A lot of social media influencers especially vloggers and YouTubers are promoting gambling usually at the end of their vlogs or videos.
I could see a huge contribution and spread of information that they made especially during this time where the majority are using smartphones already. In fact, we've been seeing a massive increase in gamblers and online gambling sites. But how this could affect the mindset of the kids when they are also seeing these ads/promotions from the social media influencers they followed? I could be wrong but this has a mental effect on them and at a very young age, they are exposed to gambling already which is supposedly not the right time.

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

with my understanding I think they're also profiting from them and it's also making the social media to be known to the society, the only place they will get effect it's only when if they're taking percentage from their customers. But if they are willing to lose some customers and followers they shouldn't try to take charge from them, but most of the social media now are going too far and they're taking it to the extreme that if you do not have an account or a wallets you can't partake with them. But in the other hand they're also helping to promote gambling to be known to the the global and with that everyone can feel comfortable of playing a bet and to gamble. Because they're making things more easier for the gamblers around the world.
