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?

- Well, the only thing I see that has gambling ads is on Facebook, and I'm not sure if there are also on YouTube, but there are no gambling ads on regular TV or television. So, it means that gambling ads on regular television channels are not regulated.

So the only problem here is Facebook, because there are often many minors who use it, so children cannot avoid it, and their parents do not monitor it most of the time.

If there are indeed gambling advertisements on TV then this would be very unfortunate because it could be that children who are not yet adults and can differentiate between good and bad continue to try to gamble, of course this is not very good because they are not yet able to carry out gambling activities and if they Of course as parents they must be responsible for eliminating the habit of gambling in their children.
Telling them that gambling is not a good thing can keep them from gambling and if they keep doing this they will still be able to control themselves because they already know that gambling is not a good thing for them to do.

Yes, you are right, it will not be a good situation for children to see gambling ads, so in such a situation, they will have curiosity and can ask questions in their minds about gambling.
