Topic: Gambling advertising monitored closely - page 2. (Read 1709 times)
Gambling is for supposedly responsible adults not children. Advertising any product is designed to increase sales or usage. A small minority of people lack the self-discipline to control what they spend on gambling, or know when to quit. Children fall into that category - therefore - reducing or banning adverts for gambling reduces the risk of people falling into debt.
If that is the case I don't know how did they got the money to use in that gambling site and as far as I know, the OP said that it is just inviting to some children and not actually, I hope, played by them. Even though we control and supervise our children, it will be really hard if we can't filter these kinds of things to their Social media news feeds.
We never know how they get the money or use the money from what we gave them. Some parents give the money to them weekly or monthly, and we don't know what they will use with that money. My friend, who has two children that grown-up tells me to control and supervises their children now become hard compare to his childhood.It will vary on person to person kind of behavior and since we do have our own will and experiences then its up to us on how we should gonna take action
on things that we do able to encounter.Its just impossible for you to go back to gamble if you do know that it is already involving money and if you are a
type of person who doesnt like to get involved then you would be automatically reject these things and wont turn your back.For some people where curiosity does really come out which would result into these kind of mistakes.For advertisment matters then as a parent or guardian, it is just right for us to protect those who are really still into their young minds.
Many children who find pleasure in one thing will try to do the same repeatedly, and that will happen too with the adult people. Sometimes people will come back to gambling because they can get that pleasure, which makes them play gambling many times. They will hard to reject it because of the fun factor they can get from gambling, and they will not think that is a mistake to stay in gambling games for some time. So in this matter, you need to be aware and concerned about yourself, and try to control yourself in any situations in the gambling games. Do not let the pleasure drag you deeper to the gambling games because that will be dangerous for you, and always guard your children. on things that we do able to encounter.Its just impossible for you to go back to gamble if you do know that it is already involving money and if you are a

Gambling is already viewed as a sinful venture, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be regulated because of course, it is an industry that appeals, to most po the masses. So making sure that it abides upon certain preset rules that will encourage responsible gambling and protect people from harm or defamation. Advertisements like these should be stopped and have the company it advertsises face consequences.
I've seen the screenshots in the discussion and the news about these ads that clearly look like they're meant for children, and I think it should be forbidden. Gambling websites should look serious and too complicated for kids to understand, not like a nice little game with toys... It's very irresponsible and cruel to target young people because they're not aware of the risks and responsibility, and they are even more likely to develop addiction if I remember correctly (I read about it once).
But gambling advertising in actually bad in many ways. One of them are the infamous Google ads of phishing websites that copy the designs of famous casinos. So the area needs more regulations and oversight.
exactly. Agencies and entities that are there to support and protect people from harm or defamation in the world of gambling should be more vigilant and responsible in the advertisements they put out. You can't just put an add like that with the sole purpose of gaining publicity in mind. That's just downright wrong and messed up. But gambling advertising in actually bad in many ways. One of them are the infamous Google ads of phishing websites that copy the designs of famous casinos. So the area needs more regulations and oversight.
Why not women? I don't understand why it would be unlawful or unethical to target women too?
Ladies aren't children, they're free to gamble if they want to, in most of countries of the world.

For honest, he is right. The same as most gamers even now are men, overwhelming amount of gamblers are men. So there is some sense in his words. But in gambling, many commercial are "gender neutral" and it trying to exploit success terms, like "you will be rich" and so on, to hit more audience (compared to ad where is shown nude girls)

Oh wow, now this is some interesting news. Never expected those gambling regulatory body would be targeting and monitoring gambling advertisements out there. I mean there are thousands of advertisements and it's impossible for them to track each and every advertisements. I am starting to doubt someone might have placed/reported the advertisement to the higher authorities after he/she thought it was inappropriate. Either this or the government has some every powerful tools!
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.
1. I highly doubt they did this to attract children. They might have overlooked the problem in the design. I mean, if I saw the advertisement, I don't think I would have noticed anything "weird".
2. Nothing you can do.

I've read the article from the second screenshot I shared. the gambling site said to ASA that reason for the cute design as they were appealing to women of age 18-65 but I think the design is a little too cute or kid-like and I agree with ASA that the design actually is a little irresponsible on the gambling site's side.
Even if they conducted a survey or study on this, they should have not proceeded on using these so-called cute pictures, because they are alarming and obviously will also target children and I don't think are more women gamblers than men, they should the target their masculine clients because they are the majority players of the industry, not women and children.

I never thought its that lovely. The one that I see here in bitcointalk is the bethash.io casino which has its fluffy mascot only but not the games with cutey characters on slot machines.
But don't you guys think the casino also is doing this so that the gamblers will feel like they are at least kids? You don't wanna lose thousands of money yet still feel old and miserable but the feeling to be like a kid for just a period of time while playing could be an experience for gamblers.
I 'm sorry I'm just kidding.
I guess so. But I think the casino only wants to give their best services to their members, especially for loyal members, and the casino wants to make them comfortable while playing gambling. And the members can feel satisfied with the services, and the members will not doubt to spend more money just to fills their want to playing gambling. Besides that, that will depend on each people interpretation, and they will have their own opinion.But don't you guys think the casino also is doing this so that the gamblers will feel like they are at least kids?

I 'm sorry I'm just kidding. They don't need an advertisement for that, right?
The fact that they are advertising that means that they needed more gamblers to go visit their casino. If they wanted the best service for their members, that advertisement is not needed. They can just use the budget for that ad to improve the gambling site and offer other things that would make their gamblers, well, gamble more money.
Exactly, that's what advertisements are for.
Besides, you don't need advertisements with cute stuff just to ease your feelings after your lose in gambling, it won't take back your losses. But if the advertisements of cute stuff makes them happy, then I guess they need to stop gambling and start to buy literal stuff toys and watch it all day in their room, that way, they could save a lot of money instead of losing them.
Advertising's something is a way of marketing a product or services, and that means to attract people to use their products or services.

It is hard being a parent and always watching our child while many parents are now busy with their jobs and seem not to give care to their child. Many parents think that if they can facilitate their child with anything, they make their child happy and they will not do anything that bad, but that is not right because our child needs our cares and our loves. We need to stay beside them and teach them anything they should know according to their ages, so they can grow up and know which is good and bad. Maybe the advertisement needs to change and adjust to being a better advertisement that will not attract children or people below 18 years old.
I'm sure this will end up like advertising of cigars and tobacco: creeping ad but anyway people would buy it because they have addiction
And for children it's looks like easy money, i remember myself in my early years: i wanted to make some money without hard job (most kind of jobs for teenagers is hard jobs). So just changing of gambling advertisement will not help.
Obviously they are targeting, and the authorities are quick to take action, if they continue to do this they can be charge with corrupting the minor, these gambling companies are profit oriented they are already making huge profits from adult gamblers and they want to extend this to young people who will think that they are welcome to gamble on the gambling sites because of those advertising materials.
But children are already playing immoral games like violent and sexual video games. Why they shouldn't be allowed to gamble with worthless digital currencies like Testnet BTCitcoins for example? (Some platforms allow to play with those worthless coins like Bitmex for example)
The more this thread goes the more I think and the more I start to think television advertising and youtube advertising should be banned. I don't think it's something people need to be encouraged to do. If people want to gamble I have no issues and if they want to sign up for a daily list of promotions etc I couldn't argue with that.
What you are proposing is too radical, maybe you mean that casinos should not be able to advertise themselves in media like the TV and radio? If that is what you are proposing then this could have a chance to happen as cigarettes are forbidden to promote themselves on television, however if you are actually proposing to ban any kind of advertising in the media then that is not possible as the media depends on that money to survive, and even then you cannot eliminate all advertising as TV shows and movies will be paid to include ads and reduce the quality of our entertainment even further. 
Well in fact these type of advertisements are cute and we couldn't set aside the fact that these types of adverisements can add to the flavor of the menu that the gambling sites are promoting but we have just being worried on how these might impact to the children who can accessed these sites if in case. Which in fact, many childrens are now become one of the society of social medias or any type of social media and the danger if they might open it and what if the phone or account that they have used was an old phone of their parents that their accounts have been logged in on that particular gadget. So these might be i guess the one thing that we should be worried off if we were a parents.
Precisely! Parents are the one who are worrying much in this kind of situation as the potentials that the kids / minors are prone into
involving themselves into this kind of activities.
Internet is an easy access to play the game even the site are very clear that they are not allowing minors who still under 18 years old
to play those silly little children are capable of using their parents accounts, or worse they can simply create dummy accounts which will
allow them to play especially if it's crypto related sites where if you don't have any suspicious activities you can freely enjoy the games.

What do you guys think ??
It's really a stupid and ballsy move to use such stuffed animals for an advertisement, a marketing idiocy. Yet, in fact, most gambling platforms were really strict in reminding their users that they must be of legal age, yet many still engage on such platforms disregarding its own rules and regulations. In fact, it is not only the fault of the platform and their advertising team, it is also the fault of irresponsible users whom still seeks to engage despite being restricted in their age.
But honestly, targeting under 18 is really hideous. It is fine to have NSFW or disgusting advertisement as long as it is shown in platforms that has age restrictions, and of course with appropriate targeted audiences.
