Most of these adverts are done on sports channels and I don't see anything wrong with a child watching football. The reason why most of this football betting website prefers advertising on a football channel is because the audience they need are ones watching football. It is difficult to see an individual who doesn`t watch football to be involved in sports betting.

We have recommended cartoons for kids but some of these cartoons have erotic content capable of corrupting our kids so what should we do? Parenting the child from watching TV? Even exposing them to physical activity doesn`t mean that they are immune from being corrupted. We should understand the role of peers on kids and even as parents if we are careful not to expose our kids to gambling-related content, what about other careless parents? Personal observation shows that most times friends emulate gambling habits from friends. A friend taught me how to gamble and I know it is similar to other persons because I have taught some of my guys how to gamble too. As a parent, you can only do your best but unfortunately, your best doesn`t change anything.
A child can watch football and see the advertisements so they can easily see gambling advertisements on TV channels or the internet. The advertisements featured a list of casinos that sponsored the games and if the kids were interested in the advertisements, they would visit the betting site and try to find out. This can be the beginning of children's interest in gambling and if there is no supervision from their parents or other adults, they will start gambling without their parents' knowledge.

Children's cartoons also have an appearance that is not good for children because, as you said, there is an erotic appearance of the cartoon characters that are shown, and this can also arouse children's curiosity. Only supervision and education from their parents can keep their children away from bad things like that, especially since they are still developing and curious about things. Parents also have to be wary of their children's interactions with their friends because often, their children's interactions can also trigger them to try something they shouldn't do. We may have seen children gambling with their friends when they are together and without supervision from their parents or the adults around them because adults will think they are playing together even though they are gambling with their friends.
