Topic: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. - page 8. (Read 1728 times)
In my country, gambling advertisements are not allowed on television. However, there are excessive ads on social media platforms such as Facebook. If your children ask you what it is? You should explain them precisely and don't lie. Explain to them that they can't gamble at their age since there's a restriction of only 18+ above. Show them the negative consequences of gambling, such as addiction and its impact on one's life.

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?

Some countries are very liberal on gambling ads and this is not good for the morale of the households the community should ask their government for restrictions, we don't have this in our country because our government is lenient to our religion's teaching of restricting gambling, although our lottery is government run and funded they are not posting ads on private television network they just show the ads on government-run TV which is not popular on every household.

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.
There are different types of gambling ads and they are allowed to run without restrictions in my country. I noticed that they always end with "gamble responsibly". But they make no effort to ensure that their custyrw doing so.
There may be guidelines regulating casinos as I don’t think they would be allowed to run without any restrictions. Why do you think they always remind people to gamble responsibly if they are not required to do so? Do you think they actually care about people being responsible when gambling? They don’t. They’re there to make profits and would love to have people irresponsible and careless with money, play more.
How then do you propose casinos enforce responsible gambling among their customers? Do you think it’s in their best interests?

Another type of gambling ad that is allowed is lottery ads. This counta as gambling right? There are ads on them too but people don't take them too seriously like they do with conventional gambling.

for my local TV , I've never seen it, and in my country is also aggressively arresting gambling influencers, so it's impossible for gambling advertisements to appear on TV.
but online gambling advertisements are very disturbing if we open web,n social media , sometimes 2-3x gambling advertisements will appear on my social media pages
maybe because where you live prohibits gambling or has a law prohibiting gambling, is that true?but online gambling advertisements are very disturbing if we open web,n social media , sometimes 2-3x gambling advertisements will appear on my social media pages
well, if its true, it natural that you will never see gambling advertisements on your TV, but if you say you are very disturbed by seeing online gambling advertisements on the application you have on your smartphone, I think it your own fault. I mean you often open gambling sites or always look for information or anything about gambling on Google. so that Google will automatically provide suggestions for gambling advertisements and will spread them to several social media that you have.
and if you want to avoid this problem there are several ways to block gambling ads and these methods are in another thread that you can practice yourself.
If you're using cables, there are options to evade such incessant ad,... Privacy for Children can solve that too.
How long we gonna hide what from them?? Have you ever explained what shows on TV set to your children?? That's absolutely unnecessary. You seee, children are really sensitive especially over the things they see, talkmore of explaining anything to Thier understanding.
The solution is; if you don't gamble at all, they ain't gonna be any chance for them to learn. You should be a major role model for your kids yeahh?

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
These days kids easily understand what is being promoted through advertisements. These gambling platforms make advertisements showing simple games that are commonly played. Anyone would easily fall for it, and think of giving it a try.When they ask what it is, just give them an idea of how harmful it is, especially to children.

Gambling is business for the owners. This makes them promote it through all possible means and enjoy the revenue. In the advertisement they just give disclaimer which is according to the broadcasting rules. When they're briefed and the real probability is understood people surely take gambling in the right way than falling for it.
Do you really think it is going to prevent children from knowing the gambling/ casino sites?
No, if you want children to stay away from gambling then creating awareness about the importance of money and how much hours of work are put by their parents to get their salary every month then the kids realize where to spend money and where they should not.
Well said mate, it has actually become a normal phenomenon now that gambling site promotions are being given on tv channels. Moreover, such ads can be seen not only on TV channels but also on other platforms, starting from YouTube. In my opinion, in this digital age, if children are connected to these devices, then they can come in front of them. In this case, it is not enough to think that these should not be displayed in front of them.No, if you want children to stay away from gambling then creating awareness about the importance of money and how much hours of work are put by their parents to get their salary every month then the kids realize where to spend money and where they should not.
So we have to think that if these come in front of them, they should take it negatively because under age gambling will never bring anything good. In this case what and why gambling is done and it is not good for children should be inculcated in their minds. And the thing that you mentioned, that is teaching money management to children, I think it is very important thing, it is not only in the field of gambling, it will be useful in others cases of their life.
But governments won't do that cause if they do then the next generation will really know what is salary and they will be smart enough to know that salary is just something other than modern slavery and why governments keep pumping their paper as money and as much as they want. So they are just gonna keep what they do now and let it slide by making an impression that they are doing something for the society while in reality they are trying to keep them uneducated,.
or in concern on what are the possible effects then they dont really care at all. This is why on the time that you do see those gambling ads on your TV then if you do have a child
then this is where parenting do kicks in. If you dont like for your children to go with that gambling path because of some curiosity basing up on what they had seen on the screen
then us parents or guardians should really be doing things which is a must thing to be done. There's no way on stopping these ads if they are been that totally allowed
or something legal.

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).

While watching TV I have seen many gambling advertisements. Also there are gambling ads while watching music on mobile phones or watching something entertaining on Facebook unique social media. Now not India advertisement but almost all the countries are advertising gambling, all these advertisements means more publicity. Of course I think that such advertisements should be less because in such advertisements our children may get addicted to gambling from here. Because here all the rules of gambling are illustrated through advertisement how to participate in gambling and there are lures in such a way that children can be very attracted to it. That's why I think all these ads should not be broadcast on TV. The government of every country should take steps towards this. Otherwise, one day the country will be full of gambling addiction.

Kids aren't easily attracted to that especially if that's a gambling advertisement. What they want to see while watching is cartoons, funny blogs, game streams, and anything that is funny. If that is gambling, they will just ask for that remote control and hit that skip advertisement.
If they don't ignore it, then it's not a problem. If they ask you about it then just answer them directly.
If we will hide it from them, that will just make them curious and that's a problem.

Seriously, the way gambling ads are being display on TV this days is alarming and dangerous for our upcoming generation. During football match, the fifteen minutes break is always use to advertise all sort of gambling sites. Almost all break in each program must consist of one gambling ads or another and the truth is we can not continue to lie to them. It will be a slap on our face if we lie to them and they eventually find out the truth about it. I believe that not all the children will bother to ask but in case they do, just go ahead to tell them all they need to know about it and of course how dangerous it can be in ruining someone's life if care is not taken. Focus more on its disadvantages so they will be scare to even attempt to try it out. I would also advise to change channel when such ads are being put to play. It won't take up to five minutes.

Then, it's really risky that they get inclined to developing different addictions, although gambling is harder for children to get access, since they need money to bet and to prove they are adults through KYC procedure. Anyway, ads won't stop being displayed on TV and Youtube channels due to disfunctional children who don't have attention and aren't cared by their families. The dangers and risks of the world don't stop existing because some people aren't prepared for them.

This should not happen, but not all countries allow gambling advertisements to be shown on TV, India may be one of the places where gambling advertisements are shown on TV screens, but not in my country, TV companies must follow the rules made by the authorities in our country regarding information and electronics, everything is regulated neatly, advertisements that have a bad impact on children are not allowed.But the Indian state authorities prohibit gambling advertisements from being shown on TV screens, in my opinion it is easy to prohibit companies from advertising this, but what is worse is kong-kali-kong, There are shrimps behind rocks and for some reason, they are difficult to eradicate, but if the Indian people protest against gambling advertisements on TV not appearing anymore, maybe that will help solve the problem, it all comes back to society and the government, because they can do whatever they want, including advertising gambling.

Yes, it is true that children will be very easily influenced, especially since things seem new to them, children's curiosity is very high.
and they will see and study it if they are really curious.
Preventing the display of such advertisements is also one form of preventing children from experiencing this.

No, if you want children to stay away from gambling then creating awareness about the importance of money and how much hours of work are put by their parents to get their salary every month then the kids realize where to spend money and where they should not.
But governments are really literally preventing nothing because they don't want to teach the upcoming generation about money then they will start asking questions about policies and it follows.
