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?
I rarely watch TV with advertising these days, the rise of the streaming platforms also meant that I am really sensible to advertising now and will avoid it as much as possible. So, I am not really sure if there are many gambling ads in my country at the moment. What I do know is that there are a lot of other forms of gambling ads, like public posters, flyers or the most visible ones are on the side of cars. Because of all the casino lights and the pictures are usually taken at night the ads look pretty cool. When asked by kids about them I think it's important to stay honest and not lie to them. My nephew is almost 10 and he gets very interested in new topics. I tell him that it's gaming for adults that involve money and you need to be 18. When he is still interested when he turns 18 I am happy to take him to a casino and teach him about the games.
