IMHO, Ads popping on android device or even on google is a targeted ads which means you will never receive it unless you are browsing same website or anything about gambling which an underage user that doesn't visit gambling will never receive that kind of ads if they never play gambling on there device.
Exactly. Facebook, Youtube, search engines on your mobile phones have the same algorithm and that's a fact. If an underage is too concerned about the mobile gaming things then the stuff they'll be seeing was more onto gamings or other stuff they recently viewed or looked for. Unless there's a scenario where a child use to borrow the phone of the parent and they are that into gambling, that's a different thing and that should be guided.

On the notification panel of my android device and that of many other devices of people in my locale that i have come across, I noticed too many pop up ads about one gambling site or the other, which with a click, you will find yourself in the interface of an online casino or betting site asking for you to sign up and get huge bonuses, I also observed that when using the chrome browser on my cell phone to surf some websites on the internet, I am forcefully redirected to some gambling and betting websites that opens up on the tab as well.
No worries about it, because the reason why ads about gambling are the one shows on your screen is because it uses the data of your browsers. So the thing you must worry about is not to use a kids devices for gambling so it will not show any gambling ads. Probably that ads will show to a child is all about toys and things about kids. It's very concerning and parents should be responsible on those devices if ever they're gambling, so the child can't get any idea what is gambling through ads.
They have to understand the fact that it's not just the responsibility of parents but the site as well, but the site cannot really ask people about their personal information since this would actually cause more probelms, they would actually cause a probelm with their privacy settings. See the solution is everyone working together and also teaching the kids about the whole thing for sure, If you do see your kid having a gambling probelm, then you talk about it, you take them to psychiatrists, it's should never be taken lightly for sure, it can spoil their life forever in the future.
It's the parents that should be the first line of defense when it comes to this kind of stuff, they're the closest to the kid so that means that they can monitor what they do, some might say that you're invading their privacy but it's a good parenting to monitor their online activities because you want what's best for them.
The majority of parents nowadays are too busy working and don't care about their children's online activitiesthings like this have been discussed before and to be honest I agree with gambling sites that require KYC (if their goal is to control gamblers at a young age)
Becoming a gambling addict at a young age will hinder the study of these children, so those who have children immediately supervise your child's daily activities, especially their smartphone that you give
... What are the possible solutions to the problem of the rising number of online underaged gamblers?
You either lock them up in the house without exposure to TV and devices with access to the internet or don't give them any money. It sounds extreme but I really do not see other ways to prevent someone from gambling. You can educate them about the risks of gambling but most of them will still gamble online or offline anyway. 
Just like pornographic sites, I don't think online gambling sites and casino's can fully checkmate underaged users that sign up, and as a result, unfortunately i see the number of underaged gamblers worldwide to increase significantly by October this year.

Why its look like end up to you that gambling companies should take the blame?
Gambling is part of the society we lived in. You are looking for solutions that can't be control unless the whole country banned gambling. Advertisements are also everywhere so we can't control it.
Just raise awareness about gambling on your known underage people or if you see someone got involved in gambling in early age.

By browsing the internet now with ease even this can be done by anyone so there is no 100% good solution in this case except the war of parental influence is also important if you want to take part in this section, almost all minors have held android phones and of course they will receive a notification from the browser at least there is a gambling ad that allows it to be clicked later.
So by minimizing the occurrence for minors, I think KYC is still quite effective, although now it can be faked, but I believe this will reduce the increase in underage gamblers.

KYC, but they can still use fake ID or their brothers/parents' ID, so there's no 100% effective method. Even with video verification, they can pass with fake ID + rather old face.I think we have to live with it, same case with beer and cigarette, it's up to the parents to teach/monitor their children. Teens have this unstoppable curiosity, and it's not fair to put the burden on the casino.
As long as the advertisement is for 18+ (late night or via google/youtube age verification) and KYC, I don't think there's more to do.

I'm concerned for the underaged and how easy these things have become so exposed to them. I did a little research as to the statistics of underaged gamblers for last year, and according to an article, "39% of 11-16-year olds have bet their own money" as at when published in October 2020.
