Social media is an avenue whereby we get used to every information's needed to learn about in gambling, its one of the fastest means to disseminate these information, learn about gambling and also make use of the platform to promote what has been established, social media is a vital aspect of the gambling section in which many of them set target on because almost everyone gambling make use of the social media as long as they are online, its a place to get across and connect to the whole world while at the comfort of your home.

Yeah, as there are always minors who can easy view and visit whatever gambling site the promoters shared from there videos, as the emerging technology grows a lot, it's easy to for young minors to fake their age and their identities once they already get engage to whatever types of gambling that earn their interest.

But, that's also the thing here, money is all that matters for those influencers who don't care about the possibilities that they've got minors viewers/followers.

"Believe everything  you see on social media at your  own risks".

I once fell victim to an influencers fake gambling promotion. We were told to rush to a certain betting site, login with his promo code and we will earn double on our initial deposit in that account.  All said about the betting site was true but I had difficulties withdrawing my funds, thereby making the betting platform useless. A lot of viewers fell victim to this.

A lot of influencers do not care about their fans, as long as they will be getting benefits. What do you expect from influencers who take advantage of every opportunity to make money from it? They've worked hard to become popular and famous, provided they are getting the attention and support they need from their fans and viewers, they won't stop exploiting them.

I have come to realize that, a lot of people who fall victim to gambling related scams promoted by  popular people around us are only pushed by greed to use sites they should be avoiding instead. Any gambler that can control greed will be able to avoid lots of gambling issues.

This is really a shame, I think the smallest scope that can save future generations and children is their respective families. The government or those in charge sometimes also have limitations in responding to the widespread promotion of gambling, and social media has now become the main forum for running gambling advertisements. Influencers who have a large follower base on their accounts sometimes don't think wisely in taking jobs. Also, quite a few advertisements circulating on social media today are fake advertisements, which edit the faces and voices of Influencers with the help of AI.

It is clear that the impact that can be caused is very large, we will find it difficult to prevent them from coming into contact with gambling, because almost every time children interact with social media. Even parents who really understand gambling and have been involved in gambling will not agree with the way these advertisements are run. Therefore, to avoid the risk of exposure to gambling advertisements, it is better for parents to always supervise the devices they give to their children.

Believe me, many of them are the best at what they do: playing the image game. But its simple, its about being upfront. When they hide the "sponsored" part, when its not crystal clear whats a real opinion and whats paid, its a problem. Big problem. Its bad business, and it erodes trust.

Think of yourself as the consumer - the very best consumer. We, the public, deserve better than getting misled. Its about respect. We should hold influencers to the highest standards. They got a big audience, that means big responsibility. We need more honesty, more authenticity in how they operate. It benefits EVERYONE - the influencers themselves, the companies, and most importantly, us. Thats how you build a strong, sustainable system. Period.

In YouTube and other social medias, the creator has an option to restrict minor to watch their videos, except the minor create a brand new account and fabricated their ages. If there's no warning message in their contents, it means the creator really don't care with the followers.

It's really easy to notice, when the streamers have no idea with something they promote, their eyes will look into other side (not the camera) because they need to deliver messages from the project.

Same here in my country but I can't blame those hungry influencers who are getting paid to promote online casino on socail media like FB which has way too high traffic from billions of users around the world and that is actually a downside if we are taking minors into consideration since most of them are now involved with it. Poor people becomes even worst since in the hope of making huge returns from gambling they end up nothing but miserable.

Well, there are only a few influencers who care and are concerned about their viewers, and I also understand why, because they only do it as work, as long as they make money, that's all that matters even though they know that the other promotions they do will cause harm to other viewers especially minors. What you mentioned is true because most of those who promote gambling use a set up accounts to make the promotion they share more believable, sometimes the other influencers don't really know anything about gambling, it seems like they just accepted the offer because it's giving them a huge compensation.

Since those influencers do not really care about what they are promoting then we need to stop caring about their opinions as they are worth nothing, besides even if they were promoting a reputable casino, the way they do it is not up to my liking, as even in those instances they are doing in a way I think it is deceiving, as they portray themselves as gamblers having a good time and obtaining profits with their bets, when most of the time the money they are betting is not even real.

Most of the influencer doesn't really care about it as long as they are getting paid, just like most of the celebrities who promotes crypto without proper knowledge they doesn't care about it as long as they get paid for their job.
Surely there are people out there who would be tempted to try out the platform that those influencers are promoting, specially those who would show how easily they are winning tons of money from those platform.
As a grown up we couldn't deny the fact that even if we are aware that those video are fake or just for publicity we still are being tempted by it, so just think how the kids would react to it.

Social media platforms are usually used to promote companies quality and lot more, without social media platforms a lot of companies wouldn't have gotten to were they are now. Some local casinos didn't have the type of quality they have not until dey start using the internet to promote their company quality. Gambling online is different from gambling offline, it more easier to gamble online than gambling offline and I believe you already know why they are different and easy too.

Social Media has indeed covered everything nowadays because everyone is familiar with modern technology and there is a lot of information, marketing and advertising promotions by influencers. Influencers are paid by the owner who tries to advertise the product. He is also paid to promote gambling sites for those who have This gambling site is so that many people know and use the site to gamble. Indeed, the impact that this promotion will have is that small children can watch their promotional videos and it will make children ask whether this is a new game and they may think that it's a fun game and try to download and try to play it.

It's not that easy for children to play online gambling even though they actually think that it's an ordinary game and doesn't cause anything. But still promoting gambling and being watched by small children will have an impact on their dirty thoughts to try the game and think it can make money for them, usually these influencers often make videos that they can win their bets even though in fact it is a setting on a gambling site not an advertisement that should be spread widely via social media that is watched by children, influencers are responsible, they should educate and provide positive insight for fans so that they don't harm childrens future if they get to know gambling.

What you did is what everyone should be doing. We live in a world where you can't believe anyone, so if it's just an influencer that you are following over the internet asking you to join a certain project or a platform you shouldn't do it blindly and should do your research beforehand. Those who blindly trust influencers and content creators they watch and follow on social media platforms and streaming platforms tend to experience a lot of losses.

So in this case, I wouldn't completely blame the influencers because even though it's unethical for them to do that, it's our responsibility as users to make sure that we are doing things that aren't harming us in anyway because those promoting the platform aren't going to pay us for using them.

In this day and age, most people are active on social media, so social media is the perfect place for them to do promotions and the like. They dare to pay influencers handsomely to promote the casinos they own, and indeed what they spend is very commensurate with what they get. This is nothing new that I myself almost always see promotions or advertisements from a casino on almost all the social media platforms that I have.

The casino will definitely be aware of the potential they can get from social media. I can't say this has a positive or negative impact on social media users, but for casinos this is clearly a big positive impact for them.

Now many underage children are on social media, and I think that might have a bad impact, because they can get to know gambling before their time. The reason is that social media has become a public place that can be accessed by everyone, including children.

That is why children only access their social media with parental supervision as well as when watching shows on YouTube and so on, so that when they see such content their parents can provide the right understanding, unfortunately, many parents let their children enjoy their android so they are not disturbed, this is what I often see around me
Influencers know their target and it is possible that their target is not children because they think the chances of getting followers or new players are small but the real target is adults but because there is no supervision from parents so even children can see the content, that's why we have to take care of our families using adblockers or continue to accompany them when accessing devices connected to the internet.

Generally hiding things from young ones is a very wrong move. This is because the younger generation tend to be very inquisitive and therefore will go almost any length to sought for even things you try to hide from them. These things in turn could impact negative effects on them this because in such case they have very little or no experience and therefore could easily fall victims.
Instead of hiding things like gambling from them especially in this era where the internet carries a lot of information, it is better to explain it to them so that they would be fully aware of the dos and don'ts making difficult for them to easily fall victims of situations like gambling addiction.

Social Media plays a vital role in the marketing and promotion of most gambling sites and their impact is a highly positive one which is why we see casinos spending so much money to have social media coverage and most of their influencers make all the video streaming and posting them via they social media all do that to build good visibility for them online.

Well atleast you even get to show interest as for me whenever I see big social media influencers promoting any site or casino I just disqualify it even if am certain that the casino might be good, for me it's just as if am being played on because the people even telling you about the casino actually doesn't even use them and know no shit whatsoever about these casino.

You are doing the right thing by being suspicious about it, as the last person you should take any kind of financial advice is from the person that is trying to sell you a particular asset or service, a decision that can save you a lot of money, as how many times we have seen people come to complain about a casino scamming them, and in this forum that casino had a terrible reputation already? However most people are not as skeptical as we are, and they have to pay the price of not taking a few minutes of their time to do their due diligence.

Well, all of them, due to the business model, are making their way to do many things in favor of social networks, influencers can now earn a lot of money by promoting different types of casinos, but the important thing is credibility, because they cannot be promoting casinos that They are scams because that causes their reputation to fall and therefore their followers will no longer support them. It is also necessary to highlight that Twitter, like Instagram and Tik Tok itself, which is the most viral, is mostly the one that most people use, in fact Personally, I don't use Tik Tok, I have done things but that is something because when I do them it is only to help someone follow it and that's it, then I remove it and the truth is I don't even remember the passwords, because I don't like that social network, But because of how viral it is, it is very necessary to have the news in the influencers and in the casinos.
