The way gambling ads are everywhere now, it’s really hard to miss them, whether we’re scrolling online or just driving around town. It’s true, these ads don’t pick ages; they reach everyone, making it super important for us as parents to step up. We’ve got to chat with our kids about gambling, especially since the ads aren’t slowing down and technology is only making it easier to stumble upon them.
And yeah, with all the new tech and crypto casinos popping up, they’re catching more attention than the traditional spots. It’s a lot, and while casinos are just doing their thing within the rules, it really does feel like everyone needs to pitch in to make sure gambling is kept responsible, especially for the younger eyes.
Gambling advertisements are like mushrooms that are scattered everywhere. Meanwhile, today's life cannot be separated from the internet and social media where there are lots of gambling advertisements. We cannot limit the presence of these advertisements, because we are nobody. So what we can do is limit ourselves so that we are not easily influenced by advertisements like that, because what is circulating on social media is not only advertisements for legal casinos, but there are also many illegal casinos that try to promote their gambling sites there. And of course this could be dangerous for our children, especially at an early age and not yet mature in thinking, this is a worry for us as parents about how we can protect our children from irresponsible gambling activities. as well as other negative impacts. Providing a simple explanation and understanding to our children about the negative impacts of gambling is the first step in efforts to protect our children.
The emergence of new technology and crypto casinos has seen them gain more interest than conventional gambling venues. The availability of these options, as well as innovations, inevitably require attention to ensure that gambling activities are carried out responsibly, while taking into account the potential impact on minors. Therefore, all stakeholders, including gambling company operators and governments, need to be involved in the process to ensure a responsible gambling industry.
You got the gist rightly, but I often look past the advertisement disturbance per se, unless the advert is such that is affecting my viewing of an important video or a webpage. If they are such that are sensibly placed, there is no issue on that at all. After all, the companies involved are trying to get themselves known and must have paid the website or platform I was accessing, which I believe is running well to also deliver the good service I was benefiting from due to the money received for the adverts. This is a win-win for everyone even if I do not get the monetary benefits, only that they should not let it be placed idiotically.
Also with adverts, one can still get the fastest gist of events, which makes it very good to welcome advertisements. But due to the recent development where adverts can be shown anyhow, one should be careful about what they view/watch in the presence of children. A good popup blocker can go a long way in this to avoid the sudden ones that are very disturbing. But for the ones on the TV, it is difficult to avoid that in the presence of the children, which is unpalatable. Technology has brought about the good and bad side, nevertheless, when we are sensitive and cautious enough, we can get the good benefits from it and avoid the bad side even as we educate our children on some things which we know they might be privy to in our absence.
