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.
Yes, it's very prevalent now a days, not just on TV though, it's on mobile phones, on the internet. And we all know that in this age, every kid in the world has access t to least one if all.
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?
It's very different to answer, because we are not on our kids 24x7 and as much as we want to see what they are watching or seeing in those gadgets, sooner or later they will have to encounter it and maybe some of them are curious about it. So I guess that best thing to do as parent is just somewhat be on the lookout, maybe from time to time check their gadgets for something unusual. If they ask about it, then explain to them that they shouldn't be involving themselves at the young age about gambling. So it's about our responsibility as a parent or guardian to our kids and children.
