I think we will not be able to completely prevent some shows that involve or that have elements of gambling promotion to limit their promotional shows on several media such as TV channels or other platforms because now is the digital era that all things we can find by just looking and carrying, a lot of references and knowledge that we can get on the internet because indeed on the other hand the internet has become an important part for several companies to develop their business because it is the internet that is their biggest promotional place, and we can find many things whether positive or negative.

So the point is that we as parents must make plans that lead to prevention in any way that we think makes sense, and one of them may be by limiting the activities carried out by a child who is still underage who does have a high enough curiosity about something they see, I think limiting them from the association of the environment along with limiting them from using social media is a good step to minimize.
Yes, it is difficult to prevent what we see on TV channels, especially if such advertisements are continuously broadcast to attract viewers' interest to visit online or offline casinos. Moreover, technology has developed more rapidly than a few years ago and is very different. We can only control the time they watch shows on TV while providing insight and understanding so that they are not influenced by what they see on TV. Children who watch advertisements or other things on TV or internet channels will be easily influenced by what they see and follow it without thinking about the impact.

We as parents should be able to guide our children to prevent them from doing things that could have bad consequences and also limit what they are not allowed to know. That is to give them understand that they are still children who do not need to know many things at their age. Their great curiosity must be diverted to positive things to develop in a positive direction and not do bad things.

Yes and the reason is because we do not have the right and power to regulate everything because all of that is beyond our ability individually and that means only the government in a country can limit or even prevent some promotional broadcasts in various channels because the government has the right and power to do so, and that means there is no other way if you really don't want your child to be affected by things like this especially what they see other than us limiting the activities carried out by a child, this is the only thing we can do for prevention so that things that are not wanted can be minimized a little. On the other hand, yes you have also said something that I said earlier that now is the digital era where everything we can get from the internet, especially science and other knowledge, so the point is that as much as possible we have to direct a child to things that are indeed more positive and along with limiting them, don't let them walk alone without monitoring from you as a parent.
