At what age do you think the kids should learn about gambling games?
I did learn to gamble when I was a kid playing cards with friends and scratch cards. It isn't really serious money as they were just dimes. It still developed our social life as a kid but this is the time when we don't have internet yet.

This time around the kids can download apps and can find out how to make money online which they will be interested in once they need money. I wouldn't be surprised if they sign up on onlyfans and that would be more disturbing.

I suggest that you quote government regulations or policies that prohibit gambling in India, because we do not know in detail the policies of each country with different regulations. I am looking for information regarding the gambling policy in India which only prohibits gambling advertisements on television but gambling advertisements in print media, social media platforms and other media are still allowed, you can correct me if my explanation is wrong so that we know the actual policy that applies in your country .

If you watch cricket with your children, you must teach your child to focus on sports techniques and teach him to ignore the gambling advertising boards in the area around the field. If you often find gambling advertisements during match breaks, then switch to another broadcast to avoid children watching gambling ads on television.

I think it's simply that the parties find a voice in using the service with each other. One time while accidentally using it during lunch, I accidentally turned on a channel with content introducing online gambling.
At that time, people claimed that in convenient times they could advertise anything, but children didn't care much, so sometimes we were afraid of the problem of accessing information in the next generation, but It seems that it is just an objective view. Wishing good things for everyone, I believe that as long as the product is suitable for the age content, it will be interesting for them to appear a lot.

Just like political posters and billboards so is gambling advertisement in the capital city of my country also, although i dont know whether or not gambling is regulated over here but then we have the responsibility to divert our kids attention from things that we believe that are harmful to they mental well being at that time.


But so much so, in as much as we try to do that, there are chances that earlier education can help in this direction because when you observed that your kids can comprehend some reality you can expose them to little inside experience and it dangers, in doing so you are helping to shape they mind against the future and wether we like it or not, we are going free them at some stage of they life to experience and explore they world.
Some time we have to play some documentary on the dangers of gambling addictions to the kids to let tgem know what awaits anyone who allows himself to slide into gambling addictions.

The government can only regulate local television programs, for international programs, football matches or certain sports are recognized as legal and are sometimes sponsored by large casinos, advertising is very normal but usually, it's just quite small ads, it feels like their government also has relative regulations to somewhat limit the impact of gambling. And I think these are just small strategies of casinos, they mostly target internet platforms and free areas like social networks, TV does not leave enough gadgets for a user to be impressed with gambling

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.

Whether it a lottery or anything related to any form of gambling activity there will definitely be prohibitions and regulations regarding advertising on TV broadcasts because the government is also unlikely to allow TV channels that have shows promoting gambling even though gambling is legal in that country.
Gambling advertisements can have a bad impact on the development gaps of children or those who are still students because they will make them curious and then try to gamble.
Gambling advertisements have been numerous and spread on social media so it is impossible to get permission for advertising on TV broadcasts because some the state really limits it.

It not surprising that the government doesn't really have strong consistency because some individuals will take advantage of situations like this to make money by asking for taxes.
Or maybe what is meant is a charity lottery which is implemented by several countries but I can't help but wonder if they have different thoughts about this because if you think about it logically all forms of activity that involve risking money or valuables is gambling.

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.

Depend with country regulation about gambling is legal or an illegal platform, based on in my country gambling is illegal platform never see any advertising on TV with gambling platform but they try to advertise trough an illegal way by social media platform. I don't think efficiency when advertising gambling platform on TV because due fastest of technology development right now social media platform like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and other platform more benefit to get interest for advertising of gambling than TV.
Some countries have regulation with gambling they will not allowed for advertising on TV for gambling platform in productive time, usually will show or advertise on TV when late due protecting from children or TV programme for adult not for children.

Not on television but on YouTube. I don't think you can control it when it's on the local channel.
But if it is on YouTube then there's a solution. Make them their own accounts that are controlled by you. That's the only way you can avoid this. YouTube only gathers information from your watch history so you don't want to mix whatever you are watching with theirs. If you only have one television then don't forget to change accounts whenever you are using it. That way you can still watch whatever you want without infecting theirs.
I think I have erased and blocked a lot of history with my kids' accounts just so they would not see content that is not for their age.
Or, you could just use the other feature which is only for kids. Mostly cartoons or people who made kids content. There's no bad advertisements there.

What is a lottery? because I think this is part of gambling, so why can it pass the advertising services inspection and have sponsors? Of course I see it often, in fact every day there are events such as guessing, choosing a set of boxes that have number symbols in them, there are big prizes if you are lucky. Isn't the concept of gambling in it? they don't realize it or it's just that there isn't the word gambling in the title of the show.

Now this is the government's inconsistency, openly prohibiting this type of gambling but it seems they forget that gambling can be in any form and if we understand the concept of gambling and the game we will smile at what we see on television, even small children watch, this concerns guessing, betting to exchange a number for another number.

This type of hidden gambling is packaged in such a way and displays concepts above the concept of gambling.

Advertisements about gambling sites I think is one of the most ads we now see on our screens and sometimes it pops up during important and educative TV shows that are being watched by all even children. Though at the end of the ads, they'll still let viewers know that gambling is solely for people of 18 years and above but that won't stop some children from participating from it. Young minds are believed to very inquisitive and always want to do what they've never done before and sometimes they end up ruining their future because of the fact that they really want to do what they've never done before. So I think it not good to be displaying such ads during the day when children will definitely be watching the screens so it doesn't expose them to gambling before they reach adulthood

Ads, ads, and more ads, they're everywhere! Its practically impossible to shield the kids from all these ads. And gambling ads? Well, they are the most dangerous. What can we do, right? Ads on TV, ads online, ads everywhere the eye can see.

There is no avoiding the truth: commercials promoting gambling will continue for the foreseeable future. So, what are we going to do? Let's not keep these things a secret from our kids or tell them lies about them. Deal with it directly.

You should explain it to them, warn them about the risks, and assure them its not a magical land where money grows on trees. While we're about it, let's start advocating for less advertisements related to gambling, particularly during family watching hours.

When you start to lie to them, then you are compromising everything for yourself. You will always look for lies, which you will always use to cover up what you told them before, so I don't know how long you will keep on hiding the truth from them, because I am sure they will still end up finding out what gambling is all about. They can just search on Google and get all the information they need. They might be deceived and motivated to gamble by the information they see on Google and some advertisements they see on social media that say people are making money through gambling. But if you open up to them and tell them what gambling is really all about, tell them to avoid gambling, or ask them to avoid gambling addiction, It's better to just be open to them because children can learn to gamble anywhere, and if they don't have proper orientation, they might end up addicted to gambling, which is really bad.

If you are in a country where gambling is illegal, then any TV channel that can advertise any gambling site might end up being sanctioned for that, so no TV channel will even take that risk no matter the amount that they will be paid. But in countries where gambling is legal, you will see gambling site advertising on different TV channels, you will see gambling site advertisements even on the street. So you can't hide anything from your kid for a long period of time, it's better to open up to them and warn them.

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.

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.

I don't have cable and I haven't installed an antenna on my television so it is only used for YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, etc. It's seldom that I can see gambling ads on Youtube but lately, I am always seeing this bingo type of online betting.

During sports games though it is common to see sports betting advertisements. I don't understand why we need to lie in case our children are asking about it. Why not answer them the truth and educate them in the right manner? It's like risking your ice cream money, you get 2 scoops if you win but no ice cream if you lose.

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.

I think it is definitely a good suggestion. If a father asks his young child any question after seeing such gambling advertisement then surely that father should give him proper explanation. There is no harm in clarifying the negative aspects of it in front of him. I have seen many children who want to do the activity more enthusiastically the more a parent forbids them from doing it. So of course if something is hidden then they can be more curious which can definitely lead to danger for them later. If they suddenly raise any question about such advertisement then he should be given a good idea about it according to his merit so that he does not try to find out about it secretly.

In my country I rarely see it unless you watch a sports coverage, most ads here being used are about food, body care, etc. I don't think kids would be able to understand it already unless that's a genius one or they are at age that already doing some mild gambling stuffs. I don't think lying with them will do good it's best you explain them the truth and the implications it will bring if you end up getting addicted on it.
