Topic: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. - page 13. (Read 1644 times)

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 kids asks 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.

99% chance that Indian kids already have seen those ads and may be even google searched it already especially if the casino has a logo of a cuddly animals. But it disnt stop Australia from banning gambling ads on TV though. I think they still did the right thing and leave the online ads alone.

If your kid asks about it, just don't lie for they will find out about it and find out you lie.

Casino or gambling ads are mostly seen on social media. I think we can't stop these ads at will. We should control our children and stop them from these gambling ads. If they get into gambling at such a young age.  Their future will be very bad. If we can keep our children careful then they can stay away from gambling. If we do not discipline our children properly then they will get involved in various crimes including gambling.

Since I live in a country where gambling is considered as illegal thing, so I have never seen gambling ads on local TV channel. Lets say gambling is legal in my country and casinos can advertise it on local TV channel, I think it is fine as long as there is specific time when such an advertisement is allowed in order to avoid kids watching it. Anyway, I think that local TV channel is no longer attractive since few years back, most people moved from TV to social media such as netflix to watch favorite movies and move to other online services for other type of entertainment such as sports. With this situation, I think casino wont be willing to spend money to advertise in local TV channel because there are many other places in the internet which is being used by most people more and more than TV.

Such advertisements are often seen on various sports related TV channels. Where live betting is encouraged. This will definitely have a negative impact on kids. However, it is almost clear that there is no action by the TV media or the government in this regard. Because governments can earn large revenues in countries that have licensed casinos or gambling platforms. So they take no action from their position. We should definitely discourage those with kids from viewing those ads otherwise there is no alternative to avoid it

It is very rare nowadays on public TV to see this type of advertisement, strange, the real danger is not a casino advertising on any public television, which I repeat is very rare, alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and betting are regulated for those traditional news channels.

The consideration must be made with the Internet,although companies like Google Ads prohibit them, they sneak in, but there is a part of the market in other companies that distribute advertisements, Google is the greatest exponent of impressions for any advertisement, not is the only advertising provider.

The point is that if you are worried about the advertisement that appears on television, really!, I think you are making the issue up, a parent today knows that the danger, the real danger is on the Internet, if you really are, you know that there are real dangers today, beyond a television commercial.

You want to have control with your child, use things like the Family Link App, to find the true control you should have over your child, then on platforms like Youtube, if your child is under 13, use Youtube Kids, it's not perfect but even things like comments are banned, they can't make them and you can't read them, among other interesting things like preventing them from at least accessing Youtubers, which can lead your child down the wrong path, not only in the orientation but in the execution of make things download from the Internet in malicious links, etc.

I read some posts above, where someone says; "talk to your son...so that he doesn't continue down the wrong path..." lol and that person has a signature from a casino.

Come on, the problem is not in the commercial , it's you, it's the environment, that's what forms it, not a 30-second advertisement, unlike internet advertising that runs 24 hours/7 days, and in that same sense, youtubers, and the little ones in the home connecting not 30 seconds, hours and hours.

Then you are going to worry about a television commercial, I am more worried as a parent about the hours my child can spend on a cell phone or any smart device that can be connected to.

Finally, let's talk about the realities, which we have to talk about on this board, e.g. from the point of view of poker, analyzing your few words and the meaning you are giving them, you are making a Bluff with this thread, you have nothing, you are bluffing.

^{#TBT Topic}

Here in my country, I don't see any ads about gambling probably because gambling creates a negative impact on most of our societies here. So I don't worry things like that. But a lot of gambling ads have been flooding all over the internet that's why I have to set the notifications on their smart phones. However, I really believe that whether it's in television or in social media, gambling ads should always be prohibited so that gambling casinos cannot recruit their soon to be slaves for gambling.

I live in a country where the government takes gambling addiction seriously, so not even for licensed casinos would you ever see advertisements for gambling and whatever. It's just flat out disallowed.

I think this is good cause for one, not a lot of people watches TV anymore, and the fact alone that kids could see it is a cause for concern already, no matter how many people the kids are with (Phones are so accessible now that even kids who haven't gone to puberty gained access to phones and the social media which is another issue for another topic but whatever). So to cut the middleman and solve the problem right where it hurts the most, just flat out banning casinos from getting advertised on local television is as good a plan as any, at least in my government's logic.

Unfortunately yes, and even if we have the regulation when it comes to this, it looks like they still allowing it and the minor who are watching it will suddenly get an idea about it and for me its not a good one. We should limit the exposure of our Children to online and continue guiding them and if they asked the question better to explain it well to them on why they should not watching that kind of ads because of its risk. The regulation should be more strict on monitoring such ads, because its not safe at all.

In my country, gambling activities are strictly prohibited so there are no gambling advertisements circulating on TV channels, but on social media, with all the existing limitations, the government in my country cannot completely prohibit advertisements circulating on social media. And for now we all need to know that it seems like social media is more popular than TV channels, and those who join social media are not only people who are mature enough both physically and mentally, but almost everyone who joins social media, including children. Many underage children also join social media. So this is where direct supervision and special assistance from parents is needed for children. If possible, don't give smartphones to children until they are old enough because currently illegal gambling admins don't only make offers via social media, but via cell phones and short messages, I often encounter this.
However, through telephone lines and even short messages, I often encounter this.

in my country, gambling is no longer allowed.  So, we never see gambling advertisements on TV. However, on the internet, there are lots of gambling advertisements, even several influencers and artists in my country are also part of gambling advertisement promotions on social media. be it on a YouTube channel or IG network.  but whatever it is, whether on TV or the Internet, it's all the same. after all, advertising can be everywhere. Moreover, now we are more used to the internet than TV.

Well, the point is, if you are a parent, father or mother. Your job is not to lie to them, just explain the necessary parts according to their understanding at their age. I have a son, he is very active with his smartphone. Even though I have limited the access allowed, it is not impossible that they don't know about gaming. The games vary, even as we discuss gambling games. advertising, and all that. gradually, they will figure it out as they grow.
And as I said at the beginning, if you can't stop the circulation of advertisements on TV, banners, and the like. There's not much you can do, because they also pay for advertising services plus tax. So, we can only apply the best education to them. with a good approach, and provide understanding according to the child's age.

Man, I haven't heard of TV in a long while. They're rather different from internet ads since afaik, ads in your browser are catered to what you mostly browse yourself through some magic that google does idk really how, but yea that's usually how I see it, while on TV, ads should be regulated depending on the channel you usually watch. Now if a channel was littered with gambling adverts, I reckon the channel itself is either deeply involved with sports or gambling.

Honestly if the issue was about gambling, just explain it to them, maybe even guide them if they wanted to. If they get a deep interest, beat the shitout of them (IN GAMBLING) even if you have to cheat just so that they know they'd always lose no matter what. A lot better than them doing it on their own without you knowing anything.

If there are existing gambling ads through the national television, I think that they really need to set frequency or set a time when they will allow to show that as a commercial.

But these commercials or ads chooses the right time slot when they want to show because that's their target market are active for that time.

If the government that allows this and it's not being tackled by people concerning the impact of it to the kids and teenagers. Setting time like near midnight or midnight to show it publicly is the right time for it if they can't disable it.

Well that would be very effective in a country like mine because the rate at which gambling and gambling sites are being advertised is just too much and this is totally causing this particular effect that you are talking that is influencing the mind of children to gamble at a very tender age. In my country gambling is the like a daily work or job for the common man Because of the ratio of hardship and struggle and everyone is just hoping that they would get that one lucky chance to escape from their struggles in lifem

Gambling advertisements also exist even in kids show in Youtube. They appear without our control and most of them are indian ads. Honestly, we can't stop these ads but what we can do is just to remind our kids about the risks of gambling if they have the enough understanding to adapt our explanation. It is our responsibility to guide them and monitor their online activities. I have enlighten my kids about these gambling ads and they're just ignoring and skipping them from time to time.

You can't lie to them forever, sooner or later they will realize that those ads are related to gambling and they'll conduct their own research to find out. I think the best way is to make sure that you don't watch channels that shows these types of ads when your children are present.

For example, just as you would avoid watching +18 channels on TV when your kids are around you should do the same with channels that advertise gambling regularly.

In your country the gambling was not regulated in the proper way,it may be the reason for the gambling advertising on the Television.If you are not satisfy with his ads,you can report same to the concern ministry.So they will help to short this in the shorter period of time,by the television adverting.Many innocent people will try this game for atleast once.If they use the 10$ for the fist time of the game.Kindly make the rough figure of 10$ with 5 million of people.It’s around the value of 50 million dollars to that website.This website was seems fishy,Rummycircle.Then the Rummy123 and A23 Rummy,for this gambler from India can try crypto based casino.

Well, as a parent, you may only explain the kid about what it is and why it should not be done by them (at least at this age because it's not legal for them). However, we can't help out much because the ads will still run and we can't even block (or hide) it, such option should be there (but as it's TV, the master idiot box, nothing can be done because the ads are the backbone of these daily soaps, sports and whatever is shown on TV). 

This is where parenting would kick in.  

On the time that they would really be making out some questions then it would really be just that right that you should really be needing for them to know on what it is.
This is where you would really be trying out to explain and telling things which gambling is really that bad or must be avoided. We know that in todays generation which our children is really that
exposed to those kind of advertisement on which it would really be that totally resulting into those kind of encounter and on the time that you arent around?
For sure those curiosity would kick in.

This is why it would really be just that better that you should really be that telling them while early so that on the time that they would encounter it in next time then
they would really be remembering on what you have said about it and they would be that acting accordingly with it.

You don't really need to lie to your kids about it if they aren't too young to not understand anything and ask you about it, you can simply tell them that it's something where people make bets and they lose money and that is why it's not a good thing. You can find a different way to tell them so that they can have a negative perception about gambling at that age which will prevent them from getting involved with gambling until they reach a certain age in their lives.

Children have clear and empty minds, and it's our responsibility to fill those empty blocks with useful and correct information that can be good for them in the long run instead of being confused and blaming the world or things for spoiling our children. Our upbringing plays a great role in this situation.
