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?

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.

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.

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.

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

FOCUS

If national lottery is included in this gambling advertisement, basically I've watched before when I was still a kid but now I haven't seen any of these advertisement on television anymore. I remember that even the draw of winners are broadcast live on our national television. I know it because my father is actively watching it every night. Aside from national lottery, I can't recall any gambling advertisement from any channels in my country that had flashed a gambling advertisement. I think casinos are prioritizing in doing advertisement on social medias given that I am almost seeing one everyday.

With watching via YouTube I always use the kids account if they are watching or if not they tend to not watch TV and have seen some of those ads. We just tell them not to do it as it is a bad thing, but mostly they will ask more questions as they haven't noticed the ads.

In my country there is no advertising on TV about gambling. Because gambling is not legal here. But there are a lot of ads in online. Therefore, the effect of traditional TV advertisement is not much but the effect of online is not less. Because I think kids now prefer online more than TV. We used to see any advertisement on TV and take necessary measures so that no kid would be interested in it. But because of online advertising, those issues cannot be solved by others. However, this matter already taken in observation by the govt. authority. Advertising on TV is not unusual in any country where gambling is legal. If we can prevent children from watching such advertisements online then it will not be seen as a major problem.

I believe in being honest with children, but not all age groups can fully comprehend the complexities of certain topics. Nowadays, there are various types of gambling advertisements, including binary options, which can be considered a form of gambling. Explaining these concepts to a 6-7-year-old can be quite challenging.

Honesty with children is important so that they can accept the explanation and not be misinformed so that they can accept it. Maybe they will still have more questions about gambling and if we can explain it, we can explain it in more detail. But if we can't explain it, we can find other information to explain it to them. The important thing is that we can explain what they need to know so they don't go down the wrong path, including providing an understanding of the dangers of gambling at their age or when they grow up. This is necessary so they don't try it when they grow up because they already got the information from us.

I often come across gambling ads on YouTube, and my nephew frequently asks me about them. Initially, I was unsure how to explain this to him. I realized that, given his age, it might be challenging for him to grasp the concept no matter how I explained it. Fortunately, I found a solution - I started using YouTube Premium to avoid those ads.

The important thing is that we don't lie to them when explaining gambling so they also know the truth. We can also provide a detailed explanation about the consequences of gambling, especially when they grow up and the problems they can face as adults. Maybe they won't pay much attention but when they become curious, they will find out on their own and what is more worrying is if they gamble secretly without their parents knowing. They can get carried away with gambling and find it difficult to stop gambling, so parents must really be able to supervise their children when they are using their devices and connected to the internet.

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.

Yes I've seen it many times and all of them were in sport matches especially football match, although it is not a direct ads but there are many banners of gambling sites in sports matches.
I'm not quite understand about the rules and regulation of gambling ads in TV, but I'm sure every country and its local TV must have their own rules about it.
Personally I do not care about gambling ads in sports matches as it can be said as common thing but it will be bad if there are gambling ads outside sports events.
If we are afraid about our kids to watch that ads, we should educate them about it, dont let them find about it themselves without our control.

I agree, I understand that people do not want kids to be exposed to gambling ads, but there are also limits to the regulations that a government could put in place, if gambling ads were being shown during a TV show which was specifically aimed at kids then you can be sure I will be against that kind of advertising.

But a sport event more than anything attracts adults and young people, so I am fine with casino ads showing during sport events, and if a kid asks about it then they can be guided by their parents, instead of trying to get the government to regulate what we can watch or not on our TVs.

If I am not wrong in many countries advertising TV commercials is somewhat prohibited or restricted and also gambling platforms concentrate more on serious ways of advertising than just making funny ads on TV and expecting people to use them.

For example, casinos create sponsorship offer deals with popular franchise link football clubs then their logo will be in their jersey or some sort of it so whenever the team plays and the game Aired there will be millions of viewers watching the casino logo too and that is going to bring the actual customers and also creates more brand value to their name which adds further benefits.

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.

Regarding global strategic partnerships of gambling platforms with famous football clubs, I think a month or two ago I read a news that said that FIFA is about to impose a rule where gambling logos and names won't be allowed to be used on the front of the kits worn by players, I don't know if that is going to be implemented or not but if it does, that will be a big loss for casinos.

I don't really know what kind of Ads are shown on TV these days because I don't watch any private TV anymore. Except for Netflix I only watch some public TV with mostly news and local reports, luckily there are no ads. In my opinion there should definitely be boundaries on gambling ads on TV. For example, during morning Kid shows there shouldn't be any gambling related Ads. When the show is directly made for kids then there shouldn't be any Ads in general. The kids don't have any money yet and all the ideas put in their head will come down to the parents to buy these things. Why not just let kids enjoy their shows and only focus on adults with the Ads? In my country there are a lot of flyers and local advertising for gambling. Near one of my favourite restaurants is a big betting place and my niece and nephew keep getting cards from them, so every time we go for dinner and pass that place, they keep asking me about it. I don't think it's okay that they give their flyers to 10-year-old children, or maybe the find it on the ground as people throw it away, which is also not okay to produce these ads in such high quantities. Kids should be more protected from Ads in general, the companies can focus on them enough when they are adults.

Good thing I'd never see it on TV so I have nothing to explain with my kids. Maybe this will depend on the location or country that allows gambling ads to be published on Television because I'd never seen it since before. But can be seen on social media platforms like Facebook, in fact, many social media influencers are promoting this. This is not really appropriate to be on television and parents have a huge role in educating their kids. But I think the government must implement rules restricting this kind of ads shown on television as this is not appropriate for kids.

Here in our country, there's no such thing as gambling advertisement on TV, this is because there's an agency that filters the ads being showed on national television to protect the children's welfare. Almost all, if not really entirely of the advertisements in our country are rated G which means that it is suitable for any audience. And if there are ads that weren't filtered in the beginning, the mtrcb will remove it from being aired ever again especially if it is bothersome and could promote harmful effects to the viewers.

Hopefully, there will also be an agency like ours to filter the ads being displayed and played on your TV. This is to prevent kids from being exposed to unwanted scenarios that could cloud their judgment.

One time I watched UCL together with my little brother who was still underage, he was the type of person who was very curious, so he asked about everything there, including the main sponsor Porto (Betano), so I just explained what Actually, without having to lie, I also explained that gambling is a scary thing if you can't control yourself, that's all.

Yes, that's a good way for you to explain to your little brother about the dangers of that site, so that it's not easy for him to look for it on Google search and play there. Moreover, the advertisements that appear on the football field boards, including sponsors, don't look like gambling either. it's just a written name of the site so they will definitely ignore it and it's not that important to know.

But if your sister is a curious person, maybe not many people are like you, most people will ignore the ad, it doesn't even look like an invitation, it's even displayed for something that makes people curious, just a billboard with the name of the site and a sponsor, nothing more. In fact, what's dangerous is if your younger sibling sees a gambling streamer on the internet where the details are clearer there. btw, fortunately you are in a country where gambling is not legal.

I don’t see anything wrong with an advertisement if there are no direct calls to play. If it is simply informational in nature, then it’s okay. But if the advertisement contains aggressive prizes for playing and communicating a large bonus and an easy game, this should definitely be regulated by censorship.

Is there any advertisement that doesn't invite people to buy or entice viewers unto their platform or product? Isn't that the main point of why these companies or businesses do advertisement?

There are some countries who regulates these kind of gambling advertisement while there are some who ban them. However, there are some who allow them at all. In my case, most of the gambling advertisement we've received from television are mostly offline casino where people will be tempted with all the prizes they offer especially grand prizes. They also showcase how alluring their casino is and where people will be excited to visit them.

I don't mind much about these gambling advertisement for my children since, for me, it still depends to us parents to educate them especially that these gambling things mostly starts on their environment such as schools and other children they'll interact with and not on a casino.

Yes, gambling advertisement is nothing new on television.

But if you don't want to see that, the only way is switching to other stations especially for kids e.g. kids station, CN, discovery kids etc. If you say you're not enjoy to watch it, then I can't comment too much.

I never watch television anymore because cell phone is better for my productivity.

In Indonesia gambling is illegal, therefore we'll never see any gambling advertisements there. However, there are several things that cannot be separated from these advertisements, such as the UCL event, because Indonesia is a country where football fanaticism is very high, it is undeniable that children and adults will watch UCL events, where several teams there directly sponsor gambling sites.

One time I watched UCL together with my little brother who was still underage, he was the type of person who was very curious, so he asked about everything there, including the main sponsor Porto (Betano), so I just explained what Actually, without having to lie, I also explained that gambling is a scary thing if you can't control yourself, that's all.
