Gambling companies must spend money on promotions to attract people to them and get more gamblers. this is their business and everyone wants to grow their business by various advertisements. Similarly, advertising on TV channels is one of their marketing strategies. and it is very effective because when they promote their casino site banner among different sports, all the sports fans are encouraged to play for their favorite team. and gradually they started engaging in gambling
People used to watch TV channels more often when the internet wasn't as common and accessible as it is today. Nowadays, the percentage of people who watch TV channels has reduced greatly because most people use the internet and watch movies and shows and other stuff using streaming services which are usually ad-free which means that there are no advertisements shown to subscribers in most of these services.
That's why, I believe that most gambling platforms and casinos use online channels for marketing purposes and to promote their products and services. Social media platforms are very much popular for such things, other than that, websites that put Google Ads in their banner positions often get gambling ads to promote.
Actually agree into this point and the fact that TV prices nowadays is already getting cheaper. You have noticed it too? Due to technoligical advancement then this is one of its effects on which those
traditional way becomes that obsolete or gradually becoming non relevant since everything could really be seen or watch by the comfort of your own hands via using mobile/cellphones
and this what makes the situation even more harder to control on considering that our kids do have their own devices then they are really that prone into those ads too
on which this is why it would really be that important that you should really be teaching them at least on whats its cons on dealing with it.
It is important as a parent on making them at least wary about its possible negative impact into someones lives once you've decided on taking
to deal from it. So its a personal choice i should say.
