For us, maybe it will be fine and don't care about the advertisements contained on social media, but some people also feel that these advertisements are only annoying because they appear suddenly and make what is being done on social media paused because of the appearance of advertisements which exists.
What is really regrettable is that when there are minors who access the internet or open social media such as YouTube or Facebook or even Twitter, they can see existing gambling advertisements and we ourselves also understand that underage children have a high curiosity, so they are at risk to open or visit the casino contained in the advertisement.
Ads that appear suddenly make people curious, especially those who don't see ads like that often. They will click on the ads to see what will happen and if they end up visiting the casino because of the ads, they should shut down the site immediately. Otherwise, they will be even more curious about gambling and instead play gambling. This has already happened to minors because those who are active on social media must have seen gambling advertisements to make them visit casino sites.

That's not how it works because in my country gambling is clearly prohibited and has laws stated in the country's laws but in reality there are lots of streamers and also gambling advertisements are still rampant and free.
The government will never make such an agreement with gambling business actors because in a government system there are rules that are still under law and regulated by law, but indeed there are some unscrupulous people who have high positions in their government to protect or cover up any action regarding the gambling industry due to the large amount of security money they can pocket for those illegal licenses.
That is clearly the case in your country, where gambling is prohibited but people still advertise gambling. I think this also happens in other countries that prohibit gambling, especially if they use the internet, where the internet can cross national borders and bypass regulations using a VPN.

That's why the government still has trouble blocking gambling developing in the country because people can use online gambling to gamble. And the government has not been able to find or track him down. In addition, some protect gambling or even make casinos illegal to get more money for them.
