Topic: Another New Rule On Gambling Adverts Ban Celebrities and Sports Stars (Read 1768 times)

Yes, it is a good point, but it is not so bad that a player of any team or an athlete does it, some athletes promote clothing, such as underwear and that appears on TV, and in some way they are being exhibited, it is something that children have access to see because that's how they show it on TV, so if they start watching promotions on TV or wherever with their idols from now on, they won't see it so badly, what they'll think is that they want to be like them, we as parents must tell them and teach them about the value of money, how they can use it to have fun preventing them from falling into addiction, the important thing is to be there to guide them.

I disagree because no parent teach their kids to gambol, no good parents want their kids to tell a lie or to steal anything.
The teaching is a factor but not THE factor which make a kid gamblor or a lier. Sometime even very simple parents are in trouble because they couldn't believe their kid is involved in bad activities.

That's why gambling among the lower classes still exists today and the government has a hard time banning it because they can move around without the government knowing about it. Hopefully, those who gamble can realize their mistake and can reduce their habit of gambling and collect the money from their families. They should realize that gambling will not give them any money and that it is better for them to work and save money for their families.

Most of lower class or middle class people thinks that they only using a small amount to bet and yet they can win a million from those small bets so it doesn't matter for them to place it but they didn't know that in long term the amount of what they are betting is increasing and ended up losing more. Going back to the topic, I really think sports stars should not advertise gambling and encourage people to play I am sure there is a lot of minor fans that would like to fllow their steps and will think gambling is a good step as their idol are promoting it.

Yes, this is true; I have noticed that those in the poor or lower classes are more likely to win money that is greater than their monthly income.A lot of people I know are big fans of Lotto and "Suertres," which involves guessing a three-number combination and winning big money if you get it right.Most of the people I know bet on this because they can win sometimes, which means they can buy something from it rather than relying on their low salaries.

It is true that lower people class people often playing traditional gambling as they wish they will win but only few percentage people can be winner and even they can be win the lose those latter if they continued. And in maximum case maximum people continue gambling to win more and more but finally they make more loss.

Agreed, I mean even if there are some ways to try to restrict the websites that kids can access we cannot stop them from trying to access those same websites from other devices, so while parents can do their part the truth is that kids will always find a way around those restrictions, so the best parents can do is to try to teach their kids why accessing those websites is not a god idea and hope that they listen to them, and while many kids will listen there are many others that will not do it and will eventually get in trouble by gambling while they are underage.

Not really because I often see people from the lower middle class often playing traditional gambling in the hope that they can win some money. Education plays a role in the existence of awareness about the dangers of gambling and if they can have adequate education, they will see gambling as something they should stay away from. In addition, the income they get will not be used for gambling because it will be better to buy their daily needs.

That's right. By spending time with them, we will not think about gambling because we have found fun with them. By playing with them, we don't have to spend money or lose money because we can already have fun. Everyone doesn't want to lose in gambling, so it's true that we don't have to play gambling if we don't want to see or get lost.

We will not be able to imagine what would happen if other people or even ourselves become addicted because the consequences will be different for each person. Help from the family is needed to help people who are addicted to gambling overcome it but it will depend on the person who is addicted to gambling whether or not he wants to tell his family about his difficulties. Before the state makes laws, it would be nice if the government could discuss with all relevant parties so that no one will be disappointed with the regulations that will be made. And of course, it can help minimize people who can get addicted to gambling.

If someone becomes addicted to gambling, it is really bad, because, as we know, it is very difficult to get out of all addictions. Of course, the help of the family is then necessary. It is also very important to help such people. However, in my opinion, the task of the state is to regulate the law and advertising of gambling so as not to lead to addiction. So, in my opinion, such advertising should be kept to a minimum or even prohibited. Then it would be much safer and there would be less cases of addiction.

the majority of people in my country also still have thoughts like this, even the discussion of gambling (whether it's sports betting or slots) is considered taboo (bad talk). With the proliferation of celebgrams and tiktok artists in my country, many of them have been arrested by the police for being ambassadors by a gambling site. my country government is very strict against gambling with the reason of wanting to protect the younger generation from gambling.

Family, friends, vacation, and doing other things that could get your mind out of gambling. Find happiness on other things, like playing sports, videogames, board games, etc.
On top of it, you'll only call yourself or by the others addicted because you've lost significant amount of money. But if not, you're good. Gambling has ups and down, it needs strong emotional capacity. So if you cannot take losing, do not play.

It is not a fact for gambling either the gambler is educated or not. And those people who is addicted on gambling are maximum educated people. There is highest percentage of the gamblers are educated only few percentage of the gamblers might be not educated. So education can't play any vital role regarding gambling.

It will depend on how parents educate their children and if their children suffer from gambling addiction, they can find solutions to overcome their gambling addiction. Yes, that's correct. The family should provide support first so that he does not feel alone in overcoming his addiction. But sometimes, the addicted person to gambling does not want to tell their family because they feel it is not related to their family. It needs discussion with their family to know the problem and how to solve it.

Well - there are even the horror stories attached to the gambling as well. But the most dangerous of all are those players who loose control on their emotion and losses their hard earned money. So for the kids, it is very important so that they indulge themselves in the healthy activities.

I hope there would also be programs that will educate families on how to help and support their family members who are suffering from gambling addiction. The main support must come from the family first. It's really heartbreaking that there are broken families because of the curse of gambling addiction so everyone must be aware of how to handle such situations.

We must be aware that all children are now in a world that has changed significantly since the pandemic began, they live in a digital world, where schools from the beginning were digital, it is much easier for them to access sites To play, among them the casinos, it is for this reason that the fundamental role of parents must be unique for their children to protect, if parents are not aware of their children, they cannot guide them on the right track, and a child He knows that he has to place on every platform that is of legal age, who finds a way to make fun of systems, if parents do not have enough supervision are the guilty of games of addiction of games and anything bad that their children can access , that is the only fault of this problem.

I support the decision - because society is a blend of different cultures and background. In some cultures gambling is taken as a sin/crime. So the family cannot afford seeing their kids going to casinos. Or even they don't want their husbands to gamble. So better safe than sorry.

I agree on this one, kids nowadays are really that smart nor aware on this current tech we do have today on which they do even surpass into those oldies when it comes to awareness and
how this tech works and its true that there's no way that we could really get rid of this one or avoid which means that proper guidance and make themselves aware about gambling
addiction or effects should really be put up into their mind because no matter how the government would impose bans on different forms it would be still useless i would say.

kids are very clever these days. Even my 10 years old nephew teaches his grandparents how to use the apps and how to respond.
These kids are 21 century kids - they are hard to control so the only good think is counceling and telling them what is good for them and what not.

it may decrease the number of forthcoming gamblers who is not adult but it is impossible to stop from being addicted to the child who are not adult. Restriction of anything can keep few people away but it cant stopped all the people. Addition of gambling is not preventable fully.
