Advertising on TV might be banned but we know that the internet now become more advanced so kids can watch it for free from their social media page. They will see it many times every day without control unless we use some adjustment to their smartphone or we gives understanding to them that playing gambling can gives a negative effect to their life. But yes, people enjoy watching the matches and not about betting so they wants to search an entertainment rather than to place a bet. And nowadays, the casino tends to use the internet to promote their business whereas they can get unlimited potential target from all countries. It's a responsibility for every people to be able to respond to what happened and will not take a wrong way.

Usually, we do not see these online gambling site ads that are listed and discussed on bitcointalk. Sometimes i get to see the gambling or betting ads for some local site or application being used in the country. For example, these days while watching IPL in Star Sports, we may come across Dream 11, which is a sort of gambling app. At the end of the ad that is aired on the tv, they also give a disclaimer that it is a risky market so invest at your own risk.

I think this is just a formality to put this disclaimer at the end, otherwise, they would want everyone to join those gambling apps. For sure, they are giving a lot of money to the national and sports TV channels and they would like the ROI so more and more people join their program and they won't care if the majority of them lose the money, do they  Huh

Just like cigarette companies that will advertise their products just to get customers and still issue a warning to their prospective customers that smokers are liable to die young, same applies to the gambling industry. This people know how addictive gambling can be and that is why they must always warn their customers before hand by leaving a  note for them to gamble responsibly or avoid gambling if they are under-aged.

I have never seen gambling being advertised on TV before, only casinos and other betting platforms promote their brands on TV but on strict regulations. Ofcourse, such promotions usually end with disclaimers which is supposed to restrain a responsible gambler from doing certain things. But most gamblers would rather ignore these warnings and take the risks. Afterall, the more risk you take,  the more chances you have to earn big. But this saying doesn't always end well for most gamblers.
