Disable that notification. It's always in the settings. and if possible just use a throwaway gmail account or simply just use something else like protonmail. Classifying those emails as spam isn't even necessary anymore if you are just using an email that you don't care whatever is going into it.  Casinos can modify the user's settings by the way, I have seen it myself when I unsubscribed but after a few months, I received some emails from them which is just like a notification.

As long as you're using same email address on both your  PC and mobile device, your activities tend to be monitored to a very large extent. There ar cases when I just access a gambling site in my chrome and then when I go back to my Facebook wall, I see lots of ads bringing other gambling site to my wall. It's a combination of what an algorithm does and the fact that most of your account are linked in some way.

As long as it's just mere push notification that doesn't affect your privacy or security, it's nothing to be bothered about but the fact is that our privacy and security while using our mobile device has been brought down to the lowest point. You won't be supprised that you can just be having a physical conversation where you're talking about a particular subject matter only to go online to see recommendations regarding what you just spoke about. Some of the permissions we grant to our device monitors and take record of the conversation we're having and bring ads and recommendation that's close to that niche on our timeline.

I gamble on both my phone and laptop but I do not notice anything like push notifications. What I noticed are messages through email from the gambling sites that I registered but it is not frequent at all in a way they are not disturbing me. I do not think all the sites are sending the email message.

As for push notifications, you can disable it from the settings under app management and info. Go to the app info and click on notification, then disable it if you want it to be disabled. But that is only if you installed the gambling site app on your phone. As for email, at the down part of the email message, you will see unsubscribe. Click on it to unsubscribe and you will not receive email notification from the gambling site again.

After being registered on a few sites  that offer online  gambling I have experienced on my mobile the increasing number of push notifications from other services of gambling  field.  My mobile is not tight to those sites where I'm gambling but bounded with Gmail.

I gamble via my laptop rather than mobile.

Does those push notifications mean that Google has linked somehow my  laptop and Gmail account?

What is the best way to protect myself from such "guardianship" (if any)?
