Today I read in the news that the Dutch Gambling Authority, has prohibited the use of role models in gambling ads. This law will take effect from June 30.

Not really a good move because the casino will still make money even if they put unknown actors on their ads, and gamblers will still gamble

Quote

The gambling industry is very regulated. Now casinos will have to get super creative and think outside the box to create captivating adverts.

Very regulated but casinos still raked millions and its still a billion-dollar industry, they can do whatever kind of regulation but the gambling industry will still set new records every year

Quote

Again, this begs the question. Does self-exclusion actually work? And in this case, will the gamblers be punished also for failing to take responsibility for their recovery from addiction despite registering in the self-exclusion scheme?

That's very harsh those addicted to gambling should not be punished the authorities should help them get medical attention, they are not criminals to be punishe.

Gambling is here for centuries so banning some celebrities from promoting them will not stop the gambling but they do it for the sake of doing it and nothing else. Gambling isn't wrong or sin, its good as long as we do it in the right way so the self exclusion or banning celebrity from promotions won't stop people from doing it or even why they didn't ban the gambling is they want to stop the gambling activities?

Its just more pain for the casinos because they are trying to restrict them from making profits with more tax and a lot of limitations.

I guess you may have misunderstood the point of banning celebrities from promoting gambling adverts in the public which to me is a good move, since most kids and underage children see these celebrities as a role model, and seeing them advertising gambling may be a plot that can lure under age into gambling.
But the point of self-exclusion is a different case and it can't be stopped, take for instance if a player is self excluded from casino A he/her can simply create a new account on casino B and continue gambling unnoticed.

I don't think there will be repercussions on the side of the gambler when they failed to follow their own self-exclusion terms. But it would be better if fines were to be imposed, because in that case the problematic gambler would really think before trying to break their isolation from gambling platforms. If ever this goes full steam, this will give a chance to problematic gamblers to curb their addiction before it sets them to do stupid things even further and to possibly lose everything they have. The ban on gambling adverts and self-exclusion is a start, and a very much welcome strategy especially if full implementation becomes realized.

The regulation may limit advertisements that are considered intrusive or may attract minors to gamble freely. But if it's to limit minors, I think it also depends on how parents look after their children because no matter how strict the rules, if parents can't do their job as parents, it won't work out well.

In addition, self-exclusion can also work if gamblers are aware that they can take care of themselves in playing gambling and have a responsibility not to become addicted. If they could have that, I think self-exclusion would work as it should.

Banning role models from participating in gambling related ads looks like a good move. Kids who look up to these people may be saved from gambling addiction because of that. Maybe Dutch Gambling Authority should completely ban all adverts.

I will say so too, it would be a good move, it has come to the time that gambling ads are advertised on the many channels that kids are watching. In my country, even the biggest show is sponsored many times by the biggest betting platform in my country, many people are exposed to this including kids and teens that are lesser than 18 years of age. Not only that, it goes beyond, YouTube videos partaining to my country are full of gambling ads, and many more like that. I will still prefer gambling to be advertised on a forum like this rather than online places that kids and teens are visiting often.

This is the second thread about self-exclusion in an hour hehe. These laws and policies doesn't completely work just like how other laws doesn't totally prevent people from committing other crimes.

The rule seems more focus on the gambling operators than the gamblers.

Now casinos will have to get super creative and think outside the box to create captivating adverts. Also, investigations are ongoing regarding the failure of some gambling operators to check and prevent players who registered on the Cruks self-exclusion scheme from gaining access control in slot machine arcades. And they risk getting punished if they are found guilty.

Again, this begs the question. Does self-exclusion actually work? And in this case, will the gamblers be punished also for failing to take responsibility for their recovery from addiction despite registering in the self-exclusion scheme?
