Gambling companies must spend money on promotions to attract people to them and get more gamblers. this is their business and everyone wants to grow their business by various advertisements. Similarly, advertising on TV channels is one of their marketing strategies. and it is very effective because when they promote their casino site banner among different sports, all the sports fans are encouraged to play for their favorite team. and gradually they started engaging in gambling

Casinos are trying to attract people with disposable income and that is clearly not kids whose only source of income is whatever their parents give them as an allowance. It is a false dilemma when people say that children are being exposed to something negative and something should be done about it. People often use protection of children as an excuse to restrict people’s freedom. It is important not to let these alarmists spread misinformation. There is no evidence suggesting that simply being exposed to gambling ads leads to children becoming degenerate gamblers and ruining their lives. It’s a completely absurd idea.

Parents aren't wrong in thinking that money is important because it's true, we live in a world where you can do nothing at all if you don't have money. However, good parents would find a way around it, which means that one parent would work and the other would stay at home with children, and the staying at home part is usually the mother's responsibility, or in most societies, women take care of the home and the men go out and work to earn a living for the family.

So what's important for parents is to make sure that their children's upbringing isn't disturbed because of their irresponsibility, while it's important to earn money, it's their duty to make sure that at least one parent stays around the children at all times.

Gambling promotions are now more and more common in almost every part of the online world And especially social media has Hughes. And when watching sports on TV, there is a lot of gambling promotions, especially in cricket, I see more gambling promotions on TV channels in my country than football or other sports. Children mainly watch cartoon channels on TV and do not show much interest in sports.  And because gambling is promoted through sports, it doesn't seem to have much impact on children. And the promotions are mainly in the form of banners. so I think it's less appealing to kids.

Although children today have become used to using electronics, we can still discipline them by setting up clear rules and limits regarding their use of the internet and other devices. Even if they are young, we can still offer them guidance and place limits on their screen time so that they will remember it as they get older. It is our responsibility as parents to discipline our kids so they don't choose the wrong road.
Yes, and by teaching our children about these concerns, perhaps we can assist them in making wise decisions and encourage a responsible attitude toward gaming. I believe that we can keep an eye on our children's online behavior and recognize any changes in their attitude that would point to a gambling problem. It is crucial to teach our children that gambling can result in addiction and can lead us to being broke.

If you say rarely, it means that advertisements about gambling still exist, but the frequency is not frequent and perhaps because there are broadcast times regulated by the government so that only at certain times such advertisements can be broadcast, like in my country where advertisements about cigarettes or adult products such as condoms can only be broadcast at night while there are no gambling advertisements at all because gambling is prohibited, however, as is your experience, gambling advertisements on social media or applications from the Play store still appear and are quite frequent and unfortunately the advertisements that appear on social media or applications cannot be blocked so we will still be able to see it.
Gambling advertisements for broadcasts on foreign television are very massive, for example, I, who is quite active in watching basketball and tennis, always see it broadcast every time there is a break, even the casino is the official sponsor and I am sure because it is legal in the country where the television broadcast is broadcast.

A child can watch football and see the advertisements so they can easily see gambling advertisements on TV channels or the internet. The advertisements featured a list of casinos that sponsored the games and if the kids were interested in the advertisements, they would visit the betting site and try to find out. This can be the beginning of children's interest in gambling and if there is no supervision from their parents or other adults, they will start gambling without their parents' knowledge.

Children's cartoons also have an appearance that is not good for children because, as you said, there is an erotic appearance of the cartoon characters that are shown, and this can also arouse children's curiosity. Only supervision and education from their parents can keep their children away from bad things like that, especially since they are still developing and curious about things. Parents also have to be wary of their children's interactions with their friends because often, their children's interactions can also trigger them to try something they shouldn't do. We may have seen children gambling with their friends when they are together and without supervision from their parents or the adults around them because adults will think they are playing together even though they are gambling with their friends.

One of the things that our kids could be able to see those gambling related things is that they could be able to see it through online on which we know that on this era on which mobile phone is already considered to be a necessity into someones life on which there's always those chances or odds that they would really be that exposed with gambling and this is something that you should really be looking upon as a parent. You would really be that vigilant and really be that attentive if ever you've seen some potential gambling dealing in secret. Although you cant really be able to spot it out easily
on which it would really be that best that you should really make out those explaination into them on what it is,and on how to avoid it.

No, I don't see advertisements for gambling on television in my nation because it doesn't apply here. I do, however, see advertisements for gambling on Facebook and YouTube, and the truth is that there is nothing we can do to stop them—unless we ban our kids from using the internet or other technology altogether—to prevent them from seeing these kinds of advertisements. Thus, when our kids watch gambling advertisements on television, it could lead to them having unrealistic expectations about the possible gains from gambling. Because such advertisements for gambling, of course, often portray gambling as a glamorous and thrilling pastime and only highlight the potential for huge financial gains, leaving their viewers—especially the younger ones—in the dark about the potential risks.
 
It would therefore be ideal, in my opinion, if you could explain to your children that such kinds of games are intended for adults alone and that playing them could be harmful to them.

That is a concerning aspect of gambling, particularly in countries where it's legal and advertising is widespread. Television and mobile applications indeed serve as powerful platforms for gambling sites to reach a broad audience, including those who may not have much experience or skill in gambling. It's unfortunate that inexperienced gamblers often face losses initially, which can lead to a cycle of chasing those losses in an attempt to recoup them. This pattern can be detrimental to people's financial and emotional well-being.

The advice for gamblers to start with smaller amounts of money until they learn the games is sound. Developing an understanding of the mechanics and risks involved in gambling is crucial before committing significant capital. Responsible gambling practices, such as setting limits on time and money spent, can help mitigate the negative outcomes associated with gambling. They need to have awareness about the potential pitfalls of gambling and responsible gambling behaviors, because it's important steps in addressing these issues within society.

I rarely see gambling advertisements on national television because gambling in some countries still regulates illegal gambling in regulations, but gambling advertisements are often seen at international football matches or at fighting events, but gambling advertisements can still be seen in online advertisements on several social media, even some Gambling applications are still available on Playstore without being blocked by the government even though the community has reported that the gambling application is against the law, there are indications that the application is controlled by certain individuals so that it is not blocked, even though it has been reported, it seems that the government is slowly allowing online gambling activities to be installed application gambling in playstore.

The legality of gambling in some countries of the world is absolutely different from legality of advertising gambling activities on the television. I've been able to see countries that accepts gambling as a legal engagement by her citizens but forbids the advertisement of gambling in their national TVs because to them, they believe that advertising gambling on national TVs is going to expose underage children to gambling at early stage which might ruin their future.
That being said, I don't think such regulations are practiced in my country because gambling advertisments are shown on national TVs even during the day.

The gambling was legal in some countries,So the gambling site will publish their advertising in the mobile application and even in the television.The television was the easiest way to reach even the layman,So the gamblers with less skill will reach the gambling site.But if they are really not good skill person,the initial games in the gambling site will give them the loss.But the sad part in this was the gambler start to target the previous loss in the gambling site.The gamblers are advice to play the initial games with less money capital.Because till the gamblers learn the game the outcome will be negative one in gambling site.

Steam has blurred the barriers between games and virtual goods. The blend is addictive, especially for young, unsuspecting brains drawn into the purchase, sell, and trade cycle for the next "rare" drop. This is a discreetly inserted digital age gambling gateway, not just a gameplay oddity.

Yes, Facebook and Instagram reinforce this, but in different ways. Their captivating algorithms promote unlawful slots games, making gambling seem respectable on social media. It sneaks past television and into regular digital encounters.

Promoting fun gambling requires defining responsible participation. Gambling and winning can be part of a balanced entertainment diet. It requires awareness and control, especially when the digital and real merge and ensnare the young. Its about creating a culture where enjoyment thrives on educated choice and moderation, not vulnerability.

Most of these adverts are done on sports channels and I don't see anything wrong with a child watching football. The reason why most of this football betting website prefers advertising on a football channel is because the audience they need are ones watching football. It is difficult to see an individual who doesn`t watch football to be involved in sports betting.

We have recommended cartoons for kids but some of these cartoons have erotic content capable of corrupting our kids so what should we do? Parenting the child from watching TV? Even exposing them to physical activity doesn`t mean that they are immune from being corrupted. We should understand the role of peers on kids and even as parents if we are careful not to expose our kids to gambling-related content, what about other careless parents? Personal observation shows that most times friends emulate gambling habits from friends. A friend taught me how to gamble and I know it is similar to other persons because I have taught some of my guys how to gamble too. As a parent, you can only do your best but unfortunately, your best doesn`t change anything.

Well, I also see some ads of the gambling casino on my TV during a match but those sites are either local or not so popular. I never played at those sites.
Also, I believe that most of the sportsbooks do not target the TV audience for gambling marketing. They would rather focus on social media as they know that youth are mostly active on social media more than anything else.


Well, i do not understand if children can get influenced by just gambling ads on TV and not see any other wrong advertisements  Today is the era of Internet and mobile phones and they can see a lot of things that they should not see. I guess the parents have to play their part here in telling children what is good for them and what is bad for them. Also, parents can guide the minors that these ads are basically money driven by the companies and all the ads may not necessarily display good products or services.

Yes, addiction with young people is a real thing and sadly it's not just about the traditional gambling schemes. Even with the most popular gaming platform, Steam, big part of their money making ndeavours is that they allow people to buy, sell and trade virtual items that can be acquired through supposed random drops. So this is one of the first signs of addiction for young people. They didn't need the TV or anything to tell them, it was shoved into their face since even before their teens maybe simply for playing a game. Facebook and instagram do similar things with their ads, promoting unlicensed slots games.

So really the issue is not just TV when it comes to children. 

I have never seen advertisements on television about gambling and casino sites but in today's era online and social media these gambling advertisements create such a disturbing environment that is always displayed on the mobile display. Facebook, YouTube, and various Tik Tok channels are currently full of advertisements for these gambling and casino sites. However, it has been officially banned in my country, so no television authority advertises this gambling and casino site. However, advertising on YouTube and Facebook about gambling and casino sites quickly became widely known.

If it’s legal and allowed in a country, why still should there be a ban for casinos to advertise and make themselves known to the public? Also, I don’t think gambling ads have that much of an effect on young children as you seem to think. They’re more likely to ignore such advertisements as the ads aren’t designed as they’re aren’t intended for young minds.

The responsibility of raising kids right rests primarily with the parents. People won’t just give up legal activities they enjoy because it could have a bad influence on your kid. If you as a parent dislike certain activities and advertisements cause you think it might influence your kid, it’s on you to make adjustments to suit your preferences for your kid and not to clamor for its outright ban.

You have a point, but please keep in your mind that there's also a minor viewers in television so we need to atleast consider them.
It is also better that when gambling is promoted on television, not only the positive effects are told, it is also necessary to have disclaimers. if you look, there are too many advertisements on social media today, and we know that many young people are more active on social media, so at their young age, they already know about gambling, and they even use fake identity and age just to gamble.
