I don’t see anything wrong with an advertisement if there are no direct calls to play. If it is simply informational in nature, then it’s okay. But if the advertisement contains aggressive prizes for playing and communicating a large bonus and an easy game, this should definitely be regulated by censorship.
Children may be attracted to gambling due to gambling advertisements on TV which has no chance to be ignored. However, if gambling is perceived negatively by the people of a country, but gambling is advertised on TV, it means that the people of that country will begin to accept gambling as normal after a certain period of time. If people are not attracted to gambling by immediate advertisement then after a long time there will be many gamblers. As a result, gambling companies may not recover in the short term, but after a long time, their business may increase tremendously. Gambling is usually advertised on TV in countries where gambling is permitted.

My privacy, my right.
While watching TV with my kid, I've watched various advertisements of gambling nature (let's say for example, Rummy123, RummyCircle, A23 Rummy, etc.)
These are all specifically Indian ads, but I'm sure you may have seen various gambling advertisements, some banners at boundaries when cricket is ongoing, even in any other sport. How would a kid ignore those things, they might just come and ask you about what is it. Till when can we lie to them? Don't you think that the frequency of such ads must be less in order to let the kids not get trapped into gambling and don't do it at such a small age?

Gambling advertising might be affected by the changing rules over time. And now they are illegal to be broadcasted in many countries.
Not sure about the case of India but gambling ads on TVs are restricted in the part of world I live. It might be in order to prevent children from getting curious over the ads. But again that doesn't stop for them from advertising. They do so using the shadow advertisement where they use a same named or similarly named product or service that is not related to gambling but most people would obviously relate the ads to the gambling platform.
The real life casinos here also organize live performance shows that are broadcasted over TV.
Several of these gambling companies have bought their way through some of these broadcasting regulatory body that are saddled with the responsibility to clampdown on gambling companies that dares break the gambling advertising rules of operation in the country. And that's why we have societies where gambling adverts are easy to be found on TV shows.

As parents in this case we have to play our role in a technical way by being  obvious and truthful about those adverts to our children explaining to them about the negative consequences and why they are not of age to go near it or think about it. Trying to hide the truth from them can make them talk about it to the wrong people that may either introduce them to it directly.

Wait a minute... Which entrepreneur or business company would put up an advertisement online without showcasing to you what you would benefit from them if you sign up after listening to it? None will do that. Example here signature campaign companies announce opening and solicit for posting by advertising them all over the forum while they also publish the pay rates for every level of user whose expression of interest / application is accepted. This is how it is across, so no gambling company will advertise on TV or anywhere without telling their products and encourage you to win by registering and playing. It is left for the person to decide on what to do , if you let the children to see adverts, they are equally seeing all about the announcement .

It’s not something uncommon these days as the growth in the industry and the benefits it gets from positive advertising has got gambling sites out for more publicity and you can’t go a day without seeing at least one or two gambling sites. Every time they do come by, they always proclaim big wins and that’s what people are out for. It becomes the captivating point for kids and gets them curious.
When they do, I don’t think it’s the best idea to lie to them because they eventually find out and when they do, they become way worst than you would have expected.

I feel when they come to you with curiosity over what you feel is bad, you tell them the pros and cons to the industry, than make them an alien to it and that would in turn help them more. That’s because, the lesson they will learn from you on the course would be direction towards the takes you want for them on it but, rather than what they would be fed with else where.
The important thing is that we don't lie to our children and explain what gambling is and its impact on them so they can think. With this thinking, they can understand that they don't need to gamble if it only negatively impacts their lives. They will find out for themselves when they grow up and see what is happening in their environment. If they can find examples of people who gamble, they can compare them with people who don't gamble so they can conclude what gambling really is like.

They probably wouldn't approach gambling if they knew its impact on them, especially if they had seen what happens to someone who gambles for too long and what impacts they experience. Children have great curiosity but with guidance from their parents, they can learn and understand what they should not do even when they grow up.

In my country all forms of gambling are prohibited so there are no advertisements about gambling platforms. However, at sporting events there are lots of banners about cigarette and contraceptive products which I think are quite disturbing. The government also doesn't seem to be too bothered by these advertisements because they get taxes from it.
In fact, the government should regulate these advertisements because they are quite disturbing and can influence young people to use these products. These advertisements can influence children's subconscious minds and trigger them to be curious and use the product. That's why in developing countries the rate of addiction to gambling, cigarettes, etc. is quite high because there are no advertising regulations from the government.

At one side you are saying that gambling is prohibited in your country and on the other side you are saying that the government do not bother if about sports betting advertisements. Instead of collecting money as an advertisement for sports betting, they could actually ban the local platforms that are advertising those bets and fine them too.

Either the government first legalise gambling and allow the ads or completely ban the gambling and the betting ads, doing half of the things and allowing the other half for their own benefits is not the right thing in my opinion.


Well, they ban all forms of gambling so advertisements or various things about gambling certainly won't be able to be shown. However, the funny thing is that the government here seems hypocritical because it is common knowledge that in several locations there are nightclubs and casinos that operate and are supported by officials and authorities. So even though gambling here is banned, behind the scenes it is still operating lol.

I do not mind gambling platforms to advertised on TV but it should be accompanied by a gambling awareness campaign.  This way we are not denying people about where to find good place to play gambling games but at the same time we are raising awareness about the negative effects of too much gambling and the devastating effect of gambling addiction.  It is like giving the masses a choice and at the same time make them aware the possible effect of it on their lives.

Why should you lie? Direct answer them about what they saw and feed their mind with knowledge.

Besides, I don't find that kids will have such interest right away if they see will a gambling ads while they are watching.

Like any other advertisement, they will just ignore it and hit that "SKIP" button as they don't want to be interfered on what they are currently watching.

Don't stressed about it mate. That's not an alarming. It's impossible for me that those ads will trapped our kids into gambling. Just do our best to keep them educated in several things like gambling or any other activities that's not fit to them yet.

Here in our local, I've never seen a gambling ad as a commercial on a local television network. Mostly, streaming sites like Youtube are those that frequently place gambling-related ads.  I don't find it troublesome if gambling advertisements are shown everywhere especially if they follow the right guidelines in the first place. What else can we do? Can we stop it?

If you care for your kids I don't think we should put the blame on the advertisements but rather just do your part to help them become responsible while growing.

Gambling ads are everywhere, even at TV's ads from countries where gambling isn't totally legal. Sports betting has invaded with all strength soccer industry in my country and it's just impossible to watch a match without seeing a dozen sports betting companies being promoted meanwhile. They have also hired national athletes, actors and comedians to execute the advertisements.

What I dislike is the way advertisements are made sometimes, as influencers lead the public to the error of believing gambling is a source of extra income. They take advantage of the uneducated ones to succeed. That is not good on long term for people being deceived, neither for gambling industry, which is just going to be seen more negatively than it already is.

The gambling ads was easily get into the TV by using the money giving to the television channel.We know not all the television channel get the ads,So they accepts the ads from the gambling and made an disclaimer at the end of the ads.Which was not even hear by the innocent people,if the innocent people had share this to their friends.Then both the innocent person and his friends will loss the money.If they play with the knowledge,the possibility of losing money was low in gambling.

Gambling advertisements are prohibited under television broadcasting laws in many countries but in some countries such broadcast bans are unfortunately not enforced by regulatory and supervisory authorities. I think that if a young child sees these ads and asks questions about gambling, we should definitely not lie about it. Although a child has reached a certain age level to understand what is told to them it is a proven fact that children generally quickly understand the distinction between right and wrong that they are taught at a young age. For this reason, I think that instead of teaching false information to young children about gambling they should be taught that it is actually a bad habit.

Learning that gambling is harmful for a young child will significantly reduce the gambling habits that may occur in the future because the child will know gambling as a bad thing and will be aware that it is something that should not be played. Of course, this idea may change over time but it is possible to minimize such possibilities with the right training.

I discovered that several factors play a more significant role in initiating the habit of gambling than television and other forms of advertising. These influential factors include the family environment, peer pressure, accessibility, and the personality trait of risk-taking. These proximate factors can exert a strong influence on behavior, much like any other habit that can become addictive.

Kids are even smarter these days and are more aggressive especially when they think it's quite interesting and exciting. That's why I'm just thankful that gambling ads on television here in our country are not practiced. Otherwise, they will surely explore early gambling as well. But what's the most important is, parents should be there always when these kids have doubts in their minds, and should be prepared all the time to motivate these kids not to try things that are considered illegal for their age.

Yes, with the easy access to the internet, kids can easily learn how to play. If interest catches their attention, they can just watch tutorials
from social platforms and start playing, we can't deny the fact that even the emerging technology really helps to update our life.

But there are always other side effects of this system, without proper guidance and without that closeness to your children. It's not by far that
their young minds can be corrupted and lead them to an early addiction problems.
It cannot be denied that the influence of easy internet access can impact children. They can find any tutorial via YouTube and then try it. His parents didn't even know how to play the game until his parents had to watch the videos too. And children must be accompanied when they are watching any tutorial on the internet so that they can really understand it. Without guidance from their parents, they may get badly influenced by the internet, and if it is gambling, the impact will be even worse when they experience gambling addiction problems.

Advertisement like this is common in football channels, and some few channels, since gambling is legal in my country so nothing can be done about it, they have the right to advertise anywhere they want, but as a parent, you should be the one to caution the young one’s which you are having, if you can lock those channels( add parental control), you can always unlock it whenever you know they are not around, or maybe you can just tell them what gambling is all about and the necessary things which you think they should know about gambling, because you can’t keep on hiding those channels forever, and you can’t keep on lying to them forever, just educate them and tell them the necessary things which they should know.

As a kid, I honestly doesn’t care about the odds since I don’t know most of it especially those foregin odds when watching international channels. It’s not a big deal if your kids watch it for as long as they didn’t know it and they don’t care. The only time it will alarming is when they start asking that’s why most of the channel with that kind of ads usually have a parental guidance logo.

Gambling ads is very popular on sports channel here which I’m always watching. There’s kids and parents in my family that watching same sports with me but they never ask about ads but rather annoy about it since everyone focused on the sports we are watching and not the ads.

Most kids won’t be attracted to these types of advertisements. I know I wasn’t. Cartoons and such are more likely to attract little kids than gambling advertisements on TV. I don’t even know if kids watch TV anymore.
Gambling ads I’ve seen are mainly on sports channels and i really don’t see any problem with that. If allowed, they should be free to advertise their service like any other business. Parents should step up more in their observation and interaction with their kids.

A lot of people would probably be slightly annoyed and impatient when watching a show at advertisements being played over and over while eagerly waiting for the show to go on. Ads during a great show is also a great time to refill on snacks.

In general, perhaps young children will not be attracted by gambling advertisements that appear on television channels. However, if advertisements are shown frequently and repeatedly, to a small extent this will stimulate their (children's) thinking, making them curious about gambling. And it would be good if advertisements like this were only shown at certain times, such as in the middle of the night, when there are no longer any small children watching television because they are already fast asleep. So that gambling advertisements are shown specifically to people who are old enough.

Although gambling is illegal in my country and it’s strictly prohibited by the government, but i have seen a lot of times especially some local TV channels advertising gambling platform as like 1xbet and it’s also mostly promoted site by the social influencers in Facebook & Youtube. And it’s very common to see gambling advertisements in the International sports channels.

Well, since you are talking about YouTube, International channels and social media in general, it makes sense that you are seeing those advertisements, regardless of the political position of your administration on gambling.

Though, it would be a completely different situation if those channel where you notice the ads were from your own country, that would show some serious corruption and even lawlessness going on in your republic.

Also, not surprising it is 1xbet. They rely much of their resources in ads both on TV and on social media, since their product and quality cannot positively talk for themselves, they need to pay to create a positive facade in the eyes of the unsuspecting public. Roll Eyes
