I think these influencers must know their target audience before accepting the offer or should not be included in their blogs or videos?

This is common in my country. They do not care than the money the gambling site they are advertising for will pay them.

YouTube is not better but there are local channels in my country that you will see gambling site advertising which is worse.

Recently I was passing through the bank road in my town, I saw a sign board of 1xbet. Did you know how many under age that would have seen it. The problem goes to government negligence.

Same here in my country but I can't blame those hungry influencers who are getting paid to promote online casino on socail media like FB which has way too high traffic from billions of users around the world and that is actually a downside if we are taking minors into consideration since most of them are now involved with it. Poor people becomes even worst since in the hope of making huge returns from gambling they end up nothing but miserable.

Yeah, as there are always minors who can easy view and visit whatever gambling site the promoters shared from there videos, as the emerging technology grows a lot, it's easy to for young minors to fake their age and their identities once they already get engage to whatever types of gambling that earn their interest.

But, that's also the thing here, money is all that matters for those influencers who don't care about the possibilities that they've got minors viewers/followers.

It's still unclear to me why influencers are being blamed for promoting gambling sites. Those who are to be tackled are the underaged players who don't mind their age and participate in gambling with fake identities. In some countries it's a felony, but due to the online settings they'll hardly get noticed and banned. Gambling is restricted for underaged people, and such majors like KYC has been made by the government and casinos to winnow out younger people from using online casinos. If the kids boycott it then the fault should be labeled on them, not the promoter.

A lot of ads are being placed online some worse than gambling, yet the viewer still has the ability to ignore such ads and focus on what brought them on social media. The only issue with influencers is that they don't use same medium used in promoting gambling to discuss about responsible gambling. I think it'll help reduce the rate at which some young people would follow gambling ads. Their main aim is money, they don't care of the risks, if nobody talks to underaged players about risk and uncertainty of gambling results, most of them will wager blindly. Thereby, getting themselves into bigger troubles. Hence, if influencers should take it upon themselves to recuperate the brain of naive kids, their gambling thought might get removed.
