It's a seemingly paradoxical situation: gambling is legal, but talking about it is restricted.  Imagine a society allowing the activity but discouraging open discussions about it. The reasoning behind the ban, is to curb the addictive nature of gambling.  Promotional narratives often focus on big wins, minimizing the risks and potential losses.  Imagine positive gambling stories influencing people who wouldn't normally gamble.

The concern about the "contagious" nature of gambling through word-of-mouth or online testimonials is insightful.  Hearing about someone's big win can spark interest in others, even those with no prior gambling experience.

I don't think the ban is about discussing it. I think it is about displaying ads about it. There is a difference I think.

Mostly because if they start banning speech, then that's a bad thing really.

But they have banned certain types of advertisements like tobacco, alcohol, etc. I think it's not something new.

A desire to curb the negative impacts of gambling without sacrificing government revenue.  Imagine a society seeking to protect its citizens from gambling addiction while still benefiting from potential tax income.

The point about a partial ban only affecting promotion by individuals is an interesting one.  This creates a loophole where government-sanctioned entities could still advertise, potentially creating a sense of unfairness.  Imagine a situation where some entities can promote gambling freely, while others cannot.

A complete ban on gambling activities, while seemingly effective, might not be realistic or practical.  A more nuanced approach, like stricter regulations on advertising content, consumer protection measures, and responsible gambling initiatives, could be a more effective solution.

That is a confusing and unfair law, to be honest.
If they don't want gambling to spread within the country or people shouldn't gamble, why is gambling legal in the first place? It is good if they do something to prevent gambling addiction but this is not the right way to do that because you can't deny citizens from posting anything related to gambling when gambling itself is legal in the country because that doesn't make any sense.

They should have rules such as a person below a certain age cannot post such things, but this doesn't sound right. I have never seen a country doing this if within the country gambling isn't illegal. I wonder how online casinos and other platforms advertise their services.
the thing is that each country have their own rules and regulation concerning gambling and if you fail to obey the rules and the regulation of that country you'll be having issues I know quite well that most of the gambling platform always pay tax to the country that legalized them but some country who does not accept gambling I'm the song gambling platforms operate there it is based on the gambling are doing their things on secret so that is one thing I will say so, nothing is that there's nothing a country can do someone who is addicted in gambling can skip gambling any day or any content time we have to know that that whoever that is addicted in gambling you cannot stop the person to gamble

What I think about all this is that things are very given to the fact that the eproans of certain countries do not see very well the action generated by casinos, they take it as something that they should not show it much, especially to protect the children, person who is somewhat susceptible to any of these effects of gambling.

It is not that it is prohibited, but they do not want the publicity of it, it is like something censored, for me some countries do these things only for protection measures, however the activity may require regulation that is not wrong, because sometimes the They take it as if it were a luxury activity, but in itself, depending on the government you are in, it can be seen as something bad for society where it is not prohibited but is restricted.

It is better to follow the rules of the country, because if they have a very tight control over them, it can cause problems for people if they are not fully complied with.

I am seeing of them have fun while getting into the real thing. I know that there are some suspicious and just trying to attract more people sign under them or their agency for the casino that they promote locally. But sometimes, they're just for real that I know these people(agents) personally shares how much their players won but it's been a long time since I haven't seen them so it's probably part of the plan and marketing but, it's still allowed in our country.

Yeah, that is a good thing that your country still allows it.

I think that personal responsibility should be the most important thing.

But yeah, many people are going to be exposed to a weird legal framework in their countries I guess...

It's the time to think about your membership I guess Smiley
I agree, personal responsibility is needed at most times and even if they pass this into law. We have to obey it but no matter how harsh the penalties and punishments will be, there will still be a lot of individuals that are going to violate and will continue in doing so.
But in social media times today, things are easy to get recorded when you're too vocal and active in posting your activities.

Talking about our wins to someone else is risky because you may get robbed by them, therefore this bill right there is good to give us a safety. Another good reason is that we can now be able to solo our winnings Cheesy. This is only simple to follow and I don't think it was a big deal because after all, gambling is still very legal in your country.
Well, this is one of the pros that people will be kept safe from sharing their winnings and those type of gamblers are in favor of this law. But most of them won't be as they're the owner of their own social medias and they're going to post whatever they want. Most laws aren't considerate at all but if it's for the good of most then it's a good resolution that shall be passed on to become a law. Yeah, it's simple to follow as many don't want to get penalized but many won't also be obliged to do so because they'll reason out that it is their own feed or wall to make.

Another thing that they restrict are online gambling ads, which again a good thing, as we know almost everyone know are accessing the web and we don't want our kids to get exposed to it. You must only be careful if you are a member of the forum and a part of a gambling campaign, as they may also target you.
I am in favor of this, when they are going to disable gambling ads. They're for sure going to lessen the viewership of it that might be seen by teens and younger ones. The protection is on them and that's one way to help them avoid going on with casinos. But people might see it as something odd when we're all gamblers here and gets into promotion of it but against to the gambling ads. Yes, we do because we're concerning to the welfare of the younger ones.

gambling is not legal to most of the countries that we know especially some continent like Africa I don't think that they have legalized gambling to the extent that casino gambling with the have a center whereby someone can Gamble manually online via casino gambling because I know that majority of people who is into gambling and the Always emphasize on gambling do Lament directly based on the website of battery casino gambling not about the physical casino gambling center. So we all know that gambling is a risk and it is something that we know that the end product will be negative or positive based on your prediction and also luck opportunity that is beside you or behind you, that is why when people win in gambling we don't take it too much serious because it is a game of luck

It's still a bill so it's not yet a law. I have got a lot of friends that are gamblers and they always share their betting slip, wins and losses in their facebook accounts. Once this passes onto law then it will surely going to stop them from sharing the same content materials that have been done. A lot of them are agents of these casinos and that's why it will affect their hustle if it happens to become a law. But as of now, there's nothing to worry about it if it's not yet a whole law and not yet signed by the president.
Yeah, that's usually how people actually make money with gambling, through ads or social media, etc.

To make money actually gambling is a different story, and it's actually quite difficult. But it's fun, so many people do it as entertainment.

Yes that is the way I think it makes more sense to make money in gambling but not by gambling but by becoming a promotional agent of an online casino situation on an agreement where you make money from the number of people who enter the casino that you promote and you will get paid according to the agreement with the casino and also as a bonus usually you can also get a percentage of the fee from each losing gambler, and if I'm not mistaken you will get 30% and the casino gets 70% when the gamblers you invite to engage in the promoted casino lose.

True, the income from pure gambling winnings such as getting a jackpot is of course different from the income if you become an influncer or stremer where the income of a stremer or promotional agent is that they get money from the agreement with the casino along with bonuses when the gamblers they invite lose, and I think this income has a fairly consistent element when you want to continue to cooperate with the casino you want to promote but still for the problem of risk is always there which is where the government usually does not legalize gambling promotion especially if you are in a country that is anti-gambling, and income from pure gambling winnings is another thing.

Some countries laws don't care, they will promote gambling in every possible way, they don't mind having drunk and drugged underage on the streets running wild, but OP country is different, not many countries are like this, and he should be grateful.

Gambling should be a solo thing, under the radar, and its only those that find shall see it, this is the best for all the upcoming leaders of tomorrow, if there is no youths in a country with their right state of mind how will they become the leaders of tomorrow?

Gambling ads should be restricted, its a normal thing to do, and about the web thing I think there will come a time where smartphones will have restrictions for the underage, where they can't search for some things using the web, and they will never come across some ads that can affect their thinking.

I have seen many up growing children going wild because they have a smartphone, a few of them turned into fraudsters and some turned into porn addicts, its because the power is in their hands.

In fact, I don't find it strange because the same thing happens with alcohol. Most countries allow the production and trade of wines at the same time that the law prohibits any advertising of any brands of those wines or any other brands. The same thing happens on a global scale for the cigarette industry as well.
All of these sectors have characteristics that make dealing with them special, given that these products should not appear on any occasion for children under a certain age or there should be any incentives for consumption.

In my country, the government has a monopoly on the gambling sector because the only betting company is a national government sports betting company, and two casino licenses have been granted, allowing them to provide their services to foreign tourists only.

Honestly, I don't understand the rules or laws like this in a country, people are allowed to gamble but they are not allowed to publish the results of their gambling activities such as when you get a win that you want to show off in the public eye or anything else that smells of gambling and will be subject to quite severe penalties if you end up breaking it. But if you look at the gambling access provided by the government which is in the form of real or physical gambling that you can find in various corners of the city then it seems that in my opinion the government is trying to limit gambling from most children, because as we know that this is the digital age where children today spend more time playing smartphones when they have free time such as after school.

Or simply your government seems to only allow adults to engage in gambling and is trying to cut off the reach of gambling from children so they made this kind of regulation that prohibits anyone from publicizing it by posting on some social media, but it could be that my prediction is wrong, but I think it doesn't matter because this is my point of view for this quite confusing regulatory issue. Cheesy
It's basically saying you are free to gamble when of legal age but keep your gambling activities to yourself which is not a bad policy in itself. I personally have no problem with that since you don't really need to brag about winnings and encourage others to do the same or follow your footsteps. Most people who post such things are looking to earn from referrals or from sponsorships so it's better to just cut it off.

Usually the only ones who post about gambling are those influencers and vloggers where they promote gambling on different social media platforms without thinking that many minors are likely to watch, that's probably the purpose of why there is a law about that whoever is found posting about gambling will be charged. Yes, we know whether gambling is legal or not in our country, but no one has stated whether promoting it on public social platforms is also legal.
Governments of all countries strive to improve of the people of their country. The government must have a keen eye on what the people of that country will do to get opportunities and what to do will degrade them. A government is the most powerful in terms of power in a country but is again elected by the people of its country. In the country government has to take decisions on various issues even after any pressure. He may have been allowed to gamble, perhaps under public pressure or to collect revenue. But because those governments are aware, they work against the spread of gambling through propaganda.

I find this unusual and weird I live in a country where gambling is legal there are lotto outletss in every corner, there are horse racing betting outlet and there are online betting station that originates in our country and yet there is a pending bill that if you're going to post or talk about gambling you'll likely going to get fine of 500k pesos or $90k and you will also land in jail.

So if you post that you won in horse racing or you post the winning bets in daily lottery you will likely get charged and penalize, so what do you think of this law, is this right?

Gambling is going to be a fail business in that region because no business succeed without marketing and how do you market a gambling platform when it is illegal in this case? If this is not wickedness then I don't know what to call it. This is more like trying to ban gambling but perhaps they see it as trying to make people not to exercise their freedom and right, then they implement this protocol to discourage people from gambling because with this, no gambling platform can even make a poster for people to see, it will be taken off and fine for such misconduct.

There is no way this is a democracy, $90k for making a talk about gambling,  how much will a person be charge when they steal? This is not, I'm seeing this for the first time but as I said, this is just a way to stop people from gambling completely, these warming aren't even friendly.

Yes that's right, for some people who are always closed or don't overreact when they get a win for example or even when they are one of the people who are quite closed in their lives then rules like this really won't be a problem because they are just connoisseurs and not someone who always has the ambition to brag about the results of their gambling activities. On the other hand, from what you said, I think I would conclude that you are directing your ideas to some people who do act as promotional agents of casinos such as stremers or influencers who always advertise on some social media with the aim of attracting many people who in turn get benefits or income from sponsors who are their partners.

This is another thing that is different from what I said earlier where now we see from another point of view about why a country applies this kind of regulation that maybe they are limiting the promotion of online-based gambling in their country so they prohibit anyone from posting anything that smells of gambling on some social media but still I think limiting the reach of children is one of the government's goals also by implementing regulations like this.
