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?

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.

It's inevitable there are sports events that are being sponsored by gambling platforms in our country its lottery, gambling is legal in our country but only those of legal age can bet, when it comes to the visibility of gambling platforms it's everywhere, we have lotto betting station on every corner of the city so its up top parent to educate their children on the reality of gambling, the gambling ads are something our children cannot avoid especially in the internet, so we have to be on alert it's not only on TV but everywhere but more so in the internet.

In our country, since I was young, I didn't see any gambling advertised on TV.
Regarding your concern, it is really concerning considering that there are so many kids watching TV. Social media become the house of advertisement for gambling, but now, it is also can be seen on TV. That feels like there is no place for the young ones to avoid gambling ads. This might trigger their curiosity about gambling. However, we can't do anything if it is being advertised on TV. The only thing you can do is to let your kid watch kid's TV or anything that matches their age.

In Serbia, gambling ads are everywhere... literally everywhere. On TV, radio, and around the town. and even though at the end of the ad, or under the ad, they say or write "This does not apply to minors" it is already too late... they saw/heard it. That is stupid, even thou I am a gambler I think that kids nowadays are bombarded with ads on every step they make. I think there should be some special places for advertising and special hours for gambling advertising... having them everywhere all the time is crazy, and this will create more problems for those kids in the future.

But it's on the government to regulate it... but they don't care as long as they are getting paid I guess.

in Italy such advertisements are illegal since some years....
It's completely forbidden any kind of gambling advertisements.
The quality here was very very low and something misleading ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKgkYxWoZ-M
See one of famous tv spots here on the youtube link.... Main claim is "Do you like to win easy?"

that's the reason actually Italians spends 20 billions of euro each year on gambling!

Gambling is legal in our country but we do not have ads like this on TV and it should not happen maybe the Indian regulatory board does not have restrictions on ads shown on TV, on our popular media our board is very strict, and the channels cannot show this kind of ads and violation will face a stiff penalty.

This is very bad for children, the government should protect the welfare of the children and show ads related to gambling ads will corrupt the minds of the children, but as parents, we should not allow our children to watch channels that advertise gambling ads, if the government cannot protect the children the parents should take action.

I'm lucky there are no gambling adverts on TV so parents don't have to worry about that. But what parents think about is the existence of these advertisements on social media because a friend of mine saw the gambling advertisement on his child's social media page and he immediately asked his child's phone to adjust the settings on his phone.

I agree that gambling advertisements should be reduced to not arouse curiosity among underage children so they do not see them too often. That way, their attention will not be focused on the gambling advertisements. And if they ask us about gambling, we should not lie to them and explain the truth to them so they can think further.

From there, there will be further discussions between parents and children where parents can explain the impact on a person if he gambles and what will happen to him in the future. It is up to the government to reduce the broadcast hours for gambling advertisements and they should change them to later broadcast hours so that children do not see gambling advertisements.

It's been years since I've watched TV, even my children, maybe because there are no interesting programs to watch on TV, which makes me not interested in watching TV except for football programs, but talking about gambling advertisements, I have never seen them on any TV show because of advertisements. Gambling is very illegal in my country so maybe I have never encountered it except at football events sometimes there are advertisements for casino sites there on the boards in the football field when the match is going on.

Unfortunately in my country it is very illegal so gambling advertisements like that will not be found even though for example gambling advertisements are legal and often shown on TV maybe if you ask me what the advertisement is I will definitely answer and explain to my child that gambling is not very good and so on. because if we forbid it, it will really make him curious and find out about it. so just explain if he asks

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

If I am not wrong in many countries advertising TV commercials is somewhat prohibited or restricted and also gambling platforms concentrate more on serious ways of advertising than just making funny ads on TV and expecting people to use them.

For example, casinos create sponsorship offer deals with popular franchise link football clubs then their logo will be in their jersey or some sort of it so whenever the team plays and the game Aired there will be millions of viewers watching the casino logo too and that is going to bring the actual customers and also creates more brand value to their name which adds further benefits.

The best way to help a child or children not to begin associating themselves to gambling and other social media stuff is not to watch those things in their presence, I understand that when it comes to ads it may just pop up abruptly while in the midst of educative TV show in form of ads but you can totally avoid tuning into such stations that it could be aired as ads, of course we can identify such stations and programs, like some TV shows that involve immoral acts are likely to also show some gambling ads because they go hand in hand.

You can't see a religious TV show or program running gambling ads on their program, so those are more apt for children, cartoons and kiddies shows. Some kiddies by themselves detest to watch any TV that is not kiddies or cartoons. So don't force them to watch those not good for their character formation.

Gambling is a big business for owners of game houses and casinos so they are surely going to have their ads littered everywhere in social media, apps, radio or TV stations and it is the duty of parents to guide their children properly until they are of age to take their own decisions.

Maybe the national lottery held by government but aside from that I don't see any casino especially online gambling sites promoting their gambling business on stations since maybe government doesn't allow any gambling advertisement since they know what implication it can bring to their citizens. I find it good actions because it can save many peoples lives to get away on possible harmful environment that can possibly introduce to them. Maybe in your case proper guidance is needed and explain to them that what you are watching is not good for them or maybe try to switch the channel if you see those ads popping up on your tv. Those ads can really affect them especially if they are expose from it for long time so much better introduce them to cartoons or any educational movies so they would forget what they see on other stations.

The ads are everywhere and are difficult to control, If you tell them lies for the one you all see on TV, you will not always be with them on their mobile phones, and as they walk the streets. There is no need to tell lies to your kids because they will later find out the truth and may become disappointed in you.

Tell them the truth and let them understand why at their age, they should not consider starting gambling because of how prone to addiction they are, and how addiction to gambling at an early stage in their life can ruin their lives. Some kids understand better than we think, we sometimes just complicate things with thinking they cannot understand because of their age.

It doesn't affect me and you. Even in countries that don't accept gambling but gambling ads run because people in that country are playing online gambling freely. How many people will the government punish! However you may know how to control your children well, but you can be lied to when making your child aware of this. Because if young children are addicted to gambling your family may face various problems in future and especially financial problems. Not only tv shows but you go to YouTube or any social media you will find gambling ads that are absolutely impossible for you to turn off. However, gambling will not be a problem for adults because everyone will consider ways to earn money.

Growing up as a kid I've never seen any gambling advertisement on TV before, I could remember many adverts on TV till today, from food items to favorite chocolate and milk shows, but never for once have I seen any casino or gambling related advertisements.

I believe this depends on your country, it's nice that I never seen such on TV while growing up because it could have affected many kids, we know children are always curious about things and they always want to try them out.

Gambling is very hated my older people from my country, they look at it like a life destroyer, they warn us to stay away from gambling, and there are so many life turned into light paper because of gambling.

It's better not to have a casino advert on TV and make sure kids watch them, I am sure they will develop a interest thinking they can be young billionaires through gambling, and those adverts can be confusing, they will use jackpots and fake past winners to deceive the audience.

It is common in Western developed countries to see such ads of course in pay per view channels like Paramount+ and CBS when I watch the games live of soccer there,it is common to see all kinds of gambling sites advertisements which are all from FIAT companies like Betfair being the most prominent one shown the most here.

If you mean that the ads in the stadium banners they are hard to forget and also unfortunately now most soccer teams are sponsored by different gambling sites so hard to ignore all of these,nothing we can do,it is business that run things and gambling is a major sponsor of them.

I am also from India and I see too too too much ads of gambling related apps and websites, this leads to many new people signing up on new platforms which may be a scam.
But I am feeling sad about those people, they are going to lose their hard earned money if they played by thinking of making money.

And these ads are not good for kids we can try to control these types of ads in mobile phones by parental control feature.
But I don't know about how to save kids from TV ads, maybe give an excuse that this is a card game app which is very boring to play.

sometimes I wanted to Blame the the government for this as they are allowing those site to advertise in regular channel in which even kids are watching.
and also those greedy station owner that conniving with those scam site that even if they don't know their activities in the beginning but after having some complaints they need to terminate the agreement but of ccourse they will not as there are money involved and not as small. there are big money inside.
but me? there are only few channels that I allow them instead i prefer them to use specific movie provider that they are using but of course limited for kids only.
so i am 90 percent safer for them not to cross gambling.

I haven't watched TV for so long and it's possible that the gambling adverts are still there today. However, instead of watching TV, I prefer to be on social networks such as YouTube, Instagram or even Twitter and indeed there I see gambling advertisements more often. I think you should be able to avoid what you have seen with your child on TV and we can't do anything about it considering that broadcasting rights also benefit from the advertising results. It's better when your child is a teenager enough that you can be honest about what he sees and besides, even if you lie, your child will become even more suspicious because basically small children like to be curious about what they see.

They are not curious about that advertisements they switch channels when ads are running. So less probability of seeing those gambling ads.
And you are right they show interest when their parents are doing it in front of them.
So parents shouldn't be playing in front of their kids. And do not share their losses and wins.

Kids start to play gambling type games at their initial age with friends but that's not to worry about.
Like they toss coin for a chance to do something, they predict who will win the match, etc.
But we need to protect them with real gambling like going into casinos offline or online.

It is completely natural that casinos advertise themselves when it comes to sport events, as not only sport events are very popular and the more people watch their ads the better, but we also know sport bets are incredibly popular as well and casinos are not going to let such an opportunity to go past them.

Now if one of your kid ask you about it you do not really need to go into detail about it, just explain to them this is something adults like to do and leave it at that.

Simple explanation to kids they will understand it rather than explaining it thorougly only a few bits of it so that they will not have questions about it.

Kids won't be curious about those advertisements which is mostly what I noticed. They are more curious when their parents start doing it and they have tons of questions about it. For example one of the scenarios that I noticed in my neighbor's kid is that he will tell the other kids that his father won some money because of gambling then he will add let's play something and our bets are stones meaning they already practice it and probably his parents haven't guided that kid.
