Topic: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. - page 5. (Read 1635 times)

Yes but we also can't close our eyes that they need money, or I mean influencers or vloggers want money from casinos in return for the promotion they have done, whatever the risk is they will most likely still take it because usually the amount of money offered by the casino is quite large for the agreement to promote the site so as you said that more and more we see influencers promoting a site without thinking about the fate of the people they invite to get involved. And I don't think there's any responsibility from the influencers with whatever happens to the people they get involved, and I think they already know that gambling has a significant impact especially when done the wrong way, but yes we can't ban it completely unless the law of their own country's government acts decisively.

When there is so much money in the influencer and gambling business model, there are some people who do not care if some type of advertising can harm Children or young people who are minors , because they only care that enter your Platform and play , but you have to be more Careful, more cautious, something that many people who have their child and don't do it is also valid, is to verify, guide and be aware of them at all times because they are minors of age, then it is also their fault for neglecting these things, Telephones, social networks, computers, they should not have as much access.

Social media influencers should not get into these kinds of activities. It is evident to see a greater number of vloggers and influencers promoting gambling at the end or at the start of their videos. Some have changed this after realizing that what they're doing isn't fair. Very importantly, these people just promote, and they don't know anything about gambling. When they are followed by a good number of people, they need to be more responsible and do the right thing. Social media plays a big role, and in some videos, the content itself is created to support gambling. Also, in some videos, they don't add the disclaimer.

That's right. Which is more of the reason why there's always a reminder from those influencers that gambling is for 18+ of age and above. Underage are not encouraged to start gambling as it is not a good for them. Aside from this reminder, influencers often say that if ever someone tried to gamble, they should gamble responsibly.

Advertising have a target market the same with promoting gambling. The only thing they can do is to put some reminders and it's responsibility on our side on how we will at least avoid or make the young ones to understand about those reminders about gambling.

Actually in advertising there's always a target audience but then the problem has been in the fact thst you can't be sure you are reaching out to those your audience alone, it's very possible others away from your audience is coming across the adds and you can't stop them and that's why there's parental controls on our home entertainment appliances.so these kids don't get to be exposed to sometimes they may get to regret it and move.

Some of those disadvantages are.the reason why some of these appliance gets to the target audience and not the parents.

There are so many on social media and we ought to make sure we don't spend any how or due to one influencer we have had about his profits which could help us to make fast profits from the market. That could be a big lie and we need to understand that many of these influencers  are doing things in their own favor and don't care about us whether we atr about to lose money or not. We ought to be ready to stay away or seek for help on gambling on social media. We might get the opposite of what we intended to get. People keep losing their funds in betting because they are following influencers that choose to know better than they do.

That's because it's what give them more money. Influencers across web forget that destroying the mindset of potential gamblers will cause more harm to the market than good. Soon enough just like on this thread, influencers will most likely get bad reviews with their careless policy of advertising. Enough to drop the rate people tend to value products or services advertised by influencers. Which is not a good sign for any business. it's important to level down every steps made on the internet to help make a better community both online and offline. Assuming those kids are being taken on detailed online teaching process on responsible gambling.

The kids viewing gambling ads can have a hint on things to do while or before gambling. Between, the information would be that gambling as an underage is not proper and it's considered a crime. The law is against it, both online and offline. Young people think differently and find alternatives to bypass some restrictions placed on them. Within their thinking they'll accept that participating in online gambling is right. But if someone reminds them online that gambling as an underage is a crime. They'll feel an eye is watching over them online. Since reverse is the case, they are encouraged to gamble online, what then do we expect of the kids to do if not gamble away their time. Hopefully, a correction will be introduced to help save young people from addiction.

Retain any information you get from the social media at your own detriment .... Does any of those promotions go for free?? These people are being paid to say whatever they have to say to you... Mostimes, I see them making another post to exonerate themselves should anything happen later on.
NGA win,  this and that flooding the Internet; the most exciting thing to know is that people still get into the comment sections to ask questions on how they could register and try their luck! Isn't that mind-blowing already? Lol ....

But I have to remind you that if you don't want to be influenced by gambling content, the first step is to report the content and choose a statement that the content does not match what you watch on social media. We need to know that if we watch more than 1 minute of gambling content, then content with gambling keywords is found again on social media homepages, so you have to immediately filter content that is worth watching and it is better to filter gambling content if you are not the type of gambler.

Good point, if you can avoid those contents then you are preventing the possibilities that it can affect the way you think, there are many influencers even some of those that at first they've got decent contents but because of high demands and good  offers they allow those gambling business to penetrate and change the directions of their contents more on the money side, but moving back to that sentiments, if you don't mind those kinds of contents and you don't take time or invest time to learn about it, then there's nothing to worry as it won't pollute your minds.

Not only people need to be way more careful with the way they use the internet, they really need to begin to be more discerning with the content they choose to consume, during the last years people have grown more concerned about what they eat and the exercise necessary to keep their bodies healthy, but not such movement has surged to take care of their minds, after all if you consume nothing but the content posted by most influencers, what kind of effect do you think this can have on your mind? The same effect that you could get if you ate nothing but sweets of course.

So you know some influencers who care about their viewers? If you don't know them, then you should not have used the word "few." As for me, all influencers do not care about their viewers, some might have feelings of guilt really at times depending on the niche they are into, but the zeal for the money and the actual money earned through their influencing services will overcloud the feelings. And no one can blame them for this, it is we who need to be wise, it is not all that we see that is actually as they are, do not trust anyone no matter how angelic they appear. That is the world we live in now, we should all be smart even as we enjoy it while it lasts.

Let's just see/know what we want and go for it, but not for the reason that one influencer says so, then you will act gullibly if we yield to such. Also, we must ensure that we do our own research about things because it is not all what those influencers propagate that are bad too, some are topnotch as well. Regardless, let us be doubtful, it's just for us to be smart in this regard.

Various gambling establishments are now targeting content creators whose content is generally viewed by a large number of people and who are followed by the general public. It can be seen that such content creators promote such gambling sites in the middle of the video or at the end of the video. People who watch their videos and have no prior knowledge about gambling but see gambling promotions of their favorite content creators get some interest in gambling and when they get interested in gambling, they want to know about gambling. This is not only seen in the content creators' videos but also in advertisements for T20 league tournaments or other tournaments but direct promotion of gambling sites. Gambling sites that promote big clubs or big teams can be trusted but there are some content creators who promote gambling sites that cheat in the future just for the sake of money. We must give utmost importance to the selection of gambling sites so that we do not get cheated later on.

No you're talking about the Internet, social media is more about celebrity lifestyle and vanity, sure there's information but most of the things revolving here are mostly socializing and connecting with people, that's why it's so impactful to use social media as a platform to advertise all of the stuff that you want to sell because it will almost always connect you to other people and you don't really want to be missing out on this one because the potential for social media is limitless. Now when it comes to gambling, social media is really good at making businesses go viral and the thing with gambling is that most people that start up these businesses, they're the ones that have the money at their disposal to be able to spend as much as they can to get to the algorithm and be promoted through advertisements in those social media platforms.

This will never happen to an influencer, no influencer emphasizes responsible gambling, they only emphasize fun and that every time they bet they can win more and more money, if they can say to play responsibly, but they say it to meet their expectations, because they itinerary and when the eprosnas start playing, they are not interested in the uncertain situation of each player, what they want is for their community to start playing and playing, there is no other Option , in that case things can be very different when one of them Also being influenced they worry about others , it is very strange because they would enter the educational field and that does not interest them much, what interests them is what people spend on or what they advertise.

And that calls for being vigilant with what you are seeing over the net, particularly if you have kids who are now freely surfing the cyberspace. You need to instill the right things to do such as not to be tempted with what they are seeing or reading, don't be gullible with what the influencers are advising them to do, don't click unfamiliar sites as they might be phishing sites, among others.
Advise them not to easily fall from teasers or ads which are too-good-to-be-true. Most of them are fake and exaggerated.

Influencers are now willing to do anything to earn money. Although their propaganda goes against the society, they are not harmed by it. They value more on money. Moreover, in reality there is no way to say anything to them. This is only possible if the government prohibits or discourages them. Currently, the promotion of gambling sites on social media has increased so much that it is now creating a big problem especially for those who are not suitable for gambling. I've seen quite a few big influencer campaigns on my social media recently and I'm surprised to see celebrities conduct gambling campaigns like them. It is true that an influencer gets a lot of money for gambling promotion which no other platforms or businesses organization can offer. Due to which people are becoming more interested in gambling promotions. Anyway we all should raise awareness.

in normal circumstances someone is not supposed to be discuss anything that have to do with her gambling in front of the children because there is something that you do that relate with gambling your children will follow the step that is why it's not good to even associate yourself or make it open that you are a Gambler when you're home so it is good for someone to know what is doing can do it well so that the children will not emulate him to participate gambling when there are not up to age

It's still unclear to me why influencers are being blamed for promoting gambling sites. Those who are to be tackled are the underaged players who don't mind their age and participate in gambling with fake identities. In some countries it's a felony, but due to the online settings they'll hardly get noticed and banned. Gambling is restricted for underaged people, and such majors like KYC has been made by the government and casinos to winnow out younger people from using online casinos. If the kids boycott it then the fault should be labeled on them, not the promoter.

A lot of ads are being placed online some are worse than gambling, yet the viewer still has the ability to ignore such ads and focus on what brought them on social media. The only issue with influencers is that they don't use same medium used in promoting gambling to discuss about responsible gambling. I think it'll help reduce the rate at which some young people would follow gambling ads. Their main aim is money, they don't care of the risks, if nobody talks to underaged players about risk and uncertainty of gambling results, most of them will wager blindly. Thereby, getting themselves into bigger troubles. Hence, if influencers should take it upon themselves to recuperate the brain of naive kids, their gambling thought might get removed.

The social media has created more awareness about gambling it's helped the number of gamblers increased more than twice as before when the social media didn't exist and you're right when you said it's the fastest means of getting information about gambling cause when it comes to promotion the social media is the best place where anyone could promote their business all over the world and the social media has helped increased the promotion of gambling to another level and with that, more people are beginning to come into the world of gambling not only the male genders but the male and female genders. Thanks to technology and the Internet that has helped people to get access to the social media and also gamble at the comfort of their home.
