to develop gambling interest in mind before you go looking for one yourself, that's how we'll hidden gambling ads are online, it could be different based on location maybe, I don't know.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope

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.

Well that's Australia for you, maybe they are aware of the bad impact of gambling on their citizens, most especially the young ones, but honest they care that's why they are doing this, other countries are gaining a lot from casinos and they don't care what that is doing to their citizens of the country, still this won't stop anyone in that country from gambling, they already know about it and people can still influence other people to try their luck with gambling, if they really want to stop this, they should ban gambling in the country.

The government of the country can come up with a better idea of letting it's citizens know more about gambling responsibly, I read the news and it's saying that gambling is all about winning some and losing more, and that's accurate, I believe there are ways they can prepare their people to limit or gamble responsibly too.

In the Philippines, the gambling industry generates the 3rd highest revenue for the budget of the government annually. Though there may be lots of negative impacts of gambling, there are also some positive impacts that greatly affect others.

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.

This is but a problem for the government to resolve in order to satisfy both ends of the stick. I do think that there is a way in order to minimize the destructive effects of gambling but it takes two to tango- both the citizens and the government must strictly comply with the said rules and requirements.

They probably find banning ads more easier and convenient than hosting seminars, doing events, and spreading messages about responsible gambling, etc. And, I believe they are just against online gambling which might also have something to do with cryptocurrency gambling since the whole world knows how popular cryptocurrency gambling platforms are becoming which might not be what the authorities want since it will make their citizens use cryptocurrencies.

We all know that a lot of countries are indirectly against cryptocurrencies and the blockchain movement, so they don't want cryptocurrencies to be used in their country by their citizen because they believe it provides them financial freedom and they will have private and secure storage of wealth.
On the one hand, we have "ease" and "convenience", essentially political inaction masquerading as action; on the other hand, we have the complexities of “educating” the masses about the perils of online gambling. Indeed, your argument has me flummoxed - both amused and puzzled, or as I call it, "super-baffled". Nevertheless, we can't ignore the crypto elephant in the room. Cryptocurrency gambling platforms do pose a quandary for authorities, given their rising popularity. Yet, this fear you suggest, that embracing crypto equals relinquishing financial control - is it substantiated? Or merely another case of the old guard fearing the new? After all, the promise of crypto is financial liberation for all, a kind of "financial democratization", if you will.

It's already passed down to generation to generation, there's even new gambling games that are popular locally or internationally like casino. As the thread concerns about its advertisement of course it would be affected from the specific place only but for sure the bitcointalk forum wouldn't be affected from it. Gambling especially new sites would needed ads for them to be introduced to its new customer or player. Since in the social media it would be easier to use ads to spread the word about the new casinos.
The Bitcointalk forum is not related to anything and is independent so the ads still appear. But for other places, especially offline places, the government can prohibit or regulate it so that only adults can gamble. And what is difficult to regulate is the spread of gambling advertisements on social media because it is related to the social media service site. Hence, the government needs to take different approaches. But now there are a lot of gambling advertisements appearing on social media so people have to be more vigilant and maybe they can filter out the types of ads that will appear on their profile page.
Bitcointalk is like a TV or other electronic device which is only a place to see whatever is in the show and if advertising or anything happens with the broadcast it is not the fault of the TV or we cannot sue the TV not to advertise gambling because this is an open place, anyone is free here .
Another problem with gambling advertising will remain because in certain parts of the country gambling can be an income that can help the country's economy at the cost of taxes.
It's pretty clear that gambling advertising can never be banned.

The government of the country can come up with a better idea of letting it's citizens know more about gambling responsibly, I read the news and it's saying that gambling is all about winning some and losing more, and that's accurate, I believe there are ways they can prepare their people to limit or gamble responsibly too.
Yes, it has been done in my country giving a warning that gambling must be responsible and gambling has a higher risk than winning it but fortunately advertisements about gambling have never been on television advertisements in my country, this method is actually the same also used by advertisements on television about strong warning about the dangers of smoking where it is always written in advertisements that,

"Smoking will kill you"

That's why even so gambling is banned in my country but not with cigarettes to prevent addicts at least the government always gives a warning even though in the end the warning will always be ignored by them, but the government has at least warned about the dangers of gambling and also smoking, so everything returns to choice live each other because there is no coercion and prohibition for them to do so. Gambling advertisements are strictly prohibited in my country but you can still find them on the internet.  Cheesy

The best solution is to provide jobs and also convenience in all social services so that automatically people can focus more on a better life and avoid all forms of risky actions such as gambling.

By this are you suggestive that gambling will go down or relegated to the background? No I don't think that is going to happen. No matter the jobs that government provide for her youth, gambling will still be there. The days we are are the days of new age and exploration, the youth are exploring all aspects of socialization and acculturation of which gambling is one of the top that people get to know what happens in other jurisdictions. And the gaming industry is fast growing , different sports find there way to bookies. The gambling adventure is now more of pleasure and fun that employed people find time for it also.
No, I never hinted at gambling being relegated to the background.
But at least with a permanent job someone can be busy all day with work and go home to rest so that if they decide to play gambling it will only be one or two game sessions and not be too long in gambling.
In this era, the gaming industry is growing rapidly and many sporting events are taking place in every corner of the world, which allows more people to play or bet.
But if they already have the awareness of being normal people who need a job then gambling can slowly be limited and not all the time they can gamble.

The best solution is to provide jobs and also convenience in all social services so that automatically people can focus more on a better life and avoid all forms of risky actions such as gambling.
Gambling is already part of everyone's culture. Even if there will be jobs and things as such but if a person has already been a gambler, you can't remove that on him unless he's the one that's gonna remove it for himself. And the better the life, the easier the gambler will take it place that he can gamble without having a problem because win or lose, there's still money that's gonna flow on him based on the life that he's got and the job that he's working on.
You are right that gambling has become a culture and anyone who gambles will still be a gambler, but to continue gambling activities a person needs a certain amount of money and money can be obtained when they want to work or do business.
Imagine if a gambler didn't have a job, could they just bet all the time?
After all, if they work well, they can use gambling only as a means of entertaining themselves when they are off work.

Well, gambling cannot be avoided, in essence, it has become an old culture that is attached to one's life, especially now that gambling is easier without having to go to a traditional casino.
I agree with you that with a better life, he has a stable job, he will not be able to forget about gambling, especially by having enough finances, it will be easier to deposit to start gambling, so with an established job, it is not enough to stop gambling unless own desire to stop forever.

For me, as long as we don't cross the limits of our financial capabilities, there is no problem. Put it in the category of fun, not to make a living in gambling.

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?
Am having a question to ask and if you can answer the question, am sure you will already have answer. Those bitcoin talk belongs to Australia? Which am sure your answer will be No. bitcointalk those not belong to any region so if Australia is banning gambling ads in all the sites in their country, then they don’t have any issue with forum here, no country can stop bitcointalk from marketing any gambling sites here, only the forum members can refuse to advertise a site if they think the site is a scam one. We have all seen different scam sites which people have being strictly warn not to advertise them, but no country can stop advertisement on the forum here.
We all are concerned about the forum which is not limited to on any particular country. bitcointalk has no problem if Australia or one or more countries stop their gambling ads. If Australian casinos want to keep their promotions on bitcointalk they can continue it. This matter is entirely up to them. In this regard bitcointalk does not directly manage any gambling site but we get authentic informations of many gambling sites which are available. No specific area or any particular country can bring any kind of negative impact on it.

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.

You have built misconceptions around this article and as a matter of fact there are no ads campaigns in bitcoin talk, in the past, there were ads for each first page of the forum and not long ago the forum administrator already placed a banned on that.
This ban on ads has been on the rise and this has also led to other social media like Facebook also banning some ads, so this all balls down to the same thing which is actions based on preferences this is different from forum signature which is entirely based on individual members. I

Try to know this that gambling ads cannot be banned by any means, we have to know that except the gambling platforms decided to put a stop to them there may not be a means to avoid this incidence at all, the two sides involved in this mostly benefited from it which is the promoting casinos and the promoters themselves, some gamblers also make uses of this to their advantage because they get updates and offerers through this except for those not interested in seeing ads in their experience being online, the forum casinos has nothing to do with this either nor do they get affected by this decision since their own advertisement here is not by ads except for other platforms they also appears.
I believe for some reason, they are against online gambling, I've just read that online gambling or casinos are highly regulated in the country and now they are going to ban online gambling ads within the country, even though they allow casinos that operate under a license but since most gambling casinos that are available online, I'm not sure if they allow them or not and they only allow land-based casinos that are operating under a license.

And it's not true that gambling ads cannot be banned, they can ban them all over the internet and won't allow any service, website, or social networking site to display or run gambling ads within their country, we might think they can't do that but in reality, they can do that pretty easily.
Picking apart your statement, I'd like to dispense with a myth: the idea that regulation necessarily equals opposition. Yes, online gambling might be heavily regulated, and yes, the advertisements are facing a potential ban. But, to imply that this equates to an anti-gambling stance, well, I'd say that's somewhat of a leap. There's a good reason for this "red tape" – it's not just for the giggles. It's there to protect people. The restrictions are there to prevent exploitation and crime, two unfortunate side-effects of the gambling industry, whether online or land-based. The question then isn't if they're against online gambling, but rather, to what degree they prioritize public safety. As for banning ads, well, it's not a walk in the park. Sure, they could hypothetically ban them within the country, but let's not forget about VPNs and ad-blockers – the internet's very own pair of getaway cars. So, while a blanket ban may be possible in theory, in practice, it's a tad more complicated.

Big NO. I didn't come to read the link, but as what I have understood about these "annoying" gambling ads, they are actually referring to the ads that pops up mostly to any social media platforms. Yes, they are really annoying and minors can actually see it, most especially if a computer is not protected by an app for child safety.
But, bitcointalk forum is a totally different community than the mainstream social media platforms. All of us here are of legal age and there no children roaming around here and the signature ads are exclusively seen only within this community - so I don't think it is somehow connected with the banning of the gambling related ads.
The main focus of this is to ban all gambling related ads in all social media platforms. Also, the article says is only for Australia.


By means of all includes the forum so Bitcointalk forum will be banned on Australia since we are promoting gambling but that doesn’t mean that Bitcointalk will not be available on other country. Country like Russia already banned Bitcointalk to be access by their citizen. I think this same local banned will happened to all Australian users here but the rest of the user that live on other country without restriction can still use the forum.

I don’t know how forum setup about country restrictions though but the Australian government will surely restrict access to the forum when this law was implemented.

The news says that it is related Australian only, how would it affect bitcoin casinos and bitcointalk ads in general? If you are talking about global ban, yes this question may come but since the news is only for Australian then it would not affect bitcoin casino. Interesting fact, I believe that most countries where gambling is banned, they are also banning gambling ads. But what is the reality? People in the countries are still finding gambling ads when they are surfing in the internet space. I guess no one can ban gambling ads globally all around the world.

Probably we could all have rise in support of ban on ads if it would have been possible bit it's something decentralized that everyone has to take decision on to do with or without, we cannot judge from our own end to ban it because we think it sucks on our end due to our preference wgile others may actually finds it very interesting to see, they will alsl use the fact that it's one of the promotional efforts to make in advertisement.

I think gambling ads should be banned in many places... I think there's a time and place for everything! What's happening in my country now is out of control I think. Gambling ads are literally everywhere at any time.

And how far it goes shows my experience from recently. I was listening to the radio in the car and an advertisement for a big casino started. Music, the sound of coins, some big wins, mention of winnings, bonuses... and so it lasts for 20-30 seconds. After that comes the part "children and under 18 should ignore what they heard"!!! How could someone ignore all of that just like that!? And that's radio, those commercials run all day on many radio stations.

I am not sure if it's true or not, this is from the daily newspaper (tabloid)... but things are getting pretty wild, and that is not good:
