I think it only applies in some countries or is allowed in some countries because in my country, TV channels are not allowed to advertise anything related to gambling, as we have what we call the "MTRCB," or "Movie and Television Review and Classification Board," which is in charge of reviewing anything that is shown on television. What you should also worry about is social media, because gambling advertisements are more prominent on that platform, and by clicking the link, your child could easily access the website, accidentally or not.

While that eliminates a worry for the parents living in your country, there are simply too many avenues for kids to learn about gambling today, and as you mention it is way more likely that kids these days will find out about it when using their smartphones than when watching TV.

However unlike TV the internet cannot be regulated that easily, and with this in mind parents need to talk to their kids about this topic so they are prepared in the case some of their friends gamble and decide to invite them to the activity.

You are right because there are so many advertisements on social media now and gambling advertisements that anyone can see. Apart from that, the advertisement is made as attractive as possible to attract attention and many people will click and visit the link. Also now people, adults and children can access gambling sites easily and if they find it blocked by their country, they can look for other ways to continue visiting the gambling site. Children may not often see advertisements on television, but the ease of using the internet can enable them to visit gambling sites by chance.

And I agree that gambling advertising on television is prohibited, because television is the most common device and is often watched by all ages. Especially underage children because most of them watch television in their free time or on holidays.
So in my opinion it is not appropriate for them to watch, and if they often see gambling advertisements on television it will make them feel curious, and if they access or download because they are curious it will have a bad impact on them.
And I'm sure all parents love their children and will definitely oppose gambling advertisements on television, and that doesn't mean they think gambling is bad, but certainly for certain age groups. While this is the case in some countries, I'm sure some parents would be uncomfortable with gambling advertising on television because they don't want their children involved.

Although that's correct, but the OP is pointing out those ads you have seen in a sport channel.
I understand the local TV channels doesn't usually allow these kind of ads, but in most sports channel I guess they have this kind of an immunity in airing gambling or casino ads. Well, of course it is understandable because it is not a kids channel in the first place, but I've heard there were also limits.
I've often heard that casino being broadcast as a form of ads in the NBA.
So, I guess it's hard for us to keep our child away from watching his favourite sport, especially that you have plans on making him an athlete soon. Best thing to do for now is to lie about it, they'll probably understand when they're on our shoes soon.

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?

Gambling ads are often seen on TV channels. Banner ads of various gambling sites are seen especially in different cricket and football match like I saw ads of sportsbet.io some time on TV but it was banner ads on football League match. And if you talk about social media like Facebook, YouTube then I would say gambling sites use this platform the most for their advertisement. And the sites that have already earned a lot of revenue run ads on TV because running ads on TV is very costly.

Yes, that's right, I've also seen gambling advertisements on TV as you mentioned above, even at that time I was watching with my children, and I immediately changed the TV channel so that my children wouldn't ask what was in the advertisement. . . , because it is not time for me to provide an understanding of gambling and its impacts.
However, if gambling advertisements appear on YouTube, for example, it is difficult to stop them because parental supervision can sometimes be missed and not optimal when children are playing on gadgets. This is very worrying especially for parents.

There will always be a gambling ads. And the probability of kids getting exposed to these ads is very high. There is nothing a parent can do about the ads because it is out of their control but when it comes to the kids a responsible parent must not hide anything that he or she knows will be damaging to the kid's future away from the kid. You must be truthful about what the ad is about and what it entails. We know that gambling in itself is not bad but what is bad is when it is over done. These are the points that an intentional parents must emphasize to his or her kids when talking to them about gambling in the case that an ad pops up on television.

The number of kids that will give their attention to those ads is not very high, so most parents will be able to get away with it without doing anything.

I think a more important lesson is to teach kids from an early age about how the economy and money works, and if you add teaching them the value of money as well then most likely you will not have anything to worry about, as even if other kids were to expose them to gambling, they will simply not be very interested in it due to the lessons you have imparted to them.

Whether it's the truth or the wrong info, kids will want to try out when your are not around the house, it's better you ignore them and change the topic of discussion, kids are getting smatter day by day.

As far as today and civilization is concern, lying to your kids will do them more harm than good but I will pretend that I don't know about anything that has to do with sensitive content, will teach them about that when I think it's right. When your run from truth, that's the when they turn inquisitive of that and want to try that especially when gambling has advertisement of trying out service that are been air on those channels and I don't want to wake up and see my niece doing what I do at my adult age, no kids of mine yet. Cool

Personally, when I have or if I'm in such situations of gambling ads, I will change the channels for the sake of my kids doing what I may not know about, satellite TV stations have restricted way of muting some channels and password them. If I know that the kids will go to that level of watching that channels behind my back, I will lock it, we will not watch that again but I may but only if they are asleep or not around the house.

If you are from the developing country citizen,you will surely had come across the advertisement in the Television.The advertising in the television will affect the huge population including the children to the gambling game.Because all set of the age group was watching the television.So they get some curiosity in the practise of the game.But the old age people also start to gamble after the televising advertisement because the ad will trigger their feeling in the gambling from their young age memories.

I think don't lie to them.
When they ask what it is, just give them an idea of how harmful it is, especially to children.
Just tell the truth so they will understand when they grow up.

Because for me if you lie to them and they find out the truth they might learn it the wrong way and try it.
In today's time we can't avoid children knowing this, because there are many influencers out there promoting it even though they know many children are watching it. It's widespread now in our country that influencers promote any adds about gambling

Exactly, you will guide your child so that he does not go astray. We can't really avoid introducing gambling to them now because there are many influencers out there or others promoting it. Others can also be found in add-ons so please always be careful in your actions.

With guidance from their parents, we can direct them not to gamble. We have to be able to explain gambling clearly so that they don't get the wrong information. We can also set the device not to display advertisements that are not suitable for children so that these advertisements do not influence them. And don't let them use their devices for too long because that can make them lazy to do other things. If they are too busy with their devices, they will not care about their surroundings because they are more concerned with their devices and updates from their social media.

I think for gambling advertisements only a few countries do that because indeed for my country gambling is still not allowed and is still illegal for all parties to consume even though there are still some conditions where some places for gambling exist but this is still something taboo.
Especially if it is used as an advertisement, it seems that this still does not exist and is unlikely to happen in my country.
For the problem of gambling advertisements on television, there should be some rules that must be set even if the government allows gambling but there must be restrictions where gambling advertisements must be at certain times so as not to be seen by children.

Never. My country strictly prohibits gambling. it's not easy to advertise, right? it should be illegal and should not be advertising. but I'm sure not all countries make gambling illegal. I'm sure some countries which they might say are developed countries are more accepting of gambling. then it will probably be better because there is an industry coming in, even though it is bad if it is addicted but it must be admitted that gambling is also a gaming industry.

Everything need to be taught, any parents shouldn't have a thought like bad things must no to be taught because it will make their kids try it. Every kids have their own choice, even the parents are a doctor, they must not force their kids to become a doctor too.

So that's why the best is teach everything, explain both of the advantages and disadvantages, let them choose their journey and the risk of choosing that.

I'm not sure whether casinos don't consider it a serious way of advertising or not but I guess you are right that most countries have a restriction or prohibition on gambling-related TV commercials because I've never seen one my entire life, maybe they are allowed in countries where gambling is legal but I also think that one reason for this might be because minors also watch TV and they know it isn't a good thing to show kids gambling advertisements.

I am sure there is, and just the same restrictions for cigarette, Liquor, and many others even in the country where those things are legal you can't see their advertisements on TV commercials. So they have to find other ways to brand their names and successfully do it in many other ways which are more effective, a lot cheaper than air an ad on TV and especially I don't know how many people are really watching TV in these busy days and we got everything in our palm so-called smartphone.

Well, it's true that the internet has changed the dynamics of a lot of things, especially if we talk about advertisements. People may still watch in some parts of the world, but it's not as often as it used to be before when smartphones and the internet were not as popular or used as much as they are being used right now. Nowadays, people are mostly online doing anything, so companies and firms choose to advertise their products and services on the internet more than making TV commercials.

So, online advertisements nowadays are way more effective than TV commercials because the target audience sitting in front of TVs is smaller in number than those who are available online, and it's way easier to reach your targeted audience through online ads compared to commercials aired on TV.

Most of those casinos are advertising online because they know that they can freely do this without limited restriction and they can spread their business thru the help of influencers. They can easily do that online since if i;m not mistaken there's no law yet sue those influencers for promoting any casino that they want that's why we can see a lot of advertisement thru the video we watch online. In TV we can't see this since they are been disallowed to do so maybe due to the law imposed that against promoting it to their jurisdictions.

Online advertisement became their option since this is more cheapest and less hassle for them since they can easily gain traffic because most of the people right now are spending a lot of time online rather than watching TV at home.

For me, I think you can tell them but only if they ask. Children have their way of getting answers and trust me, you want them to hear it from you rather than from an outsider. So, just like you teach them what is good and bad, let them know the huge disadvantages that come with it. Let them know that it is and should never be an option that they should look up to. Give them examples of people who lost everything because of gambling. I believe that this way, if anyone speaks of gambling, they'll remember what dad told them.

Children have their own way of finding answers but often ask their parents about something. And they want to know what their parents think about what they ask so that they might ask more questions. We can also explain to them correctly and not lie so they can get the correct information from us as parents. We can give examples and consequences so that they can think about what will happen to their future if they gamble.

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?

There was an announcement recently that ICC is now allowing gambling sponsors to display their ads and I guess that is why these ads have increased.
Earlier it wasn't displayed on so many platforms but these days its displayed almost everywhere.
I guess other than educating our kids not to fall for it there's nothing we can do about it.

You make it sounds as if education was not good enough to face the problem of not wanting your kids to get into the gambling world.
We should not underestimate what a small lesson about Math , statistics and the laws of game can do, so anyone is aware on the actual chances of getting money out a casino.

Kids are more intelligent than people think. So if one has a 8-10 year old son, it would be advisable to start to talk to them about chances, it is simple enough, one can use a coin or a dice to start. In most universities where science and engineering is taught, those are recurrent subjects anyways (more complex, of course).

If only education system of every country was so good then there would be intelligent people today all around the world.
But the fact is that there are a lot of stupid people than intelligent ones. Coming to the topic, I feel it is absolutely required for a parent to monitor his children.
If we don't then chances are there that he/she might wrong decisions which they should have avoided.
Guiding our children to the right path should be the first priority.
