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?

Here in our country, gambling ads are not allowed on TV, you can only see gambling ads on social media, YouTube, but mostly on social media because of vloggers. It's about your kid, tell him the truth, tell him that gambling is bad for a child, educate him. Your child will understand you, just let him know properly that he is not ready for such things, it is too dangerous for the child. +points for me when the child's parents don't gamble or the child doesn't see his parents gambling, others because they see their parents gambling so the children get curious and try too.

Different countries have different laws and policies when it comes to gambling and it's advertisments on national TV stations. In some countries gambling advertisments are not allowed on national TVs at all for the sake of children as the government are more concerned in protecting the kids from getting gambling knowledge at young age while in other countries, gambling advertisments are only shown on the national TV during midnight hours when the kids must have gone to bed but in some other countries, gambling advertisments are shown on national TV even during the day time.

In my own country, gambling advertisments is shown on national TV during the day especially when football games are being shown on the TV and that I think is very bad as it exposes the young children to gambling at very tender age.
