If the gambling companies decide to show such problematic advertising etc it would ruin the whole reputation of the industry as a whole.

I think it will not.

If there's an existing particular guidelines about the use of stuffed animals I think they just have to follow the guidance properly. Its really important that these casinos are aware of the laws and regulations to avoid this kind of incident knowing that child is always a sensitive matter.

I stumbled across an article where the gambling advertising did have some stuffed animals in their advertisements. Now the complaint was made and it was determined that usage of advertisement like this actually causes people under 18 to get engaged with such things which can cause further problems.

The steps were taken to ensure that the advertisement never appears again.

Regulators have ordered an “irresponsible” gambling advert featuring fluffy animals to be taken down following a complaint about it appealing to children.

The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) ruled that an advert posted by Gala Spins on Facebook showing five toy animals breached guidelines about betting companies targeting under-18s

This aside we do have a bigger problem here to address.
1. Why did the company use this kind of advertising in the first way ?
2. What should we do to ensure that kids under 18 doesn't start to gamble? We cannot ask them for identity cards and then expect them to show.

What do you guys think ??

I think that company should be not allowed to offer gambling services anymore and get its gambling license removed.I may be a bit drastic in measures but this is the only way to effectively stop other gambling companies to use these unorthodox methods to advertise their service.They are making the whole industry look bad by their actions.

Maybe they thought if they use a stuffed animals, people will think that gambling is indeed an entertainment and there's nothing to worry about.

It will always depends on how they were raised in their homes, meaning if they have terrible and irresponsible parents also means that they have a very poor character, which likely most of them turns into rebellion. Kids that didn't have a good parenting become much worst on their parents, resulting to early pregnancy, drinking alcohol, or even playing gambling by betting money or anything they do have.

It's good that regulatory bodies are taking such actions to try to decrease the unwanted attention towards under 18 people.
What I think should be done to avoid under 18 to start gambling is that people should start posting stories of how people under 18 ruined their life because of gambling.
This way they would fear to start gambling and may be never gamble at all which would be even better as gambling is addictive Grin

They made a mistake of using these stuffed animals they could have used other materials or logo but never stuffed animals, kids are attracted to toys and stuffed animals these are the kind of gifts children wants to receive during the holiday, it's a bad representation, the regulators are right in ordering them to be taken down, in fact, they should be fine for creating advertising like that, this is a good precedent no advertising like that will appear again.
